Django: Rest Framework authenticate header

Using Django REST API, I\'m trying to authenticate my request.

For those who are on AWS elastic beanstalk and you are kind of stuck with apache and unless you have

WSGIPassAuthorization On

As mentioned by @Fiver your headers get stripped

Instead of manually fixing this and making a new image, I made a script that checks if the last line of the conf file is WSGIPassAuthorization On and if it is not we update it and restart the server

In my Django app I have a config folder with my sh file

configs/server/update-apache.sh

if [[ $(tac /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf | egrep -m 1 .) == $(echo 'WSGIPassAuthorization On') ]];
  then
     echo "Httpd.conf has already been updated"
  else
     echo "Updating Httpd.conf.."
     echo 'WSGIPassAuthorization On' >> /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
     service httpd restart
fi

Make it excecutable before I commit it to git

chmod +x configs/server/update-apache.sh

Then in my python.config file I add the command at the end

.ebextensions/python.config

container_commands:
    01_migrate:
        command: "python manage.py migrate"
        leader_only: true
    02_collectstatic:
        command: "python manage.py collectstatic --noinput"
    03_change_perm:
        command: "chown -R wsgi:root static"
    03_update_apache:
        command: "sh configs/server/update-apache.sh"

Now any new machine that starts up will have a check done to see if the server is updated and does so if need be
