Re: authenticate() not working

[aRkadeFR]

Hello,


Just by changing the type of your input, you're enable to
authenticate inside your view then?

Do a dump of your post data to see if anything has changed.
```
print("data: {!s}".format(request.POST))
```

Then you can see in a shell (manage.py shell) if the authenticate
function works as expected with your data.

It's because you need to login the user (authenticate don't login only get the user )

It's something like this:

from django.contrib.auth import authenticate, login

def my_view(request):
    username = request.POST['username']
    password = request.POST['password']
    user = authenticate(username=username, password=password)
    if user is not None:
        if user.is_active:
            login(request, user)
            # Redirect to a success page.
        else:
            # Return a 'disabled account' error message
            ...
    else:
        # Return an 'invalid login' error message.
        ...
