Hello.

We plan to deprecate and remove the following assorted authentication technologies:

- Symmetric JWTs (replaced by newer Asymmetric JWTs)
- django-oauth2-provider (DOP) related database tables (DOP has already been removed)
- BearerAuthentication (replaced by newer JwtAuthentication)

Please read the following issues for more information and to post any questions/comments.

- Symmetric JWTs: [[DEPR]: Symmetric JWTs · Issue #83 · openedx/public-engineering · GitHub](https://github.com/openedx/public-engineering/issues/83)
- django-oauth2-provider (DOP) related tables: [[DEPR]: django-oauth2-provider (DOP) related tables · Issue #82 · openedx/public-engineering · GitHub](https://github.com/openedx/public-engineering/issues/82)
- BearerAuthentication: [[DEPR]: BearerAuthentication · Issue #284 · openedx/edx-drf-extensions · GitHub](https://github.com/openedx/edx-drf-extensions/issues/284)

The proposed deadline for comments before acceptance is 2022-12-23.

Once the ticket is accepted, removal can happen at any time.

Thank you,  
Robert Raposa
