This is currently work in progress. I am looking to introduce two new classes, to be used as authentication classes for DRF. The aim of this is to allow a backend service which communicates with a frontend, to verify that the OIDC tokens it receives from the frontend are valid for this service.
As the service I have been using this code with has no concept of user, I am not sure what is the best way of incorporating this concept. Currently, if a request is authenticated, the token payload (whether ID token or the introspection result for access token) is added on
request.user.token
.I am looking on feedback on whether this is moving to a reasonable direction. Also please keep in mind I am very short on time, thus this is currently moving very slowly.
