Allow login with token similar to jupyter notebook server

Open benjaminum opened this issue 1 year ago • 1 comments

What is your suggestion?

Simplify the login procedure by allowing to pass the session password in the url to get similar behavior as clicking on a jupyter link of the form

Jupyter Server 2.12.5 is running at:
    http://localhost:8888/lab?token=fbf7cc58bbd90a9f172490f5c57201e03ca967efe424090c872b3218110f29fa

Why do you want this feature?

It streamlines the sign in procedure.

Are there any workarounds to get this functionality today?

--auth none is a workaround but is not secure if there are multiple people working on the same node

Are you interested in submitting a PR for this?

Yes

Going to go ahead and close as a duplicate and reword the other issue a bit.
