How to override authentication that is implicitly called in django-rest-framework?

Answer 1

The essence of the question is not entirely clear, but I'll try. To override authentication in DRF, you need to create a new class for your authentication that will inherit from BaseAuthentication. Next, you should override the authenticate method in it, which will return a tuple from (user, auth) or None in case of a fail.
