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)
...
Example
Steps to try this out yourself:
-
Install the dash-okta-auth
library using pip
:
$ pip install dash-okta-oauth2
-
Follow the Flask Dance Guide
to create an app on the okta admin console
-
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.
-
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.
