    text
    copied!<p>I am in a situation where I need to make a custom authentication and custom middleware to authenticate and authorize the user. I have to chek the username password params in the POST request or if the cookie is set or not for token based authentication. Now, as I know that function overloading is not allowed in python, how could I achieve it. I am putting the code below for custom auth and custom middleware.</p> <p>Custom Middleware:</p> <pre><code>from django.contrib.auth import authenticate class AuthMiddleWare(object): def process_request(self, request): if request.path != '/favicon.ico': print "inside process_request " + request.path if request.method == 'POST' and request.POST.has_key('username' ) and request.POST.has_key('password'): authenticate(username = request.POST.get('username'),password = request.POST.get('password')) if 'SPRING_SECURITY_REMEMBER_ME_COOKIE' in request.COOKIES: authenticate(token = request.COOKIES.get('SPRING_SECURITY_REMEMBER_ME_COOKIE')) return None </code></pre> <p>And the custom auth backend :</p> <pre><code>from core.api import NcpAPI class CustomNCPAuthBackend(object): """ This is custom authentication backend. Authenticate against the webservices call. The method below would override authenticate() of django.contrib.auth """ def authenticate(self, username = None, password = None): print "inside authenticate of username and password with username being : "+username return None def authenticate(self,token=None): print "inside authenticate of token with token being : "+token return None </code></pre> <p>The problem is even when I am checking for username and password in post request it calls the token one as token is there, but how could I force it somehow? </p> <p>I tried deleting the cookie and trying again but still it doesn't fire up the authentication function with username and password as params. </p> <p>What could be solution for this please?</p>
