django restframework token Authentication fail with "invalid token"

Question

I have a problem with token authentication. I run my django app with django built in server.

$python manage.py runserver

My App's urls.py

from rest_framework_jwt.views import obtain_jwt_token
from .views import LectureCreateView

urlpatterns = [
    ...
    url(r'^api/user_auth/$', obtain_jwt_token),
    url(r'^api/lecture/create/$', LectureCreateView.as_view()),
]

My App's models.py

from rest_framework.authentication import TokenAuthentication
from rest_framework.permissions import IsAuthenticated

class LectureStartView(APIView):
    permission_classes = (IsAuthenticated,)
    authentication_classes = (TokenAuthentication,)

    def post(self, request):
        ...

and settings.py

...
INSTALLED_APPS = [
...

    # Rest framework
    'rest_framework',
    'rest_framework.authtoken',


    'myApp',
]
...


REST_FRAMEWORK = {
    # other settings...

    'DEFAULT_AUTHENTICATION_CLASSES': [
        'rest_framework.authentication.TokenAuthentication',
    ],
    'DEFAULT_PERMISSION_CLASSES': [
        'rest_framework.permissions.IsAuthenticated',
    ],
}

I want auth with token. I successfully issued token.

POST '...api/user_auth/' { "username": "test", "password": "blahbalh123" }

{
      "token":"eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJ1c2VybmFtZSI6IjIwMTMyMzA2Iiwib3JpZ19pYXQiOjE1MDk5NzA5NjcsInVzZXJfaWQiOjMsImVtYWlsIjoiaW50ZXJydXBpbmdAbmF2ZXIuY29tIiwiZXhwIjoxNTA5OTcxNTY3fQ.acwqAP4sBPZWYPC0GfgL3AZarNz4Opb_5P4RewZJYrI"
}

but I fail Auth with Token

Request:

POST ...api/lecture/create/ HTTP/1.1
Host: 127.0.0.1:8000
Authorization: Token eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJ1c2VybmFtZSI6IjIwMTMyMzA2Iiwib3JpZ19pYXQiOjE1MDk5NzA5NjcsInVzZXJfaWQiOjMsImVtYWlsIjoiaW50ZXJydXBpbmdAbmF2ZXIuY29tIiwiZXhwIjoxNTA5OTcxNTY3fQ.acwqAP4sBPZWYPC0GfgL3AZarNz4Opb_5P4RewZJYrI

I think you are mixing the Tokens from django-rest-framework and REST framework JWT.

In the DJR documentations says:

from rest_framework.authtoken import views
urlpatterns += [
    url(r'^api-token-auth/', views.obtain_auth_token)
]

You should replace your code with:

from rest_framework.authtoken import views
from .views import LectureCreateView

urlpatterns = [
    ...
    url(r'^api/user_auth/$', views.obtain_auth_token),
    url(r'^api/lecture/create/$', LectureCreateView.as_view()),
]

I hope it can help you.
