reviewboard.accounts.backends.standard¶

Standard authentication backend.

class StandardAuthBackend[source]¶

Bases: reviewboard.accounts.backends.base.BaseAuthBackend, django.contrib.auth.backends.ModelBackend

Authenticate users against the local database.

This will authenticate a user against their entry in the database, if the user has a local password stored. This is the default form of authentication in Review Board.

This backend also handles permission checking for users on LocalSites. In Django, this is the responsibility of at least one auth backend in the list of configured backends.

Regardless of the specific type of authentication chosen for the installation, StandardAuthBackend will always be provided in the list of configured backends. Because of this, it will always be able to handle authentication against locally added users and handle LocalSite-based permissions for all configurations.
