External Authentication with username in header

[Mark Glass]

I would like to change the link that opens a Django app. Currently the app is launched with GET http://localhost:8000. I would like to include a username and password in the header. The header would be intercepted somehow (Middleware?) and the user marked as authenticated. The app will then launch for the user with a default role.

This will replace a login page and Django internal authentication. 

Can I implement this using middleware? If so, how?

Thank you

That sounds like a Single Sign On or a Central Authentication Service. This stackoverflow shows some suggestions https://stackoverflow.com/q/4662348/1431104

Or if your "External Authentication" is a known provider service, you could take a look at django-allauth.

Middleware is how Django does it.

I did something like this recently when I was trying to get a django app to work with Authelia. I found this example using the RemoteUserMiddleware useful: https://github.com/authelia/authelia/commit/8c9ba407f698eacc145e5fbe4e57fc27e7411261

Django 4.1 now supports ext auth. Never try but hope this helps

你可以尝试下JWT，在django中使用的话是pyjwt
