General question regarding authentication and authorization for HTTP requests between front- and backend










0














This might be an easy question:



I tried setting up a very simple webapp with Angular 7 and Django, writing some Python methods to handle data and visualizing results in Angular frontend. As my requests failed with unauthorisized I started to read about Authentication and Authorization for HTTP requests but the more I read the more I'm drifting away from the big picture.



So my wquestions are:



  1. Can I enable an user to make HTTP requests to the backend without
    and login?

  2. Would it be possible to secure these requests?

  3. When I only allow users to to HTTP requests after any login, how do I do
    the first registration?

  4. Is the correct way: 1) user logs in 2) an
    authorization token is provided 3) the token is parsed to every
    request the user does after login ?

Thanks for helping me understanding the basic idea behind this!
