AuthAlreadyAssociated Exception in Django Social Auth

Question

After I create a user using say Facebook(let\'s say fbuser) or Google(googleuser). If I create another user through the normal django admin(normaluser), and try logging aga

Answer 1

My approach to this problem was a little different, instead of tackling this in the pipeline, I made sure that a user was never passed into the pipeline in the first place. This way, even if the social_auth.user does not match the logged in user, the social_auth.user will be logged in on top of the currently logged in user.

I think it's as easy as overriding the complete action.

urls.py

url(r'^complete/(?P[^/]+)/$', 'account.views.complete', name='complete'),

account/views.py

from social.actions import do_complete
from social.apps.django_app.utils import strategy
from social.apps.django_app.views import _do_login

@csrf_exempt
@strategy('social:complete')
def complete(request, backend, *args, **kwargs):
    """Override this method so we can force user to be logged out."""
    return do_complete(request.social_strategy, _do_login, user=None,
                       redirect_name=REDIRECT_FIELD_NAME, *args, **kwargs)
