# Django protected video

Use Django authentication, admin-managed video mappings and time-limited access grants with the Universal Player.

So wird die Wiedergabe autorisiert

Ihr Backend entscheidet, wer Inhalte ansehen darf. DRM-X stellt die Wiedergabeautorisierung bereit. Damit fordert der Player eine DRM-Lizenz an.

- 01**Zuschauer**

Meldet sich bei Ihrem Dienst an und fordert ein Video an.

- 02**Ihr Backend**

Prüft den Kauf, das Abonnement oder eine andere Zugriffsberechtigung des Nutzers.

- 03**DRM-X**

Wendet die gewählten Wiedergaberegeln an und gibt Konfiguration und Autorisierung zurück.

- 04**Player**

Fordert mit der erhaltenen Autorisierung die für die Wiedergabe benötigte DRM-Lizenz an.

Ihr Backend entscheidet über den Zugriff; DRM-X erzwingt die unterschriebene Richtlinie. Verschlüsselte Medien und DRM Lizenzen folgen getrennten Lieferwegen.

## Install the Django app[#](#install)



Install the django directory from the source bundle into your application environment. Add drmx to INSTALLED_APPS, include drmx.urls, enable Django session and authentication middleware, and run migrations. Keep CsrfViewMiddleware enabled.



```
pip install ./django
python manage.py migrate
# urls.py
path("protected/", include("drmx.urls"))
```

## Configure credentials and content[#](#configure)



Define settings.DRMX using SITE_ID, SITE_KEY, ACCESS_KEY, INSTANCE_ID and optional POLICY. Load secrets from your host environment. INSTANCE_ID is a stable site identifier used to separate playback subjects across applications.



In Django admin, open Protected videos and add a record. The DRM-X 6.0 Universal Player section groups Content ID, content type, protection policy and enabled state, with help for each field. Create an AccessGrant for the authenticated user, including start time and optional expiry. An enabled video alone does not grant access; revoking the grant or disabling the video prevents new playback requests.



Open /protected/VIDEO_ID/ after signing in. The page requests a session from /protected/VIDEO_ID/session/. For an existing course or subscription model, replace can_play with your server-side rule and retain the checks for active users, enabled videos and the exact requested video.





## CSRF and deployment[#](#csrf)



The released Web Component does not support custom session headers. This app places a masked Django CSRF token in the same-origin endpoint URL and explicitly validates it with Django’s normal cookie and origin checks. Do not remove that validation or enable shared caching for player pages.



Keep query strings out of access logs, use HTTPS and secure session cookies, and keep the supplied no-referrer behavior. Six tests cover access lifecycle, CSRF, origin, content binding and server-owned identity/policy on Django 6.0.8. Actual DRM playback still requires your published content.
