Is there is possible to build user authentication in a Django REST API project using MongoDB Atlas App Services (formerly known as Realm) for authentication

Hello Community;
For the past few day I try to connect Atlas App service authentication in Django Rest Api is there is possible to connect with that. If possible can you explain me and give that article and tutorial also.

Hi @Dhanushpathi_Prakash - welcome to the MongoDB community forums!

Can you provide some more details of what you’re trying to do? Do you have a Django Rest Framework app that you’d like to secure with Atlas App service authentication? Also, can you give me an idea of what you’ve attempted so far that hasn’t worked?

Hopefully I can point you in the right direction

Mark

Hi @Dhanushpathi_Prakash,

Just following up on this thread, for your use case we recommend you try using a self managed solution for authentication.

Since you are building a Django app with MongoDB, I have an exciting news to share with you. We are currently building a MongoDB+Django integration and it’s beta version is scheduled to be released around September 22, 2024.

If you would like to join our beta-test user group, please drop me an email on my firstname.lastname@mongodb.com and I will share more details with you.

Thanks,
Shubham
