urlpatterns += patterns('',
        (r'^janrain/', include('janrain.urls')),
)

INSTALLED_APPS = (
        'django.contrib.admin',
        'django.contrib.auth',
        'django.contrib.contenttypes',
        'django.contrib.sessions',
        'janrain',
)

# put janrain.backends.JanrainBackend first
AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS = (
        'janrain.backends.JanrainBackend',
        'django.contrib.auth.backends.ModelBackend',
)

Usage

Configure your token_url in janrain to be http://yoursite.com/janrain/login/

Create a template called janrain/loginpage.html to contain your janrain login iframe:

<iframe src="http://yoursite-test.rpxnow.com/openid/embed?token_url=http{% if request.is_secure %}s{%endif %}://{{ request.META.HTTP_HOST }}/janrain/login/?next=/"
        scrolling="no" frameBorder="no" allowtransparency="true" style="width:400px; height:240px;">
</iframe>

Place your javascript overlay sign in buttons in your template:

<a class="rpxnow"
   onclick="return false;"
   href="https://yoursite.rpxnow.com/openid/v2/signin?token_url=http{% if request.is_secure %}s{%endif %}://{{ request.META.HTTP_HOST }}/janrain/login/?next=/">
