登录门户后，在我的 Django 门户中，我的 request.user 始终提供值 AnonymousUser

Question

def login(request):
     if request.method == 'POST':
        form = AuthForm(request.POST)
        if form.is_valid():

               userEmail = strip_html(form.cleaned_data['auth_email'])
               userPassword = strip_html(form.cleaned_data['auth_password'])
               try:
                person = Auth.objects.get(auth_email=userEmail, auth_password=userPassword)
                request.session['username'] = person.auth_name


    return redirect("/crudapplication/show")
                except:
                    page = 'login.html'
                    message = 'Username doesn\'t exist'

Above is a small code snipet. This is my login functionality.So the value of the user email and password I'm providing is present in my database.

So when I'm printing the line on console by print(request.user) it always gives the value Anonymoususer. The login function is the part of views.py of my login module

Answer 1

You're doing authentication in a very manual way. The problems this can cause are 2:

• Code that doesn't work
• More time invested

The objective of using django that is a framework is not to have to do the work from 0, therefore it uses the tools that django has.

For this case use the django authentication system:

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.0/topics/auth/default/

The above is the official documentation, however to understand how authentication works on a personal level I was more helped by the following tutorial:

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Learn/Server-side/Django/Authentication

Answer 2

def login_user(request):
    print(request.POST)
    username = request.POST['username']
    password = request.POST['password']
    print(username)
    print(password)
    user = authenticate(request, username=username, password=password)
    print(user)
    if user is not None:
        login(request, user)
        return redirect("/crudapplication/show")
        ...
    else:
        # Return an 'invalid login' error message.
        return render(request, 'login.html')

Above is my views.py file and below I'm mentioning my template file.

<form method="post" action="/authLogin/login/">
    {% csrf_token %}
    <table>
      <tr>
        <td>{{ form.username.label_tag }}</td>
        <td>{{ form.username }}</td>
      </tr>
      <tr>
        <td>{{ form.password.label_tag }}</td>
        <td>{{ form.password }}</td>
      </tr>
    </table>
    <input type="submit" value="login" />
    <input type="hidden" name="next" value="{{ next }}" />
  </form>

Everything works fine now..but i just wanted to know the form object that I'm using in my template file how will I pass this objevt from my views.py file?
