Django Rest Framework - Authentication credentials

问题:

I'm developing an API using Django Rest Framework. I'm trying to list or create an "Order" object, but when i'm trying to access the console gives me this error:

{"detail": "Authentication credentials were not provided."}

Views:

from django.shortcuts import render
from rest_framework import viewsets
from django.contrib.auth.models import User
from rest_framework.renderers import JSONRenderer, YAMLRenderer
from rest_framework.response import Response
from rest_framework.views import APIView
from order.models import *
from API.serializers import *
from rest_framework.permissions import IsAuthenticated

class OrderViewSet(viewsets.ModelViewSet):
    model = Order
    serializer_class = OrderSerializer
    permission_classes = (IsAuthenticated,)

Serializer:

class OrderSerializer(serializers.HyperlinkedModelSerializer):

    class Meta:
        model = Order
        fields = ('field1', 'field2')

And my URLs:

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
from django.conf.urls import patterns, include, url
from django.conf import settings
from django.contrib import admin
from django.utils.functional import curry
from django.views.defaults import *
from rest_framework import routers
from API.views import *

admin.autodiscover()

handler500 = "web.views.server_error"
handler404 = "web.views.page_not_found_error"

router = routers.DefaultRouter()
router.register(r'orders', OrdersViewSet)

urlpatterns = patterns('',
    url(r'^api-auth/', include('rest_framework.urls', namespace='rest_framework')),
    url(r'^api-token-auth/', 'rest_framework.authtoken.views.obtain_auth_token'),
    url(r'^api/', include(router.urls)),
)

And then I'm using this command in the console:

curl -X GET http://127.0.0.1:8000/api/orders/ -H 'Authorization: Token 12383dcb52d627eabd39e7e88501e96a2sadc55'

And the error say:

{"detail": "Authentication credentials were not provided."}

回答1:

If you are runnig Django on Apache using mod_wsgi you have to add

WSGIPassAuthorization On

in your httpd.conf. Otherwise authorization header will be stripped out by mod_wsgi.

Solved by adding "DEFAULT_AUTHENTICATION_CLASSES" to my settings.py

REST_FRAMEWORK = {
   'DEFAULT_AUTHENTICATION_CLASSES': (
       'rest_framework.authentication.TokenAuthentication',
   ),
   'DEFAULT_PERMISSION_CLASSES': (
        'rest_framework.permissions.IsAdminUser'
   ),
}

This help me out without "DEFAULT_PERMISSION_CLASSES" in my settings.py

REST_FRAMEWORK = {
    'DEFAULT_AUTHENTICATION_CLASSES': (
        'rest_framework.authentication.TokenAuthentication',
        'rest_framework.authentication.SessionAuthentication',
    ),
    'PAGE_SIZE': 10
}

Just for other people landing up here with same error, this issue can arise if your request.user is AnonymousUser and not the right user who is actually authorized to access the URL. You can see that by printing value of request.user . If it is indeed an anonymous user, these steps might help:

1. Make sure you have 'rest_framework.authtoken' in INSTALLED_APPS in your settings.py.

2. Make sure you have this somewhere in settings.py:

   REST_FRAMEWORK = {
   
       'DEFAULT_AUTHENTICATION_CLASSES': (
           'rest_framework.authentication.TokenAuthentication',
           # ...
       ),
   
       # ...
   }
   

3. Make sure you have the correct token for the user who is logged in. If you do not have the token, learn how to get it here. Basically, you need to do a POST request to a view which gives you the token if you provide the correct username and password. Example:

   curl -X POST -d "user=Pepe&password=aaaa"  http://localhost:8000/
   

4. Make sure the view which you are trying to access, has these:

   class some_fancy_example_view(ModelViewSet): 
   """
   not compulsary it has to be 'ModelViewSet' this can be anything like APIview etc, depending on your requirements.
   """
       permission_classes = (IsAuthenticated,) 
       authentication_classes = (TokenAuthentication,) 
       # ...
   

5. Use curl now this way:

   curl -X (your_request_method) -H  "Authorization: Token <your_token>" <your_url>
   

Example:

    curl -X GET http://127.0.0.1:8001/expenses/  -H "Authorization: Token 9463b437afdd3f34b8ec66acda4b192a815a15a8"

If you are playing around in the command line (using curl, or HTTPie etc) you can use BasicAuthentication to test/user your API

    REST_FRAMEWORK = {
        'DEFAULT_PERMISSION_CLASSES': [
            'rest_framework.permissions.IsAuthenticated',
        ],
        'DEFAULT_AUTHENTICATION_CLASSES': (
            'rest_framework.authentication.BasicAuthentication',  # enables simple command line authentication
            'rest_framework.authentication.SessionAuthentication',
            'rest_framework.authentication.TokenAuthentication',
        )
    }

You can then use curl

curl --user user:password -X POST http://example.com/path/ --data "some_field=some data"

or httpie (its easier on the eyes):

http -a user:password POST http://example.com/path/ some_field="some data"

or something else like Advanced Rest Client (ARC)

回答6:

Adding SessionAuthentication in settings.py will do the job

REST_FRAMEWORK = { 'DEFAULT_AUTHENTICATION_CLASSES': ( 'rest_framework.authentication.SessionAuthentication', ), }

回答7:

I too faced the same since I missed adding

authentication_classes = (TokenAuthentication)

in my API view class.

class ServiceList(generics.ListCreateAPIView):
    authentication_classes = (SessionAuthentication, BasicAuthentication, TokenAuthentication)
    queryset = Service.objects.all()
    serializer_class = ServiceSerializer
    permission_classes = (IsAdminOrReadOnly,)

In addition to the above, we need to explicitly tell Django about the Authentication in settings.py file.

REST_FRAMEWORK = {
   'DEFAULT_AUTHENTICATION_CLASSES': (
   'rest_framework.authentication.TokenAuthentication',
   )
}
