Hi Sherif. Horizon uses a separate plug-in for authentication that you can find on GitHub: https://github.com/gabrielhurley/django_openstack_auth/ . The code you're looking for probably is in the authenticate() method at openstack_auth/backend.py.

https://github.com/gabrielhurley/django_openstack_auth/blob/master/openstack_auth/backend.py#L56

Hope this helps,

Julie
