Authentication
Header
Header auth is a simple way to authenticate users using a header. It is typically used to delegate authentication to a reverse proxy.
Example
from typing import Optional
import chainlit as cl
@cl.header_auth_callback
def header_auth_callback(headers: Dict) -> Optional[cl.User]:
# Verify the signature of a token in the header (ex: jwt token)
# or check that the value is matching a row from your database
if headers.get("test-header") == "test-value":
return cl.User(identifier="admin", metadata={"role": "admin", "provider": "header"})
else:
return None
