Django request session cannot read the django-session table

Question

I have two simple views, one is log in and the other one is just checking the session. I added user_id into the request.session and it did create a new entry in the django_session table. But when I try to get the request session in a new request. It returns an empty one.

Answer 1

Django already has an authentication system, and it uses sessions by default, this tutorial will guide you through it

If you want to use your own authentication backend docs
