It's in the AuthenticationMiddleware.

The official doc mentioned it:

link:

AuthenticationMiddleware associates users with requests using sessions.

link:

class AuthenticationMiddleware

Adds the user attribute, representing the currently-logged-in user, to every incoming HttpRequest object. See Authentication in Web requests.

source code(django.contrib.auth.middleware.py):

class AuthenticationMiddleware(object):
    def process_request(self, request):
        assert hasattr(request, 'session'), "The Django authentication middleware requires session middleware to be installed. Edit your MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES setting to insert 'django.contrib.sessions.middleware.SessionMiddleware'."

        request.user = SimpleLazyObject(lambda: get_user(request))

Make sure you're using RequestContext. Otherwise user is not available in the templates.
