A fast and easy way to handle the user authentication using ldap in your Streamlit apps.

What is Streamlit LDAP Authenticator?

streamlit-ldap-authenticator let you add login form and execute authentication before your streamlit page app started.

Features

• Each page app can have it's own additional user authorization.

• Can configure to remember user login by using cookie in the client's browser.

Installation

Open a terminal and run:

pip install streamlit-ldap-authenticator

Quickstart

Simple log in example

Create a new file secrets.toml in .streamlit folder.
You can learn more about secrets management streamlit documentation.

Require Configuration

• Active directory server path of your organization
• Your organization domain
• Avaliable attribute for your organization for person data in active directory. You can use ADExplorer to explore avaliable attribute for your organization.

If your organization email address is "@example.com", most likely your configuration will be as below

[ldap]
server_path = "ldap://ldap.example.com"
domain = "example"
search_base = "dc=example,dc=com"
attributes = ["sAMAccountName", "distinguishedName", "userPrincipalName", "displayName", "manager", "title"]
use_ssl = true

[session_state_names]
user = "login_user"
remember_me = "login_remember_me"

[auth_cookie]
name = "login_cookie"
key = "{any password for encryption}"
expiry_days = 1
auto_renewal = true

Create a new file simple_login.py with the following code:

import streamlit as st
from streamlit_ldap_authenticator import Authenticate, LogoutFormConfig

# Declare the authentication object
auth = Authenticate(
    st.secrets['ldap'],
    st.secrets['session_state_names'],
    st.secrets['auth_cookie']
)

# Login Process
user = auth.login()
if user is not None:  
    auth.createLogoutForm(LogoutFormConfig(message=f"Welcome {user['displayName']}"))
    
    # Your page application can be written below  
    st.write("# Welcome to my App! 👋")
    st.write(user)

Run the streamlit app!

streamlit run simple_login.py
