Django Custom User Admin Login

I'm creating a custom user by extending the AbstractBaseUser class. I have read the Django documentation and several tutorials online and I think that what I've done till now is very basic and should work.

The problem I'm facing is that even if I create a new DB from scratch and do a syncdb, the manage.py console **does not ask me for a admin username and password** (as it usually does). Hence, I cannot access /admin. 

The problem is partially (and wrongly) resolved my using AUTH_PROFILE_MODULE instead of AUTH_USER_MODEL. This however leads to 'Users' and 'MyUser' being showed as different objects on the admin page i.e. MyUser is not set as the default user. (obviously)

**models.py**

    class UserManager(BaseUserManager):

        def create_user(self, username, email, corp, password=None):

            if not (username or email or corp):

                raise ValueError('Users must have an username, email and corporation')

            user = self.model(username=username, email=UserManager.normalize_email(email), corp=corp, )

            user.set_password(password)

            user.is_active = True

            user.save(using=self._db)

            return user

    

        def create_superuser(self, username, email, corp, password):

            user = self.create_user(self, username, email, corp,

                                    password=password, )

            user.is_active = True

            user.is_admin = True

            user.is_staff = True

            user.is_superuser = True

            user.save(using=self._db)

            return user

    

    

    class MyUser(AbstractBaseUser, PermissionsMixin):

        username = models.CharField(max_length=254, unique=True, blank=False)

        first_name = models.CharField(max_length=30, blank=True)

        last_name = models.CharField(max_length=30, blank=True)

        email = models.EmailField(blank=True)

        corp = models.ForeignKey(Client, related_name="is_employee_of")

    

        is_active = models.BooleanField(default=True)

        is_admin = models.BooleanField(default=False)

        is_staff = models.BooleanField(default=False)

    

        def get_full_name(self):

            return self.first_name + " " + self.last_name

    

        def get_short_name(self):

            return self.first_name

    

        def __unicode__(self):

            return self.username + "@" + self.corp.shortName

    

        objects = UserManager()

    

        USERNAME_FIELD = 'username'

        REQUIRED_FIELDS = ['email', 'corp']

**admin.py**

    admin.site.register(Client)

    admin.site.register(Address)

    

    class UserCreationForm(forms.ModelForm):

        password1 = forms.CharField(label='Password', widget=forms.PasswordInput)

        class Meta:

            model = MyUser

            fields = ('username', 'email', 'corp', 'first_name', 'last_name')

    

        def clean_password2(self):

            password1 = self.cleaned_data.get("password1")

            password2 = self.cleaned_data.get("password2")

    

            if password1 and password2 and password1 != password2:

                raise forms.ValidationError("Passwords don't match")

    

            return password2

    

        def save(self, commit=True):

            user = super(UserCreationForm, self).save(commit=False)

            user.set_password(self.cleaned_data["password1"])

            return self.initial["password"]

    

    class MyUserAdmin(UserAdmin):

        form = UserChangeForm

        add_form = UserCreationForm

    

        list_display = ('username', 'email', 'corp', 'first_name', 'last_name', 'is_admin', 'is_staff')

        list_filter = ('is_admin',)

            ('Permissions', {'fields': ('is_admin', 'is_staff')}),

            ('Important Dates', {'fields': ('last_login',)}),

        )

    

        add_fieldsets = (

            (None, {

                'classes': ('wide',),
