Re: Django REST Authenticate with Session in external app

Hello there!

Although you COULD use Session Authentication to authenticate users from external clients. I don't recommend it. It's going to be a pain. Instead what I recommend is using either Token Authentication or OAuth2 Authentication. They both allow you to authenticate from any client through the API rather than trying to authenticate through the Django view.

I'd be interested in hearing how Session Authentication is working for you and if you need help don't hesitate to ask questions about Token Authentication or OAuth2 Authentication.

Hi guys,

I'm a doubt about Django REST auth and an external app's (mobile, desktop).

When we work with django in browser we have a session auth. To use session it's possible using django rest with an external app created in C sharp ? Or need to work with tokens in external app consulting my Django API REST ?

Thank's a lot.
