A simple PAM authentication backend for Django. Add the folder dpam
somewhere on your python path and add 'dpam.backends.PAMBackend' to your
settings.py:
AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS = (
...
'dpam.backends.PAMBackend',
...
)
Now you can login via the system-login credentials. If the user is
successfully authenticated but has never logged-in before, a new User
object is created. By default this new User has both is_staff and
is_superuser set to False. You can change this behavior by adding
PAM_IS_STAFF=True and PAM_IS_SUPERUSER in your settings.py file.
If you do not want a User record to be created automatically, use
PAM_CREATE_USER=False in settings.py. This is useful in situations
where you want to use PAM for authentication but not for authorization.
