Django Ninja JWT Integration

[jonnyhoff]

Django Axes works great when logging in normally but I've implemented Django Ninja JWT and when making REST API requests using the default Django Ninja JWT controller api.register_controllers(NinjaJWTDefaultController), I get the below error.

It's obvious that the authentication method needs to include the request as an argument but I'm unable to find where in Django Ninja JWT's code this needs to be done.

"POST - AsyncNinjaJWTSlidingController[obtain_token] /api/token/pair" ()
Unprocessable Entity: /api/token/pair
Error: 422 - {'detail': [{'loc': ['body', 'user_token', '__root__'], 'msg': 'AxesBackend requires a request as an argument to authenticate', 'type': 'value_error.axesbackendrequestparameterrequired'}]}

Hello, I'm facing the exact same issue, I guess no fix has been submitted yet!

What worked for me is to create a custom authentication backend:

from axes.backends import AxesBackend

class CustomAxesBackend(AxesBackend):
    def authenticate(self, request=None, username=None, password=None, **kwargs):
        if request is None:
            # Create a minimal request object if it's not provided
            class MinimalRequest:
                META = {'REMOTE_ADDR': 'unknown'}
            request = MinimalRequest()

        # Call the original authenticate method
        return super().authenticate(request, username, password, **kwargs)

This approach should help bypass the issue where the AxesBackend requires a request object, allowing your Django Ninja JWT integration to function correctly.
