Django Rest Framework Library to use Auth0 authentication

djangorestframework-auth0

---

This library let you to authenticate an specific user on DRF based on the JWT Token returned by Auth0 Javascript libraries.

Installation

1. Using pip install the library cloning the repository with following command:

pip install rest_framework_auth0

Quick start

1. Make sure "django.contrib.auth in on INSTALLED_APPS setting, otherwise add it by your own:

INSTALLED_APPS = [
    ...
    'django.contrib.auth',
    ...
]

This will allow us to login as an specific user as well as auto-creating users when they don't exist

1. Add "rest_framework_auth0" to your INSTALLED_APPS after rest_framework_jwt setting like this:

INSTALLED_APPS = [
    ...,
    'rest_framework_jwt',
    'rest_framework_auth0',
]

2. Add Auth0JSONWebTokenAuthentication in your DEFAULT_AUTHENTICATION_CLASSES located at settings.py from your project:

REST_FRAMEWORK = {
    ...,
    'DEFAULT_AUTHENTICATION_CLASSES': (
        ...,
        'rest_framework_auth0.authentication.Auth0JSONWebTokenAuthentication',
    ),
}

3. Add your AUTH0_CLIENT_SECRET and AUTH0_CLIENT_ID in your settings.py file -must be the same secret and id than the frontend App-:

AUTH0 = {
  'CLIENTS': {
      'default': {
          'AUTH0_CLIENT_ID': '<YOUR_AUTH0_CLIENT_ID>',  #make sure it's the same string that aud attribute in your payload provides
          'AUTH0_CLIENT_SECRET': '<YOUR_AUTH0_CLIENT_SECRET>',
          'CLIENT_SECRET_BASE64_ENCODED': True,  # default to True, if you're Auth0 user since December, maybe you should set it to False
          'AUTH0_ALGORITHM': 'HS256',
      }
  },
  'JWT_AUTH_HEADER_PREFIX': 'JWT',  # default prefix used by djangorestframework_jwt
  'AUTHORIZATION_EXTENSION': False,  # default to False
  'USERNAME_FIELD': 'sub',  # default username field in auth0 token scope to use as token user
}

4. Add the Authorization Header to all of your REST API request, prefixing JWT to your token:

Authorization: JWT <AUTH0_GIVEN_TOKEN>

5. Use the decorator @token_required in all views you want to protect (not_ready_yet)

6. That's it

NOTE: In order to get the token authentication, the 'django.contrib.auth' app models migrations must be applied(python manage.py migrate).

Multiple Clients - Multiples App - One API

If you wanna to use multiple Auth0 App and/or Clients -for example if you're creating an open API, you can add as much as you want in the AUTH0.CLIENTS settings parameter

AUTH0 = {
  'CLIENTS': {
      'default': {
          'AUTH0_CLIENT_ID': '<YOUR_AUTH0_CLIENT_ID>',  #make sure it's the same string that aud attribute in your payload provides
          'AUTH0_CLIENT_SECRET': '<YOUR_AUTH0_CLIENT_SECRET>',
          'CLIENT_SECRET_BASE64_ENCODED': True,  # default to True, if you're Auth0 user since December, maybe you should set it to False
      }
      'web': {
          'AUTH0_CLIENT_ID': '<YOUR_AUTH0_CLIENT_ID>',  #make sure it's the same string that aud attribute in your payload provides
          'AUTH0_CLIENT_SECRET': '<YOUR_AUTH0_CLIENT_SECRET>',
          'CLIENT_SECRET_BASE64_ENCODED': True,  # default to True, if you're Auth0 user since December, maybe you should set it to False
      }
      'mobile': {
          'AUTH0_CLIENT_ID': '<YOUR_AUTH0_CLIENT_ID>',  #make sure it's the same string that aud attribute in your payload provides
          'AUTH0_CLIENT_SECRET': '<YOUR_AUTH0_CLIENT_SECRET>',
          'CLIENT_SECRET_BASE64_ENCODED': True,  # default to True, if you're Auth0 user since December, maybe you should set it to False
      }
  },
  ...
}

In order to select one of them when the authentication is needed -a POST request, for example- you need to add a header called Client-Code -by default, but you can customize it-. The names of the clients are case sensitive.
