Dash Okta Auth

Dash Okta Auth

Dash Okta Auth is a simple library using Okta OAuth 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

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_auth import OktaOAuth

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

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

additional_scopes = [...]
auth = OktaOAuth(app, base_url='https://myoktadomain.okta-emea.com', 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-auth
   

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.
