`shim_student_view` is used for login, and is being simplified so it can ulimately be completely deleted. In this commit, the shim preprocessing was removed by deleting unused code, and moving code that is still being used to login_user. Note: `shim_student_view` was originally added in https://github.com/edx/edx-platform/pull/5768/files ARCH-1253
Status: Maintenance Responsibilities ================ The ``user_authn`` app contains user authentication related features such as login and registration. Direction: Extract ================== Ideally this would be in its own service, but at this point, LMS is the home of all authentication related features. At this time, these features are still plugged into Studio. Future clean-up in Studio is intended to make this an LMS only feature. Glossary ======== More Documentation ==================
