class lino.core.auth.middleware.RemoteUserMiddleware(get_response)¶

Bases: MiddlewareMixin

Middleware for utilizing Web-server-provided authentication.

If request.user is not authenticated, then this middleware attempts to authenticate the username passed in the REMOTE_USER request header. If authentication is successful, the user is automatically logged in to persist the user in the session.

The header used is configurable and defaults to REMOTE_USER. Subclass this class and change the header attribute if you need to use a different header.

clean_username(username, request)¶: Allows the backend to clean the username, if the backend defines a clean_username method.
