Re: Test client to a redirect requiring a login doesn't set redirect_chain properly? [2nd follow-up]

Hi,

As of django 1.7, the admin will redirect to a separate login page (whatever url reverse('admin:login') returns).

https://github.com/django/django/commit/be0ad62994a340ad54a0b328771931932a45a899

You could use a middleware to do an earlier, more straightforward require login.

A careful reading of [1] suggests that the admin provides its own
login page via the login_template setting: "Path to a custom template
that will be used by the admin site login view."  It apparently
renders this at the URL of the destination page rather than
redirecting to the regular (contrib.auth or some named auth-URL) and
providing a "next={{original_url}}"

Is there any way to get the admin to just use the contrib.auth login
page that I already have in place?
