Setting Up User Authentication in Wagtail

[Mohit Gupta]

Hello,

I've noticed that wagtail sets the LOGIN_URL and LOGIN_REDIRECT_URL variables to redirect from the django admin to the Wagtail admin. 

As far as I know, if I'd like to use the @login_required decorator, I need to be able to set these variables for my user login pages. Is there a current workaround for this?

Full disclosure: I'm pretty green at setting these up with Django much less wagtail.

Any help would be appreciated!

Hi Mohit,
The forthcoming Wagtail 1.0 release will eliminate the need for these variables:
http://docs.wagtail.io/en/latest/releases/1.0.html#you-no-longer-need-login-url-and-login-redirect-url-to-point-to-wagtail-admin
For now, you can use the Wagtail 1.0 beta release (set 'wagtail==1.0b1' in your requirements file).

Cheers,
- Matt

Thanks for the quick reply Matt.

I also noticed that django.contrib.sites is isn't one of the default INSTALLED_APPS. 

Would I be able to install django.contrib.sites without causing any big problems with the wagtail?

Cheers,

Mo

Hi Mo,
I think enabling django.contrib.sites should be fine, although it probably hasn't had much testing - so give it a go, and let us know if you run into any issues. The only restriction I'm aware of is that you probably won't be able to use Django's CurrentSiteMiddleware <https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.8/ref/contrib/sites/#site-middleware>, as the 'request.site' variable conflicts with the one set by Wagtail's SiteMiddleware.

Cheers,
- Matt
