Access request.session from backend.get_user

You can use the tiny ThreadLocalMiddleware. It makes the request object everywhere available.

from django_tools.middlewares import ThreadLocalrequest = ThreadLocal.get_current_request()# request.session <-- is now available

Do not forget to add the middleware into the MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES tuple of your settings.py:

MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES = (    ...    'django_tools.middlewares.ThreadLocal.ThreadLocalMiddleware',    ...)

django authentication session request

The RemoteUserBackend (from django.contrib.auth.backends) uses special middleware, RemoteUserMiddleware, to access request data. Maybe you could do it this way, too.

django authentication session request

You can also pass a 'request' parameter to the authenticate function any time you call it:

def authenticate(self, request, **kwargs):    ....
