Description (last modified by Aurel)

Hi,
I am writing a custom authentication class. I overwrite:

def authenticate(self, request):

If a user is not authenticated I do:
raise exceptions.AuthenticationFailed(_('Invalid token.'))
I expect that djano returns a 401. But django returns 403 like if I were in has_permission(). But I am in authenticate() for sure. And if in this methoid this exception is raised Django, sholuld return a 401!

My custom auth class inherits from BaseAuthentication:
from rest_framework.authentication import BaseAuthentication
