Description
When i try to log in to live_server with a browser, i get this:
OperationalError at /login/
database table is locked: auth_user
Request Method: POST
Request URL: http://localhost:8081/login/
do we keep transaction opened somewhere?

Research direction
Start by reproducing the POST to /login/ through live_server and investigate why the auth_user table remains locked during the request. The issue is resolved when the login completes without the database-lock error and the transaction handling no longer leaves the table locked.
