[Fixed]-Separate POST access urls for same resource

I think, what you are looking for is the prepend_url function, see here. You could use it like this:

class AuthenticateUser(Resource)

    class Meta:
        resource_name = "authenticateUser"

    def prepend_urls(self):
        #add the cancel url to the resource urls
        return [
            url(r"^(?P<resource_name>%s)/(?P<pk>\w[\w/-]*)/register%s$" %
                (self._meta.resource_name, trailing_slash()),
                self.wrap_view('register'), name="api_authenticate_register"),
        ]

    def register(self, request, **kwargs):
        # check request
        self.method_check(request, allowed=['post'])
        # handle your request here, register user
        return self.create_response(request,  <some method>)

With this, you could call it like this:

http://localhost:8000/authenticateUser # to authenticate
http://localhost:8000/authenticateUser/register # to register

Another option would be, to just create two resources (on inheriting from the other) and just change the resource_name in the meta class
