Simulating REMOTE_USER login with the test server

[Gergely Polonkai]

Hello,

I’m about to use the test server with REMOTE_USER based logins. I already know how to set it up with my Apache based server, but I can see no way of doing the same with the dev server (manage.py runserver). I have tried setting the environment variable REMOTE_USER to a desired value, as I saw some env vars in request.META earlier, but it doesn’t seem to help. Does anybody know if this is possible, and if so, how?

Best,

Gergely

You can also set up Apache locally as your dev server. I think the dev
server is more convenient for automatic reloading after saving code
changes but you can restart Apache easily enough to live with a little
inconvenience during development of that part of your project.

Write a piece of custom middleware that is only active with DEBUG=True
that sets the REMOTE_USER you desire.

That’s exactly what I was doing, just haven’t had the time yet to share my experience :)
