master
branch of Django REST framework.I've been looking into adding support for django rest framework in django-oidc-provider.
The two things I'd like to implement are authentication and permissions classes for OAuth 2.0 Bearer authentication (RFC6750).
The Authentication class is straight-forward. I can simply check the token and respond with 401 if it doesn't exist or is invalid. The API also lets me set the correct
WWW-Authenticate
header as per RFC6750#3.However, it's not possible to implement a permissions class to check token scopes which is compatible with RFC6750. Section 3 states (emphasis mine):
This is because the only options for a failing permissions class are to return
False
and get 403, or raise a 404 exception.I'm not sure how the api should be expanded to accommodate this, an equivalent
authenticate_header
method on thePermission
class may be enough, or there may be a better approach.Beta Was this translation helpful? Give feedback.
