Replace Django Admin Login page-CodePudding

I need to replace the Django Admin Login page. The reason for that is that I've added some extra authentication at my own login page, however, I don't know how to override the login on the admin site.

CodePudding user response：

Here is the solution. Inside urls.py, add the path to the new login page above your admin URLs like this

path('admin/login/', login_view, name='new_admin_login'),  # login_view is the custom login view
path('admin/', admin.site.urls),

CodePudding user response：

Creating a custom AdminSite is the Django way of doing such things. Specifically, in your case set the AdminSite.login_form

from django.contrib.admin import AdminSite
from django.contrib.auth.forms import AuthenticationForm
from django.urls import path


class CustomAuthenticationForm(AuthenticationForm):
    # override the methods you want
    ...


class CustomAdminSite(AdminSite):
    login_form = CustomAuthenticationForm


admin_site = CustomAdminSite()

urlpatterns = [
    path("admin/", admin_site.urls),
]
