[Django]-Create a custom authentication

by

✅

Following the advice of @MrName I managed to solve my issue.

So I deleted DEFAULT_AUTHENTICATION_CLASSES in my settings and added this:

 REST_AUTH_SERIALIZERS = {
    'LOGIN_SERIALIZER': 'users.auth.LoginSerializer'
 }

Then I copy pasted the original serializer and modified the function _validate_email with:

def _validate_email(self, email, password):
    user = None

    if email and password:
        user = self.authenticate(email=email, password=password)

        # TODO: REMOVE ONCE ALL USERS HAVE BEEN TRANSFERED TO THE NEW SYSTEM
        if user is None:
            password_hashed = hashlib.md5(password.encode())
            password_hashed = hashlib.sha256(password_hashed.hexdigest().encode())
            try:
                user = User.objects.get(email=email, password=password_hashed.hexdigest())
            except ObjectDoesNotExist:
                user = None
    else:
        msg = _('Must include "email" and "password".')
        raise exceptions.ValidationError(msg)

    return user
