django authentication without a password

Question

I\'m using the default authentication system with django, but I\'ve added on an OpenID library, where I can authenticate users via OpenID. What I\'d like to do is log them

Answer 1

You can easily fix this by creating your own authentication backend and adding it to the AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS setting.

There are some OpenID backends available already, so with a bit of searching you could save yourself the trouble of writing one.
