.. note::
|

|

This is a low level way to authenticate a set of credentials; for
|
||||
example, it's used by the
|
||||
:class:`~django.contrib.auth.middleware.RemoteUserMiddleware`. Unless
|
||||
you are writing your own authentication system, you probably won't use
|
||||
this. Rather if you are looking for a way to limit access to logged in
|
||||
users, see the :func:`~django.contrib.auth.decorators.login_required`
|
||||
decorator.
