django authenticator

[figoyouwei]

Hey,

One of the purpose for tonight's meeting is for me to fully understand the taipy.auth mechanism in great details.

For example, I'd like to load my Django database which could be Postgres with user data and implement a Django authenticator. https://github.com/figoyouwei/taipy_success/blob/main/auths/practice_authenticator.py

So First, what's the key idea behind this? I think the key is tp_enterprise.login() with a custom Authenticator, right?

Second, could you implement one, already? e.g. you set up a Django database in your local machine for testing.

Yeah, please put this on top priority for this week to provide a solution codebase given your client is using Django with Postgres 13.

The basic idea is simple, Django provides by default a function called check_password. from django.contrib.auth.hashers import check_password

What this function does is check the user-input password and return true or false, that's it. So you could provide a workaround solution using check_password, that would be the simplest.

Then I could generalize the solution to work with any checking mechanism, literally just write another check_password function. So that's the idea:)

A typical data would like like this below. users_data.csv

Sorry for the lack of updates; we implemented an authenticator that works with Django and are now working on releasing a specific package for it. It should be done early next week. Sorry for the delay

Hey! I sent you an email with a package that should do this feature
