In my case I use Django and Tastypie. The whole thing works fine for non
authenticated users and I would like to provide content for my
registered users too.

Would the best practice be to use Django login form to authenticate the
user and then use Django authentication type (instead of api/key )with
tastypie to access the content for registered users I am after?

Thank you
