Django - Default Authentication Allowany is not working-CodePudding

Here I am using django with default authentication. My authentication class in settings.py is

REST_FRAMEWORK = {
    'DEFAULT_AUTHENTICATION_CLASSES': [
        'rest_framework.authentication.TokenAuthentication',
    ],
    'DEFAULT_PERMISSION_CLASSES': [
            'rest_framework.permissions.IsAuthenticated',
        ],
}

I set it as a default authentication

but for some API, I don't need Authentication at that time I use allow any but it is not working it required Token like

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

My code for POST method is

class EnquiryCrudPost(APIView):
    def post(self, request):
        UserData = request.data
        authentication_classes = (TokenAuthentication)
        permission_classes = (AllowAny)
        if UserData:
            try:
                NewUserData = Enquiry.objects.create()
                ..........

Thank you

CodePudding user response：

The authentication_classes and permission_classes should be defined as class attributes, not within your method. Also, it should be list or tuple

class EnquiryCrudPost(APIView):
    authentication_classes = (TokenAuthentication,) # you were missing a comma
    permission_classes = (AllowAny,)# you were missing a comma

    def post(self, request):
        ...

In this particular case, the authentication_classes is not really matter since you wish to use the AllowAny

CodePudding user response：

permission_classes should be either list or tuple.

    authentication_classes = (TokenAuthentication, )
    permission_classes = (AllowAny, )
