The "request" attribute is not available in openstack_auth.backend.KeystoneBackend.get_user when session data is restored and it's the first request to happen after a server restart. As stated by the function document, the "request" attribute needs to be monkey-patched by openstack_auth.utils.patch_middleware_get_user for this function to work properly. This should happen in openstack_auth.urls at import time. But there is nowhere in Horizon where this module is imported at startup. It's only introspected by openstack_dashboard.urls due to AUTHENTICATION_URLS setting. Without this monkey-patching, the whole authentication mechanism falls back to "AnonymousUser" and you will get redirected to the login page due to horizon.exceptions.NotAuthenticated being raised by horizon.decorators.require_auth as request.user.is_authenticated will be False. But if a user requests a page under auth/, it will have the side-effect of monkey-patching django.contrib.auth.middleware as expected. This means that once this request is completed, all following requests to pages other than the ones under auth/ will have there sessions properly restored and you will be properly authenticated. Therefore this change introduces a dummy middleware which sole purpose is to perform this monkey-patching as early as possible. There is also some cleanup to get rid of the previous attempts at monkeypatching. Closes-bug: #1764622 Change-Id: Ib9912090a87b716e7f5710f6f360b0df168ec2e3
Horizon (OpenStack Dashboard)
Horizon is a Django-based project aimed at providing a complete
OpenStack Dashboard along with an extensible framework for building new

a Django site that uses the horizon app to provide
web-based interactions with the various OpenStack projects.
