    <p>Do check out Oli's links. You basically see the authenticated username as verified by Basic HTTP Authentication in Django by looking at request.META['REMOTE_USER'].</p> <p><strong>Update:</strong> Tested the proposed patch for ticket <a href="http://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/689" rel="noreferrer">#689</a>, which is available up-to-date in telenieko's git repository <a href="http://www.marcfargas.com/gitweb/?p=django.git;a=commitdiff_plain;h=trac/689-remote-user;hp=master" rel="noreferrer">here</a>. It applies cleanly at least on revision <a href="http://code.djangoproject.com/browser/django/trunk?rev=9084" rel="noreferrer">9084</a> of Django.</p> <p>Activate the remote user authentication backend by</p> <ul> <li>adding the <code>RemoteUserAuthMiddleware</code> after <code>AuthenticationMiddleware</code></li> <li>adding the setting <code>AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS = ('django.contrib.auth.backends.RemoteUserAuthBackend',)</code></li> </ul> <p>If you use lighttpd and FastCGI like I do, activate mod_auth, create credentials for a test user (I called it <code>testuser</code> and set <code>123</code> as the password) and configure the Django site to require basic authentication.</p> <p>The following <code>urls.py</code> can be used to test the setup:</p> <pre><code>from django.conf.urls.defaults import * from django.http import HttpResponse from django.contrib.auth.models import User urlpatterns = patterns('', url(regex='^$', view=lambda request: HttpResponse(repr(request), 'text/plain')), url(regex='^user/$', view=lambda request: HttpResponse(repr(request.user), 'text/plain')), url(regex='^users/$', view=lambda request: HttpResponse( ','.join(u.username for u in User.objects.all()), 'text/plain')), ) </code></pre> <p>After reloading lighty and the Django FCGI server, loading the root of the site now asks for authentication and accepts the <code>testuser</code> credentials, and then outputs a dump of the request object. In request.META these new properties should be present:</p> <pre><code>'AUTH_TYPE': 'Basic' 'HTTP_AUTHORIZATION': 'Basic dGVzdHVzZXI6MTIz' 'REMOTE_USER': 'testuser' </code></pre> <p>The <code>/user/</code> URL can be used to check that you're indeed logged in as <code>testuser</code>:</p> <pre><code>&lt;User: testuser&gt; </code></pre> <p>And the <code>/users/</code> URL now lists the automatically added <code>testuser</code> (here the <code>admin</code> user I had created when doing <code>syncdb</code> is also shown):</p> <pre><code>admin,testuser </code></pre> <p>If you don't want to patch Django, it's trivial to detach the <code>RemoteUserAuthBackend</code> and <code>RemoteUserAuthMiddleware</code> classes into a separate module and refer to that in the Django settings.</p>

    1. COThanks for this. In the end I did what you suggested and put the RemoteUserAuthBackend and RemoteUserAuthMiddleware classes in to my own module which I referenced in settings.py and it worked a treat.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
