No handler was ready to authenticate.

Hi, I installed successfully using the README instructions but on accessing the page got this error: No handler was ready to authenticate. 1 handlers were checked. ['HmacAuthV1Handler'] Check your credentials

I am new to Django and don't know how to edit the secret_settings.py file.

Question, can you check your fly_project/settings.py and scroll down until you see:

AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS = (
    'social.backends.facebook.FacebookOAuth2',    # Custom
    'social.backends.google.GoogleOAuth2',        # Custom
    'social.backends.twitter.TwitterOAuth',       # Custom
    'django.contrib.auth.backends.ModelBackend',  # Custom
)

I think your problem is because fly-django is using python-social-auth library and these "social" backends are causing it. Can you comment them and see if it fixes your problem? You should probably see

AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS = (
    #'social.backends.facebook.FacebookOAuth2',    # Custom
    #'social.backends.google.GoogleOAuth2',        # Custom
    #'social.backends.twitter.TwitterOAuth',       # Custom
    'django.contrib.auth.backends.ModelBackend',   # Custom
)

Thanks for your patients and sorry my suggestion doesn't work. I'll have some time next week to go through and see what the problem is and fix it.

For now, can you try going to settings.py and go comment out the following:

TEMPLATES = [
    {
        'BACKEND': 'django.template.backends.django.DjangoTemplates',
        'DIRS': [],
        'APP_DIRS': True,
        'OPTIONS': {
            'context_processors': [
                'django.template.context_processors.debug',
                'django.template.context_processors.request',
                'django.template.context_processors.i18n',
                'django.contrib.auth.context_processors.auth',
                'django.contrib.messages.context_processors.messages',
                'fly_project.context_processors.app_constants',             # Custom
                # 'social.apps.django_app.context_processors.backends',       # Third Party
                #'social.apps.django_app.context_processors.login_redirect', # Third Party
            ],
        },
    },
]

You might need to comment out the auth-backend as well.

AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS = (
    #'social.backends.facebook.FacebookOAuth2',    # Custom
    #'social.backends.google.GoogleOAuth2',        # Custom
    #'social.backends.twitter.TwitterOAuth',       # Custom
    'django.contrib.auth.backends.ModelBackend',   # Custom
)

Let me know if this helps. Also, can you provide more details as well (if the problem persists).
