Documentation

By default, the ``authenticate`` method creates ``User`` objects for
usernames that don't already exist in the database.  Subclasses can disable
this behavior by setting the ``create_unknown_user`` attribute to
``False``.

Methods

▶ def authenticate(self, request, remote_user) override
The username passed as ``remote_user`` is considered trusted. Return the ``User`` object with the given username. Create a new ``User`` object if ``create_unknown_user`` is ``True``.
source link
This method overrides django.contrib.auth.backends.ModelBackend.authenticate.
```
Return None if ``create_unknown_user`` is ``False`` and a ``User``
object with the given username is not found in the database.
```
▶ def clean_username(self, username)
Perform any cleaning on the "username" prior to using it to get or create the user object. Return the cleaned username.

```
By default, return the username unchanged.
```
▶ def configure_user(self, request, user)
Configure a user after creation and return the updated user.
source link
```
By default, return the user unmodified.
```
