Simple Atlasian CROWD authentication backend for Django with SSO support

Configuration:

Put a CROWD configuration in your settings.py:

CROWD = {
    'url': 'http://your.crowd.url:port/crowd/rest',         # your CROWD rest API url
    'app_name': 'your-registered-crowd-application-name',   # appname, registered with CROWD
    'password': 'application-password',                     # correct password for provided appname
    'superuser': True,                                      # if set makes CROWD-authorized users superusers;
    'staffuser': True,                                      # BE CAREFUL WITH THIS PARAMETER!
    'validation':'10.11.40.34',                             # The ipaddress the Crowd server is responding to 
}

Add crowd.CrowdBackend in your AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS settings list. Put it first so that password are only kept in CROWD:

AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS = (
    # ...
    'crowd.backends.CrowdBackend'
    'django.contrib.auth.backends.ModelBackend',
)

Add 'crowd.middleware.CookieMiddleware' to the Middleware

AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS list to make sure you always start with crowd authentication before falling over to a local account.
