Django REST framework JWT vs FortiAuthenticator

Django REST framework JWT vs FortiAuthenticator: What are the differences?

Developers describe Django REST framework JWT as "JSON Web Token Authentication support for Django REST Framework". 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. On the other hand, FortiAuthenticator is detailed as "Access Management and Single Sign-On". It provides services which are key in creating effective security policy, strengthening security by ensuring only the right person at the right time can access your sensitive networks and data.

Django REST framework JWT and FortiAuthenticator can be categorized as "User Management and Authentication" tools.

Some of the features offered by Django REST framework JWT are:

• JSON Web Token Authentication
• Django REST framework
• Generates authentication tokens

On the other hand, FortiAuthenticator provides the following key features:

• Ability to transparently identify network users and enforce identity-driven policy on a Fortinet-enabled enterprise network
• Seamless secure two-factor/OTP authentication across the organization in conjunction with FortiToken
• Certificate management for enterprise wireless and VPN deployment
