need example for multiple auth for resource

[ydjango]

I believe Django-Piston directly support multiple authentication
methods for a resource.

Any examples on how to use it?

I need to support basic and my own authentication method.

I can easily roll out my own but if piston already supports it I would
prefer using its.

Piston has a Basic authentication method with
piston.authentication.HttpBasicAuthentication look at
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3297125/basic-http-authentication-with-django-piston

But you can define your own class, with two methods: challenge and
is_authenticated, look the class HttpBasicAuthentication at
https://bitbucket.org/jespern/django-piston/src/c4b2d21db51a/piston/authentication.py#cl-26

A different examplo could be the code in
https://github.com/jorgeecardona/django-apikey/blob/master/apikey/auth.py
and there is a way to authenticate request by a temporal token, with
the is_authenticated and challenge methods defined.

Everything is explained here:

Thank you Jorge. That is very useful and I will create my own auth
method based on examples given.

I also wanted to allow users to use any one of the multiple auth
methods to access same api. Thats multiple ways auth for same
resource.

I will just create a simple delegator auth class which will tie to the
resource. This delegator auth class will check the header and call the
appropriate basicAuth or tokenAuth based on the header in the request
and authenticate the user.
