django-user-proxy 1.1

A django app model user proxy

AuthProxyApp is a Django app containing a single User Proxy model, which is shared between multiple Django instances.

The purpose of this Proxy model is to access a single shared “Users” database between Django applications, with no explicit foreign relations.

It currently operates with a modified User implementation featuring a UUID as a PK, you can easily implement this by creating your own AbstractUser implementation, and storing all users and permissions in a single “Users” database.

Quick start

1. Add “auth_proxy” to your INSTALLED_APPS setting like this:

   INSTALLED_APPS = [
       ...
       'auth_proxy',
   ]

2. Run python manage.py migrate to create the auth_proxy model.

3. If you wish to use the included Middlewares, include them:

   MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES = (
       ...
       'auth_proxy.middleware.GenerateUserProxy',
       'auth_proxy.middleware.AddUserProxyToRequest'
   )

GenerateUserProxy will create the UserProxy on user login, and AddUserProxyToRequest will add the UserProxy to the request, where it can be obtained like this: request.user_proxy.

TODO

• REST endpoints to manage UserProxy instances

• Erase UserProxy instances when Users are deleted
