Session management in Dtale and SSO

[go-kool]

Hi Team,

We are trying to make use of dtale for our EDA purpose and host dtale as a service so that any data analyst can play with the data and comeup with the opportunities. So for doing this we are thinking of managing the sessions for each user. We would like to check if

1. Sessions can be managed in dtale ?? If yes, Can you please share any documents which can help us.
2. Can we use SSO to authenticate users.

So I think I might see if there is someway I can give users the ability to write their own authentication layer to D-Tale. Just add a parameter where you can specify a function which takes in an instance of the Flask app as a parameter and you can define routes and other things to support authentication.

I don't want to build something specific for SSO because it will just be a matter of time before I'd need to support something else.

For reference this is the current authentication available (it's not great): https://github.com/man-group/dtale#authentication

Is it possible to manage sessoions in Dtale ?

@go-kool in what way? I know Flask doesn't really allow you to manage sessions. They'll be shared amongst any open browser tabs

@aschonfeld , Like If user A uploaded a data file and analizing the data. At the same time if user B also uploads a new file then there should not be any conflict between these two uses. Both the users will work on different different browsers
