Authentication credentials were not provided django-rest-auth

Question

I have an application which I implemented django restframework and django reat-auth and jango framework jwt. I followed the instructions and every thing works fine in the browser. I now decided to test out the connection in postman and trying to get the logged in user's details which the endpoint is /rest-auth/user but i get the following error

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

and I decided to copy the returned Token and put it in the header of the user url as

"Authorization": "Token ahagjbeghq7hbcvgqhvwqu08hevug.jwhhwiiwhw",
"Content-Type": "application/json; charset=utf-8"

after modifying the header with the returned token I expected it to display the user's details but instead I still got

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

but I can verify that the token is correct through the url provided by the restframework jwt

/api-token-verify which retuns the token value back. this is my django rest authentication classes

REST_FRAMEWORK = {
    'DEFAULT_AUTHENTICATION_CLASSES': (
        'rest_framework_jwt.authentication.JSONWebTokenAuthentication',
        'rest_framework.authentication.TokenAuthentication',
        'rest_framework.authentication.BasicAuthentication',

    ),
    'DEFAULT_PERMISSION_CLASSES': (
        'rest_framework.permissions.AllowAny',
        'rest_framework.permissions.IsAuthenticatedOrReadOnly',

    ),

}

You should use JWT instead of Token inside Authorization header for jwt token:

"Authorization: JWT <your_token>"
