class authentication_service.backends.GirlEffectAuthBackend

Bases: django.contrib.auth.backends.ModelBackend

user_can_authenticate(user)

The default ModelBackend checks if a user is active here and returns to the authenticate() method. This however causes the authentication to fail and thus show the ‘invalid_login’ message, instead of the ‘inactive’ message that would otherwise be shown. So we override the method to always return True and allow the is_active flag to be checked on the AuthenticationForm, and to allow the AuthenticationForm to set the ‘inactive’ error message that would otherwise never be reached.
