Calling a custom middleware after Authentication Middleware
up vote 2 down vote favorite In django REST framework authentication middleware sets the user object in request ONLY after the views middleware is executed while any custom middleware is executed before that. is there someway to change this order and execute custom middleware AFTER user object is set by authentication middleware As an alternative I create the user object in the middleware itself and it works fine but this is just a hack. The middlewares as defined in common.py are: MIDDLEWARE = [ 'corsheaders.middleware.CorsMiddleware', 'django.middleware.security.SecurityMiddleware', 'django.contrib.sessions.middleware.SessionMiddleware', 'django.middleware.common.CommonMiddleware', 'django.middleware.csrf.CsrfViewMiddleware', 'django.contrib.auth.middleware.AuthenticationMiddleware', 'django.contrib.messages.middleware.MessageMiddleware', 'django.middleware.clickjacking.XFrameOptionsMiddleware', ...
