Description

If you configure according to https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.7/howto/auth-remote-user/#authentication-using-remote-user you disable all local users.
This should be mentioned explicitly.
You will still be able to use commands like eg manage.py createsuperuser but they won't give any effect.

I decided to give this a go, and created a pull request thing at: https://github.com/django/django/pull/4210

Sorry if I'm doing something wrong with this process, this is my first time contributing.
