django-auth-anywhere

django-auth-anywhere is a Django application which enables using Django Rest Framework authentication backends throughout your Django application. This can be useful to secure non-API endpoints behind token authentication using JSON web tokens.

Requirements

This has only been tested with:

• Python: 3.5
• Django: 1.8, 1.9, 1.10

Setup

Install from pip:

pip install django-auth-anywhere

and then add it to your installed apps:

INSTALLED_APPS = (
    ...
    'auth_anywhere',
    ...
)

You will also need to add a middleware class to listen in on responses:

MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES = [
    ...
    'auth_anywhere.middleware.AuthenticationMiddleware',
    'django.middleware.common.CommonMiddleware',
    ...
]
