Django authentication back-end that allows one to login as someone else (an existing Django user allowed to login) without having to know their password.
Great for customer support and testing scenarios!
Quickstart
Install djactasauth:
pip install djactasauth
Add it to your auth backends in settings:
import djactasauth
AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS = (
...,
'djactasauth.backends.OnlySuperuserCanActAsBackend',
...,
)
Configure the custom login view to take advantage of all the features in your urls.py:
from django.conf.urls import patterns, url
from djactasauth.views import PrefillLoginView
from testapp.views import whoami
urlpatterns = patterns(
'',
url(r'^login/$', PrefillLoginView.as_view(), {}, 'login'),
)
Then you can log in with username your_superuser_name/customer and password yourpassword.
