Superuser Account

A superuser account has already been created for this Django project. You can use the following credentials to access the admin panel:

{
    "username": "aamir",
    "password": "shehzad"
}

To log in as the superuser, run the Django development server:

python manage.py runserver

URLs

• Login URL (POST): http://localhost:8000/login

  • Expects username and password in the request body.

• Authenticated URL (GET): http://localhost:8000/authenticated

  • Requires session_id for authentication. Accessible only to logged-in users.

• Reset Sessions URL (DELETE): http://localhost:8000/reset_sessions

  • For demo, this doesn't require authentication. Deletes all user sessions and logs users out.
