I have a custom user model in django here:
class UserManager(BaseUserManager):
def create_User(self, email, name, companyname=None, userphoto=None,
userphotokey=None, signupvalidatestring=None, is_active=False, phone=None, jobtitle=None,
isclient=False, issuitsviewer=False, issuitsadministrator=False, issuitssuperuser=False,
password=None):
if not email:
raise ValueError('Users must have an email address')
if not name:
raise ValueError('Users must have a name')
user = self.model(email = self.normalize_email(email),
name = name,
companyname= companyname,
userphoto= userphoto,
userphotokey=userphotokey,
signupvaildatestring=signupvalidatestring,
is_active=is_active,
phone=phone,
jobtitle=jobtitle,
isclient=isclient,
issuitsviewer = issuitsviewer,
issuitsadministrator=issuitsadministrator,
isuitssuperuser=issuitssuperuser)
if not password:
user.set_unusable_password()
else:
user.set_password(password)
user.is_active = True
user.save(using=self._db)
return user
def create_superuser(self):
pass
# permissions table
class STUser(AbstractBaseUser):
email = models.EmailField(unique=True)
name = models.CharField(max_length=255)
companyname = models.CharField(max_length=200, blank=True, null=True)
userphoto = models.CharField(max_length=200, blank=True, null=True)
userphotokey = models.CharField(max_length=200, blank=True, null=True)
signupvaildatestring = models.CharField(max_length=200, blank=True, null=True)
is_active = models.BooleanField(default=False)
phone = models.CharField(max_length=10, null=True, blank=True)
jobtitle = models.CharField(max_length=100, null=True, blank=True)
isclient = models.BooleanField(default=False)
issuitsviewer = models.BooleanField(default=False)
issuitsadministrator = models.BooleanField(default=False)
issuitssuperuser = models.BooleanField(default=False)
# password field function is provided by AbstractBaseUser
objects = UserManager()
USERNAME_FIELD = 'email'
REQUIRED_FIELDS = ['name']
EMAIL_FIELD = 'email'
class VenuePermissions(models.Model):
user = models.ForeignKey(STUser, on_delete=models.CASCADE)
venue = models.ForeignKey(Venue, on_delete=models.CASCADE, blank=True, null=True)
isvenueviewer = models.BooleanField(default=False)
isvenueeventplanner = models.BooleanField(default=False)
isvenueadministrator = models.BooleanField(default=False)

I have the jwt auth class up:
#REST Framework
REST_FRAMEWORK = {
'DEFAULT_PERMISSION_CLASSES': (
'rest_framework.permissions.IsAuthenticated',
),
'DEFAULT_AUTHENTICATION_CLASSES': (
'rest_framework_jwt.authentication.JSONWebTokenAuthentication',
I have the url endpoint:
from rest_framework_jwt.views import obtain_jwt_token
url(r'^api-token-auth/', obtain_jwt_token),
when I create a user in the shell like this:
>>> from STuser.models import STUser
>>> user = STUser(email='blah@gmail.com',name='Christopher Jakob',password='zaq11qaz')
>>> user.save()
then run a curl post:
curl -X POST -d "email=blah@gmail.com&password=zaq11qaz" http://127.0.0.1:8000/api-token-auth/
and also tried the JSON implementation
curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"email":"blah@gmail.com","password":"zaq11qaz"}' http://127.0.0.1:8000/api-token-auth/
I also tried with wget:
wget --post-data="email=christopher.m.jakob@gmail.com&password=zaq11qaz" http://127.0.0.1:8000/api-token-auth/
I get the following error:
{"non_field_errors":["Unable to log in with provided credentials."]}
"POST /api-token-auth/ HTTP/1.1" 400 68
However the email and the password info I have submitted is what is in the database.
I am not sure what is going on here. I am wondering if it is in my manager? But I would imagine if such where the case the user objects wouldn't get added at all. As you can see I am using a custom user model.
here is the resource I am using:
https://getblimp.github.io/django-rest-framework-jwt/
question that might help me looking into it: Django (using TokenAuthentication): "non_field_errors": "Unable to log in with provided credentials?
this question may also provide help: looking into it. JSON Web Token for Django REST won't authenticate to user database
The relevant code in the package I am using starts on line 22 https://github.com/GetBlimp/django-rest-framework-jwt/blob/master/rest_framework_jwt/serializers.py
Stackoverflow help is hit or miss sometimes.
I got it to work
First. I had to update the code in my custom manager it wasn't correct:
class UserManager(BaseUserManager):
def create_user(self, email, name, password ,**extraarguments):
if not email:
raise ValueError('Users must have an email address')
if not name:
raise ValueError('Users must have a name')
if not password:
raise ValueError('User must have a password')
user = self.model(email = self.normalize_email(email),
name = name, **extraarguments)
user.set_password(password)
user.is_active = True
user.save()
return user
def create_superuser(self, email, name, password, **extraarguments):
if not email:
raise ValueError('Users must have an email address')
if not name:
raise ValueError('Users must have a name')
if not password:
raise ValueError('Users must have a password')
user = self.model(email = self.normalize_email(email),
name = name, **extraarguments)
user.set_password(password)
user.is_active = True
user.save()
return user
then I needed to not just not create an STUser object like I did but calling the create_user function in the manager.
so in the shell
>>>from STuser.models import STUser
>>> user = STUser.objects.create_user('bobby@test.com','chris','zaq11qaz')
>>> exit()
then make a new curl request
curl -X POST -d "email=bobby@test.c
om&password=zaq11qaz" http://127.0.0.1:8000/api-token-auth/
and look what happend...
curl -X POST -d "email=bobby@test.c
om&password=zaq11qaz" http://127.0.0.1:8000/api-token-auth/
{"token":"eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJ1c2VybmFtZSI6ImJvYmJ5QHRlc3QuY29tIiwidXN... you dont get the rest of my token homie"}
soooo thats cool.
Hugs and kisses
