- Authentication backends
- =======================
- .. module:: django.contrib.auth.backends
- :synopsis: Django's built-in authentication backend classes.
- This document details the authentication backends that come with Django. For
- information on how to use them and how to write your own authentication
- backends, see the :ref:`Other authentication sources section
- <authentication-backends>` of the :doc:`User authentication guide
- </topics/auth>`.
- Available authentication backends
- =================================
- The following backends are available in :mod:`django.contrib.auth.backends`:
- .. class:: ModelBackend
- This is the default authentication backend used by Django. It
- authenticates using usernames and passwords stored in the
- :class:`~django.contrib.auth.models.User` model.
- .. class:: RemoteUserBackend
- Use this backend to take advantage of external-to-Django-handled
- authentication. It authenticates using usernames passed in
- :attr:`request.META['REMOTE_USER'] <django.http.HttpRequest.META>`. See
- the :doc:`Authenticating against REMOTE_USER </howto/auth-remote-user>`
- documentation.
