When you add a Django User through the admin, it presents you with a initial screen to enter a username and password (/admin/auth/user/add/), and then handles hashing for you.
Also, when you go to edit a User, it gives you a Change Password form (e.g. /admin/auth/user/2/password/)
I'm using a custom user model in my Django app, by inheriting from AbstractCustomer.
If I add this to the admin now, password is just a standard textbox, and obviously if I create a user through that, I can't login since I assume it's not hashing the password.
Is there any way I can use the normal Django User admin forms with a custom User model?
Secondly, I tried creating a user via the create_user() method on my custom User object - I still wasn't able to login to the admin using that username/password, which I thought was weird.
Cheers,
Victor
