Authenticate to Jupyterhub using a query parameter for the JSONWebToken, or by an authenticating proxy that can set the Authorization header with the content of a JSONWebToken.
This package can be installed with pip:
pip install jupyterhub-jwtauthenticator
Alternately, you can clone this repository and run:
cd jwtauthenticator
pip install -e .
You should edit your :file:jupyterhub_config.py
to set the authenticator class, the JSONWebTokenLocalAuthenticator provides features such as local user creation. If you already have local users then you may use the JSONWebTokenAuthenticator authenticator class:
c.JupyterHub.authenticator_class = 'jwtauthenticator.jwtauthenticator.JSONWebTokenLocalAuthenticator'
This class is derived from LocalAuthenticator and therefore provides features such as the ability to add local accounts through the admin interface if configured to do so.
c.JupyterHub.authenticator_class = 'jwtauthenticator.jwtauthenticator.JSONWebTokenAuthenticator'
You'll also need to set some configuration options including the location of the signing certificate (in PEM format), field containing the userPrincipalName or sAMAccountName/username, and the expected audience of the JSONWebToken. This last part is optional, if you set audience to an empty string then the authenticator will skip the validation of that field.
# one of "secret" or "signing_certificate" must be given. If both, then "secret" will be the signing method used.
c.JSONWebTokenAuthenticator.secret = '<insert-256-bit-secret-key-here>' # The secrect key used to generate the given token
# -OR-
c.JSONWebTokenAuthenticator.signing_certificate = '/foo/bar/adfs-signature.crt' # The certificate used to sign the incoming JSONWebToken, must be in PEM Format
c.JSONWebTokenAuthenticator.username_claim_field = 'upn' # The claim field contianing the username/sAMAccountNAme/userPrincipalName
c.JSONWebTokenAuthenticator.audience = 'https://myApp.domain.local/' # This config option should match the aud field of the JSONWebToken, empty string to disable the validation of this field.
#c.JSONWebLocalTokenAuthenticator.create_system_users = True # This will enable local user creation upon authentication, requires JSONWebTokenLocalAuthenticator
#c.JSONWebTokenAuthenticator.header_name = 'Authorization' # default value
You should be able to start jupyterhub. :)
