"Authenticating Users" where should I put the code?

[Jack Yan]

in the tutorial and section "Authenticating Users":

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.6/topics/auth/default/

where can I put code:

from django.contrib.auth import authenticate
user = authenticate(username='john', password='secret')
if user is not None:
    # the password verified for the user
    if user.is_active:
        print("User is valid, active and authenticated")
    else:
        print("The password is valid, but the account has been disabled!")
else:
    # the authentication system was unable to verify the username and password
    print("The username and password were incorrect.")

in what file or what folder?

This should be in your views.py.

That is described later in the same page [1].

But if you just want to enable login/logout/password reset for your project, the easiest way is to include Django's default auth views in your urls.py [2].
