django-crowd

Simple Attlasian CROWD authentication backend for Django

Installation

pip install django-crowd

Also, to install development version you can try this:

pip install git+git://github.com/gbezyuk/django-crowd.git

Or this:

pip install -e git+git://github.com/gbezyuk/django-crowd.git#egg=Django-Crowd

You could also simply copy this repository crowd folder to your project.

Configuration:

Put a CROWD configuration in your settings.py:

CROWD = {

'url': 'http://your.crowd.url:port/crowd/rest',         # your CROWD rest API url

'app_name': 'your-registered-crowd-application-name',   # appname, registered with CROWD

'password': 'application-password',                     # correct password for provided appname

'superuser': True,                                      # if set makes CROWD-authorized users superusers;
                                                        # BE CAREFUL WITH THIS PARAMETER!

}

Also add 'crowd.CrowdBackend' in your AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS settings list. Better to put it last for minimal collision risk:

AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS = (

# ...

'django.contrib.auth.backends.ModelBackend',

'crowd.backends.CrowdBackend'

)
