I’m looking to migrate users of a rails app which uses the Restful Authentication module (which uses a stretched sha1 encryption algorithm) to a Django app, using the default authentication framework (which uses a plain sha1 algorithm). Does anybody know how I can make this happen? specifically, can I somehow implement the same encrytion algorithm in Django? Thanks for your help.
Yes, you should be able to create your own backend. I’ve done this to create an ‘e-mail instead of username’ and a ‘ignore case’ backends.
See “Writing authentication backends“.
