Rather than requiring a dummy backend (which I have seen some people do), use this method to log in a user without requiring their credentials.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 | from django.conf import settings
def login_user(request, user):
"""
Log in a user without requiring credentials (using ``login`` from
``django.contrib.auth``, first finding a matching backend).
"""
from django.contrib.auth import load_backend, login
if not hasattr(user, 'backend'):
for backend in settings.AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS:
if user == load_backend(backend).get_user(user.pk):
user.backend = backend
break
if hasattr(user, 'backend'):
return login(request, user)
