I'm using python-social-auth in my Django application for authentication via Facebook. But when a user tries to login, they have been redirected to the Facebook app page, and they click on the "Cancel" button, the following exception appears:

ERROR 2014-01-03 15:32:15,308 base :: Internal Server Error: /complete/facebook/

AuthCanceled: Authentication process canceled

Is the any way to catch it Django?

python-social-auth is a newer, derived version of django-social-auth.

AlexYar's answer can be slightly modified to work with python-social-auth by modify settings.py with following changes:

  1. Add a middleware to handle the SocialAuthException

    MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES += (
        'social.apps.django_app.middleware.SocialAuthExceptionMiddleware',
    )
    
  2. URL to redirect to, when an exception occurred

    SOCIAL_AUTH_LOGIN_ERROR_URL = '/'
    
  3. Note that you also need to set

    DEBUG = False
    

That's all or read http://python-social-auth.readthedocs.org/en/latest/configuration/django.html#exceptions-middleware
