Is it possible to disable token / password auth?

[iwinux]

Problem: I've already set up client certificate auth at the frontend Nginx server, so there's no need to add another auth step.

What I've tried: setting c.NotebookApp.token = None results in jupyter lab crashing at startup....

Expect: Be able to disable token / password auth entirely.

Package Versions:

• jupyter-client: 5.2.3
• jupyter-core: 4.4.0
• jupyterlab: 0.32.1
• jupyterlab-launcher: 0.10.5

why not write a customized authentication extension, which will check if request has been already authenticated by nginx...

@iwinux did you try setting it to empty string? Also I have c.NotebookApp.password_required = False.

How come I didn't try that 😅 c.NotebookApp.token = '' works!

Just one note, you can launch jupyter with --LabApp.token='' also
