I want dump data of django.contrib.auth app.

I've tried:
```
>> python manage.py dumpdata django.contrib.auth > 'django.contrib.admin.json'
Error: Unknown application: django.contrib.auth
>> python manage.py dumpdata 'django.contrib.auth' > 'django.contrib.admin.json'
Error: Unknown application: django.contrib.auth
```
