django-mcauth (Broken after Minecraft auth re-vamp)
NOTE: It was only a matter of time until it happened, but it finally did. This Django app no longer functions with the latest Minecraft authentication system. I'm leaving it here in case anyone wants to adapt it once more (if this is even possible/acceptable anymore).
django-mcauth is a pluggable authentication back-end that lets your users login with their Minecraft.net user/pass.
Warning
Authentication against Minecraft.net auth servers is not officially endorsed, and may cease to work at any time. Using a fallback authentication backend (like Django's default) will prevent complete failure if Notch ever decides to lock things down. Also keep in mind that if you run a high traffic site, you may be asked to stop hitting the Minecraft.net auth server.
Requirements
- Django 1.2+
- Python 2.6 or 2.7 (I don't care to officially support 2.5)
Installation
Add 'mcauth.backend.MinecraftAuthServerBackend' to your settings.py like
so:
AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS = (
'mcauth.backend.MinecraftAuthServerBackend',
'django.contrib.auth.backends.ModelBackend',
)
If you don't want to create new local Django users when someone logs in with a valid user/pass, but doesn't already exist in the DB, you can do this in settings.py:
# Only existing User objects can be authenticated against. MCAUTH_CREATE_UNKNOWN_USERS = False
