djangodrupalauthbackend 1.0.3

This package provides an authentication backend that can be used to
facilitate migrating users from a Drupal-based website into a
Django-based web application.

Quick start
Install django_drupal_auth_backend:
$ pip install django_drupal_auth_backend
In your settings module you will need to add the new hasher to :
PASSWORD_HASHERS = (
'django.contrib.auth.hashers.PBKDF2PasswordHasher',
'django.contrib.auth.hashers.PBKDF2SHA1PasswordHasher',
'django.contrib.auth.hashers.BCryptPasswordHasher',
'django.contrib.auth.hashers.SHA1PasswordHasher',
'django.contrib.auth.hashers.MD5PasswordHasher',
'django.contrib.auth.hashers.CryptPasswordHasher',
'django_drupal_auth_backend.hashers.DrupalPasswordHasher',
)

Migrating users
You will need to create a user entry for each user of the old system.
While this will vary from application to application (depending on
whether you override the default user model provided by Django), the
basic step is to copy your user table into Django’s user table. If you
are using Postgres, you can copy the users in with something like this:
COPY INTO auth_user (username, password, email, is_active, is_staff) FROM STDIN;
user1 drupal_sha512$FYEWxwlWtUUj8uB5QN2K0X9lNrnRl/hLpN3Qp8GK7v8emyc9eRsf user1@example.com t f
user2 drupal_sha512$CsaltsaltA112iY375iFdNhp.gYEWxwlWtXdhjl.8hY7BufRTJ1u user2@example.com t f
\.
The most important thing to note with migrated accounts is that the
hashed password being migrated needs to be modified slightly. Drupal
passwords are of the form:
$S$CsaltsaltA112iY375iFdNhp.gYEWxwlWtXdhjl.8hY7BufRTJ1u
… whereas the migrated passwords need to be of the form:
drupal_sha512$CsaltsaltA112iY375iFdNhp.gYEWxwlWtXdhjl.8hY7BufRTJ1u
The important distinction is that the S at the start of the hash
needs to be converted to drupal_sha512$ for the Django
authentication backend subsystem to be able to recognize it and assign
it to the DrupalPasswordHasher. Note that the example table copy
command above is using passwords of the right form.
