[FIXED] How to get the plane password of Django admin user in pre_save signal when creating user from admin panel?

Issue

I need to log Django admin users in 3ed party authentication service. For that I need plane password without hashing. Here I used pre_save signal. That approach works well when I create an API endpoint for registration. But when I create an admin user from Django it always comes with defalut hashed password.

Any idea how to get the plane password?

Solution

You have to access the request object to get that data.

You can use @hooks.register('before_create_user') to register a method to run before creating the user and get the password using password=request.POST['password1']. Keep in mind that, this hook runs when form loaded and also when form submitted. To get the password, you need to run this only when form submitted.

@hooks.register('before_create_user')
def before_create(request: 'HttpRequest') -> 'HttpResponse':
    if request.method != 'POST': 
        return    # Ignore execution when form loads
    body = request.POST
    form = get_user_creation_form()(body, request.FILES)    # Get the associated form
    if not form.is_valid():
        return     # If the form submission is invalid, return
    password=body['password1']    # Get raw password
