How to authenticate against Django’s user database from ApacheLink to this heading#

Autentykacja z mod_wsgiLink to this heading#

Make sure that mod_wsgi is installed and activated and that you have followed the steps to set up Apache with mod_wsgi.

Next, edit your Apache configuration to add a location that you want only authenticated users to be able to view:

WSGIScriptAlias / /path/to/mysite.com/mysite/wsgi.py
WSGIPythonPath /path/to/mysite.com

WSGIProcessGroup %{GLOBAL}
WSGIApplicationGroup %{GLOBAL}

<Location "/secret">
    AuthType Basic
    AuthName "Top Secret"
    Require valid-user
    AuthBasicProvider wsgi
    WSGIAuthUserScript /path/to/mysite.com/mysite/wsgi.py
</Location>

The WSGIAuthUserScript directive tells mod_wsgi to execute the check_password function in specified wsgi script, passing the user name and password that it receives from the prompt. In this example, the WSGIAuthUserScript is the same as the WSGIScriptAlias that defines your application that is created by django-admin startproject.

Finally, edit your WSGI script mysite.wsgi to tie Apache’s authentication to your site’s authentication mechanisms by importing the check_password function:

import os

os.environ["DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE"] = "mysite.settings"

from django.contrib.auth.handlers.modwsgi import check_password

from django.core.handlers.wsgi import WSGIHandler

application = WSGIHandler()

Requests beginning with /secret/ will now require a user to authenticate.

The mod_wsgi access control mechanisms documentation provides additional details and information about alternative methods of authentication.

WSGIScriptAlias / /path/to/mysite.com/mysite/wsgi.py

WSGIProcessGroup %{GLOBAL}
WSGIApplicationGroup %{GLOBAL}

<Location "/secret">
    AuthType Basic
    AuthName "Top Secret"
    AuthBasicProvider wsgi
    WSGIAuthUserScript /path/to/mysite.com/mysite/wsgi.py
    WSGIAuthGroupScript /path/to/mysite.com/mysite/wsgi.py
    Require group secret-agents
    Require valid-user
</Location>

from django.contrib.auth.handlers.modwsgi import check_password, groups_for_user
