Django request.user在重定向后变为匿名

Question

In my Django app I create a User from django.contrib.auth.models, and I am using request.user in multiple view functions without a problem. In one of my view functions I change the user password, save the user, and redirect the client to another view function. Once I try to get the user from the request in that function, the user is Anonymous. After using User.set_password() or redirecting, does it take the user out of the session ?

views.py

                    login(request, user)
                    return HttpResponseRedirect(

Answer 1

Yes. See the documentation about session invalidation on password change . To fix it, see this bit in particular:

The default password change views included with Django, PasswordChangeView and the user_change_password view in the django.contrib.auth admin, update the session with the new password hash so that a user changing their own password won't log themselves out. If you have a custom password change view and wish to have similar behavior, use the update_session_auth_hash() function.
