Quickstart
----------
Install ``djactasauth``::
pip install djactasauth
Add it to your auth backends in ``settings``::
import djactasauth
AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS = (
...,
'djactasauth.backends.OnlySuperuserCanActAsBackend',
...,
)
Configure the custom login view to take advantage of all the features
in your ``urls.py``::
from django.conf.urls import patterns, url
from djactasauth.views import PrefillLoginView
from testapp.views import whoami
urlpatterns = patterns(
'',
url(r'^login/$', PrefillLoginView.as_view(), {}, 'login'),
)
Then you can log in with username ``your_superuser_name/customer`` and password
``yourpassword``.
