Django-oauth2-provider with custom user model?

I am really stuck with my project right now. I am trying to implement Oauth2 for my application. I learned a lot about django-oauth2-provider and tried it. The only problem is that it uses the User model in django.contrib.auth. The primary users of our site are saved in a custom User model, which does not inherit or extend the model to django.contrib.auth.

Can I use my custom model to create clients and token?

If django-oauth2-provider cannot be used for this purpose, can anyone recommend me some oauth2 library with the ability to implement oauth2 with my own model.

Respectfully,

As in the previous answer, you have to expand AbstractUser

from django.contrib.auth.models

.

The issue with the access token that the OP is accessing occurs when the parameter is changed AUTH_USER_MODEL

AFTER django-oauth2-provider

.

When migrated, django-oauth2-provider

it creates a key constraint between the user model and django-oauth2-provider.



The solution is very simple:

  • Create a new user model and change the setting AUTH_USER_MODEL

    .
  • Go to a table django_migration

    in your database.
  • Delete all lines django-oauth2-provider

    .
  • run python manage.py makemigrations

  • run python manage.py migrate

The tables are now django-oauth2-provider

connected to the RIGHT User model.

django-oauth2-provider retrieves the user model using settings.AUTH_USER_MODEL

, with a fallback toauth.User

. If you extend AbstractUser

, your user model will include all fields auth.User

plus any additional fields you specify.

from django.contrib.auth.models import AbstractUser
from django.db import models

class User(AbstractUser):
    some_additional_field = models.BooleanField(default=False)

Specify the user model to be used as follows settings.py

::



AUTH_USER_MODEL = 'user_api.User'

If you don't want your user to be on AbstractUser

, you will also need to write your own custom manager, for example. by expandingBaseUserManager
