How to setup Windows Active Directory with PostgreSQL GSSAPI Kerberos Authentication

The first step in setting up a Windows Active Directory is to create a regular user account. The password can be anything but shouldn’t expire and it needs to be unique in the environment. In this instance, we’ll use pg1postgres.

Once the user account exists, we have to create a mapping between that user account and the service principal and create a keytab file. These steps can be combined using the Windows ktpass command, like so:

django-allauth

Integrated set of Django applications addressing authentication, registration, account management as well as 3rd party (social) account authentication

.. Most existing Django apps that address the problem of social authentication focus on just that. You typically need to integrate another app in order to support authentication via a local account.

This approach separates the worlds of local and social authentication. However, there are common scenarios to be dealt with in both worlds. For example, an e-mail address passed along by an OpenID provider is not guaranteed to be verified. So, before hooking an OpenID account up to a local account the e-mail address must be verified. So, e-mail verification needs to be present in both worlds.

djoser: REST implementation of Django authentication system.

REST implementation of Django authentication system. Djoser library provides a set of Django Rest Framework views to handle basic actions such as registration, login, logout, password reset and account activation. It works withcustom user model.

Instead of reusing Django code (e.g. PasswordResetForm), we reimplemented few things to fit better into Single Page App architecture.
