Authentication¶

Built-in auth views¶

The package ships AdminLTE-themed registration/ templates for Django's built-in auth views, so the full login / logout / password change + reset flow works on the AdminLTE auth card. Wire the URLs:

# urls.py
path("", include("django.contrib.auth.urls")),

Shipped templates: registration/login.html, logged_out.html, password_change_form.html, password_change_done.html, password_reset_form.html, password_reset_done.html, password_reset_confirm.html, password_reset_complete.html, plus the email body/subject. A reusable adminlte/auth/_form.html renders any auth form as Bootstrap 5 field groups.

The adminlte_make_auth management command can scaffold these into your project.

django-allauth¶

Install the [allauth] extra for AdminLTE-themed django-allauth pages. The package overrides allauth's layouts (base / entrance / manage) and elements (fields, field, form, button, alert, h1, h2, p, hr, panel) — so every allauth page (login, signup, password reset, account management) renders on the AdminLTE auth card with Bootstrap 5 fields, with no per-page work.

INSTALLED_APPS = [
    "django_adminlte4",          # before allauth so the template overrides win
    # …
    "allauth", "allauth.account",
]
MIDDLEWARE += ["allauth.account.middleware.AccountMiddleware"]
AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS = [
    "django.contrib.auth.backends.ModelBackend",
    "allauth.account.auth_backends.AuthenticationBackend",
]
# urls.py:  path("accounts/", include("allauth.urls"))

Because the elements are overridden once, the theme applies across allauth's whole surface — no need to copy allauth's content templates.
