Simple-django-tequila

A very simple django login backend to login users with tequila.

Sciper is used as username.

EPFL also has a more complex version if needed: http://kis-doc.epfl.ch/django/django-tequila.html

Install

1. pip install simple-django-tequila

2. Add to your settings.py :

AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS = ('simple_django_tequila.Backend',)
LOGIN_URL = '/login'

TEQUILA_SERVER = 'https://tequila.epfl.ch'  # Url of tequila server
TEQUILA_SERVICE = 'Name of your application'  # Title used in tequila
TEQUILA_AUTOCREATE = True  # Auto create users ?
TEQUILA_UPDATE = True  # Update users ?
TEQUILA_FAILURE = '/failure'  # Where to redirect user if there is a problem

2b) If you still want to use normal django's authentification, add 'django.contrib.auth.backends.ModelBackend' in AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS

3. Add to your urls.py

url(r'^login$', 'simple_django_tequila.login'),

4. You can login using url /login. Notice: You don't have to do this, you can use the view simple_django_tequila.login as one of your login's methods.

5. (Optionnal)

If you want to use this to login in admin section, create in your templates' directory the file admin/login.html with the following content:

<script type="text/javascript">window.location='/login?next=' + window.location</script>

6. (Optionnal)

Create a view with a template bound to url TEQUILA_FAILURE to inform user about problems.

7. If you want to be an admin with a tequila user, create an admin account with your sciper as username before using tequila's authentification or use shell to manipulate the database :

python manage.py shell

from django.contrib.auth import get_user_model

user = get_user_model().objects.get(username=YOURSCIPER)

user.is_admin = True
user.is_staff = True

user.save()
