Link between backend token and user? about django-rest-framework-social-oauth2 HOT 6 CLOSED

It isn't a rest framework token but a oauth2_provider AccessToken.

from django-rest-framework-social-oauth2.

I fail to understand whether there is any built-in way to return a token or a session ID to the client after having logged in.

I don't understand what you're trying to do here.
If you're meaning receiving the token for the first time, it is covered in the readme.

curl -X POST -d "client_id=<client_id>&client_secret=<client_secret>&grant_type=password&username=<user_name>&password=" http://localhost:8000/auth/token

If that is unclear for you, I suggest you read a bit more on the oauth2 process.

I already have an access token (got it from the conversion of the third-party token).
I'm now trying to link the access token to the matching user in the User table (django.contrib.auth.models).

I'm referring to this excerpt from the readme:
You should use this token on each and further communications between your system/application and your api to authenticate each request and avoid authenticating with FB every time.

Simply use the authentication classes provided and the user will be automatically loaded in request.user

Thank you, that worked with the authentication class from oauth2_provider.ext.rest_framework import OAuth2Authentication.
