Test cases fail with authentication against REMOTE_USER with normal auth fallback

[Gergely Polonkai]

Hello,

I was trying to follow https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.8/howto/auth-remote-user/.

If I enable django.contrib.auth.middleware.RemoteUserMiddleware, even if I set AUTHENTICATION_BACKEND to contain both RemoteUserBackend and ModelBackend, my test cases stop working. However, using the runserver environment, everything looks just fine regardless if I have REMOTE_USER set (and I get logged in successfully with REMOTE_USER set to the correct value).

Do I have to change anything in my tests for this to work?

For the record, I use django_webtest for most of my tests.

Best,

Gergely
