Class PersistentRemoteUserMiddleware

django.contrib.auth.middleware.PersistentRemoteUserMiddleware

Middleware for Web-server provided authentication on logon pages.

Declaration

class PersistentRemoteUserMiddleware(RemoteUserMiddleware)

Documentation

Like RemoteUserMiddleware but keeps the user authenticated even if
the header (``REMOTE_USER``) is not found in the request. Useful
for setups when the external authentication via ``REMOTE_USER``
is only expected to happen on some "logon" URL and the rest of
the application wants to use Django's authentication mechanism.
