Dash Okta OAuth2

Dash Okta Auth is a simple library using Okta OAuth2 to authenticate and view a Dash app.

This Library uses Flask Dance and a modified version of Plotly's own dash auth for authentication.

This Library is heavily inspired by dash-google-oauth created by Lucas Chapin and forked from dash-okta-auth created by Frank Spijkerman.

I decided to deploy to pip after I received no response to this issue.

Basic Use

Authentication can be added to your Dash application using the OktaOAuth class, i.e.

from dash import Dash
from flask import Flask
from dash_okta_oauth2 import OktaOAuth

server = Flask(__name__)
server.config.update({
  'OKTA_OAUTH_CLIENT_ID': ...,
  'OKTA_OAUTH_CLIENT_SECRET': ...,
  'OKTA_BASE_URL': ...
})

app = Dash(__name__, server=server, url_base_pathname='/')


additional_scopes = [...]
auth = OktaOAuth(app, additional_scopes)

# your Dash app here :)
...

Example

Steps to try this out yourself:

1. Install the dash-okta-auth library using pip:

   $ pip install dash-okta-oauth2
   

2. Follow the Flask Dance Guide to create an app on the okta admin console

3. Make a copy of app.py and set the variables (or set the corresponding environment variables):

   server.config["OKTA_OAUTH_CLIENT_ID"] = ...
   server.config["OKTA_OAUTH_CLIENT_SECRET"] = ...
   

   with values from the Okta OAuth 2 application you should have set up earlier. If you've set these up properly, you can find them at Applications > yourapp > General under the section Client Credentials.

4. Run python app.py and open localhost in a browser window to try it out! If the app loads automatically without prompting a Okta login, that means you're already authenticated -- try using an inokta window in this case if you want to see the login experience for a new user.
