Hi.
I'm porting a legacy Django+mod_python application to Django+WSGI on Apache httpd 2.4 (Linux) and cannot get user authentication to work. It's not that authentication is running and failing or that it's reporting errors, it's simply not running at all. When my WSGI-authenticated URL is accessed, I do trace into Django code so it's not like I'm completely misconfigured but the
check_password function (and the
login and
authenticate functions too) are never invoked. Similarly, my configured backend database class initializes but its
load method is never called. I'm using out-of-the-box Django authentication classes, have followed Django's (excellent) mod_wsgi integration
instructions and still don't see any attempt at authentication. I'm at a loss how to debug this further; thoughts or suggestions, please?
