Django Auth/Sessions with mongokit

[BRLYNS]

Has anyone successfully integrated mongokit as a django auth and sessions backend? If so, could you share the code?

Cheers and thanks to everyone in this group for helping out!

I certainly have. It works great! First I set this in settings.py:

AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS = (
'mongo_auth.UserBackend',
)

mongo_auth.py looks like this::

from django.contrib.auth.backends import ModelBackend
from django_mongokit import connection, get_database
from users.models import User

class UserBackend(ModelBackend):

def authenticate(self, username=None, password=None):
collection = get_database(connection).users
user = collection.User.one({'username': username})
if user and user.check_password(password):
return user

def get_user(self, username):
collection = get_database(connection).users
user = collection.User.one({'username':username})
if user:
return user



As you probably know now I'm using django-mongokit to wrap the
MongoKit stuff and I've developed a model for the User which has
worked really well for me. I've attached it to this email. I hope that
works.

Thanks for this. One question though . . . . how do you create users? I didn't see that, but maybe I overlooked.
