I upgraded an app I had on Django 1.4.5 to Django 1.5 and just finished migrating over to a custom User model. When I login to my app, using my own authentication form, with my superuser credentials (created when doing manage.py syncdb
) everything works fine.
I am able to get authenticated and if I go to /admin
, I am already logged in, as expected. I am able to navigate and use the Admin panel perfectly. However, if I try to login to the admin panel from /admin
, using the django admin login form, I get the error:
Please enter the correct email and password for a staff account. Note that both fields may be case-sensitive.
I did some investigating and thought it could have something to do with ModelAdmin
, so I followed this example from the docs and created a custom ModelAdmin
. However, the problem still persists.
Any ideas what could be causing this?
Did you add following lines in to your create_superuser
function which is under BaseUserManager
? It might look like this:
class CustomUserManager(BaseUserManager):
def create_user(self, username, email, password=None):
if not username:
raise ValueError('Dude you need a username.')
if not email:
raise ValueError(
'type an e-mail..')
new_user = self.model(
username=username,
email=CustomUserManager.normalize_email(email))
new_user.set_password(password)
new_user.save(using=self._db)
return new_user
def create_superuser(self, username, email, password):
new = self.create_user(
username,
email,
password=password
)
new.is_active = True
new.is_staff = True
new.is_superuser = True
new.save(using=self._db)
return new
Focus on:
new.is_active = True
new.is_staff = True
new.is_superuser = True
