|
|||
|
||||
**Note:** If you use `TokenAuthentication` in production you must ensure that your API is only available over `https` only.
|
||||
|
||||
When using TokenAuthentication, it may be useful to add a login view for clients to retrieve the token.
|
||||
|
||||
REST framework provides a built-in login view. To use it, add a pattern to include the token login view for clients as follows:
|
||||
|
||||
urlpatterns += patterns('',
|
||||
url(r'^api-token-auth/', include('rest_framework.authtoken.urls',
|
||||
namespace='rest_framework'))
|
||||
)
|
||||
|
||||
The `r'^api-token-auth/'` part of pattern can actually be whatever URL you want to use. The only restriction is that the included urls must use the `'rest_framework'` namespace.
|
||||
|
||||
The authtoken login view will render a JSON response when a valid `username` and `password` fields are POST'ed to the view using forms or JSON:
|
||||
|
||||
{ 'token' : '9944b09199c62bcf9418ad846dd0e4bbdfc6ee4b' }
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## OAuthAuthentication
|
||||
|
||||
This policy uses the [OAuth 2.0][oauth] protocol to authenticate requests. OAuth is appropriate for server-server setups, such as when you want to allow a third-party service to access your API on a user's behalf.
