Authelia

This package provides JSON Web Token Authentication support for Django REST framework. Unlike some more typical uses of JWTs, this module only generates authentication tokens that will verify the user who is requesting one of your DRF protected API resources.

It is an open-source authentication and authorization server providing 2-factor authentication and single sign-on (SSO) for your applications via a web portal. It acts as a companion of reverse proxies like nginx, Traefik or HAProxy to let them know whether queries should pass through. Unauthenticated users are redirected to Authelia Sign-in portal instead.

JSON Web Token Authentication ; Django REST framework; Generates authentication tokens
Several second factor methods; Password reset with identity verification using email confirmation; Single-factor only authentication method available; Access restriction after too many authentication attempts; Fine-grained access control per subdomain, user, resource and network; Support of basic authentication for endpoints protected by single factor; Beta support for OpenID Connect; Highly available using a remote database and Redis as a highly available KV store; Compatible with Kubernetes ingress-nginx controller out of the box
