Shouldn't there be a check on self.request.user.is_authenticated before returning?

I'm not sure. In our case we have a second middleware together with a second authentication backend. So each middleware is only checking the accounts that belong to it's backend. But checking self.request.user.is_authenticated here is probably equally valid.

Same as for in the middleware - shouldn't there be a check on self.request.user.is_authenticated before returning?
