django-oauth-toolkit 'invalid client' error after deploy on AWS Elasticbeanstalk

Question

I use django-oauth-toolkit with my django/django-rest-framework application. When I request an access token in dev mode on localhost, it works OK:

dev@devComp:$ curl -X POST -d "grant_type=password&username=
<user_name>&password=<password>" -u"<client_id>:<client_secret>" 
http://localhost:8000/o/token/
{"access_token": "fFySxhVjOroIJkD0IuEXr5WIhwdXg6", "expires_in": 
36000, "token_type": "Bearer", "scope": "read write groups", 
"refresh_token": "14vhyaCZbdLtu7sq8gTcFpm3ro9YxH"}

But if I request an access token from absolutely the same application deployed at AWS Elasticbeanstalk, I get 'invalid client' error:

dev@devComp:$ curl -X POST -d "grant_type=password&username=
<user_name>&password=<password>" -u"<client_id>:<client_secret>" 
http://my-eb-prefix.us-west-1.elasticbeanstalk.com/o/token/
{"error": "invalid_client"}

Please advise me what to do to get rid of this error and normally request access tokens from django app deployed at AWS.

I'm not sure if it's relevant but is my-eb-prefix.us-west-1.elasticbeanstalk.com in your ALLOWED_HOSTS? — Dan Loewenherz

After some research, I can now give the answer myself:

I had to add one more command to my python.config in .ebextensions folder:

...
container_commands:
  ...    
  03wsgipass:
    command: 'echo "WSGIPassAuthorization On" >> ../wsgi.conf'

After that, AWS allows incoming requests to pass authorization, and I get the response without an error.

I was also facing the same problem. This worked for me:

curl -X POST -d "grant_type=password&username=<your-username>&password=<your-password>&client_id=<your-client id>&client_secret=<your-client secret>" http://your-domain/o/token/
{"access_token": "0BVfgujhdglxC7OHFh0we7gprlfr1Xk", "scope": "read write", "token_type": "Bearer", "expires_in": 36000, "refresh_token": "AwffMPzNXvghlkjhs8dpXk7gbhhjhljlldfE2nI"}
