    <p>I'm trying to make a website that only University of Waterloo students can use. It uses CAS for authentication. I started using the <a href="http://code.google.com/p/django-cas/" rel="nofollow">django_cas</a> package. Followed the steps pretty much dead on. Here are the things I tested for:</p> <p>redirected to CAS login page - pass</p> <p>verify user on the CAS server - pass </p> <p>redirect back to website - fail</p> <p>(UPDATE: adding code to clarify) SOLUTION:</p> <p>It seems I had the CAS_SERVER_URL wrong. The protocol is https instead of http for my school's CAS server</p> <p>cas_django needs little configuration:</p> <pre><code>## in settings.py CAS_SERVER_URL = 'http://cas-dev.uwaterloo.ca/cas/' LOGIN_URL = '/accounts/login/' MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES = ( 'django.middleware.common.CommonMiddleware', 'django.contrib.sessions.middleware.SessionMiddleware', 'django.middleware.csrf.CsrfViewMiddleware', 'django.contrib.auth.middleware.AuthenticationMiddleware', 'django.contrib.messages.middleware.MessageMiddleware', 'django_cas.middleware.CASMiddleware', ) AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS = ( 'django.contrib.auth.backends.ModelBackend', 'django_cas.backends.CASBackend', ) ## in urls.py (r'^accounts/login/$', 'django_cas.views.login'), (r'^accounts/logout/$', 'django_cas.views.logout'), ## in views.py @login_required def sample(request): return render_to_response('sample.html') </code></pre> <p>I got a 404 instead:</p> <p>The requested URL /cas/login/http://uwnetwork.shaon.ca/accounts/login/?next=%2Fsample%2F was not found on this server.</p> <p>Anybody know why it would fail to redirect? </p>

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.
