Django Rest Framework Djoser - saving JWT tokens in httpOnly cookies

243 views Asked by At

Hey I'm looking for the correct way to implement saving JWT tokens in httpOnly cookies using JWT

I'm not sure if thing I did is right.

Changed Default authentication class in setting.py and added cookies settings

REST_FRAMEWORK = {
    "DEFAULT_AUTHENTICATION_CLASSES": (
        "authorization.authentication.JWTCookiesAuthentication",
    ),
}

SIMPLE_JWT = {
...
"AUTH_COOKIE": "access_token",  # Cookie name. Enables cookies if value is set.
    "AUTH_COOKIE_DOMAIN": None,  # A string like "example.com", or None for standard domain cookie.
    "AUTH_COOKIE_SECURE": False,  # Whether the auth cookies should be secure (https:// only).
    "AUTH_COOKIE_HTTP_ONLY": True,  # Http only cookie flag.It's not fetch by javascript.
    "AUTH_COOKIE_PATH": "/",  # The path of the auth cookie.
    "AUTH_COOKIE_SAMESITE": "Lax",
}

Created custom authentication backend in authentication.py

class JWTCookiesAuthentication(JWTAuthentication):
    def authenticate(self, request):
        header = self.get_header(request)

        if header is None:
            raw_token = request.COOKIES.get(settings.SIMPLE_JWT['AUTH_COOKIE']) or None
        else:
            raw_token = self.get_raw_token(header)
        if raw_token is None:
            return None

        validated_token = self.get_validated_token(raw_token)
        return self.get_user(validated_token), validated_token

and added cookies in response in my view

class EmailTokenObtainPairView(TokenViewBase):
    serializer_class = CustomTokenObtainPairSerializer

    def post(self, request, *args, **kwargs):
        serializer = self.get_serializer(data=request.data)
        try:
            serializer.is_valid(raise_exception=True)
        except AuthenticationFailed:
            raise InActiveUser()
        except TokenError:
            raise InvalidToken()

        response = Response(serializer.validated_data, status=status.HTTP_200_OK)
        response.set_cookie(
            key=settings.SIMPLE_JWT["AUTH_COOKIE"],
            value=serializer.validated_data["access"],
            expires=settings.SIMPLE_JWT["ACCESS_TOKEN_LIFETIME"],
            secure=settings.SIMPLE_JWT["AUTH_COOKIE_SECURE"],
            httponly=settings.SIMPLE_JWT["AUTH_COOKIE_HTTP_ONLY"],
            samesite=settings.SIMPLE_JWT["AUTH_COOKIE_SAMESITE"],
        )

        return response

But what about refresh token and will that handle requests? Will it use cookies while sending request? Also what about using my custom backend in drf-spectacular?

Thank you.
