Make longer access tokens with django_oauth_toolkit

Question

I have set up the OAuth 2.0 authentication in a Django Rest Framework project with the django_oauth_toolkit library. But I have noticed the access_token length is quite short. How can I make these tokens larger? I mean, increase the number of characters each token has.

I have been searching for a setting to do this, but I haven't found anything. I have read all the available settings in the OAUTH2_PROVIDER settings documentation but found nothing.

Answer 1

I finally fixed it by copying the method to create tokens from Github changing the parameter length in a separate file and in settings.py:

OAUTH2_PROVIDER = {

    # this is the list of available scopes
    'SCOPES': {'read': 'Read scope',
               'write': 'Write scope',
               'groups': 'Access to your groups',
               'custom': 'Scope de prueba',
               'introspection': 'Permiso para ver información de usuario de un token'},
    'ACCESS_TOKEN_EXPIRE_SECONDS': 604800,
    'ACCESS_TOKEN_GENERATOR': 'api.custom_oauth2_token_generator.custom_generate_token'

}
