Please clarify your specific problem or provide additional details to highlight exactly what you need. As it's currently written, it's hard to tell exactly what you're asking. — Community, Feb 15 '23 at 14:30

In authenticate function, django call authenticate on your AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS in settings.py.

ModelBackend is a default authentication backend that has been provided by Django, and if you are using it, it checks if user is acive or not. It's sth like this:

def user_can_authenticate(self, user):
    """
    Reject users with is_active=False. Custom user models that don't have
    that attribute are allowed.
    """
    is_active = getattr(user, 'is_active', None)
    return is_active or is_active is None
