Since the kernel is a different process from the server, objects in the server are not available to the kernels. Environment variables can be used to share little bits of information throughout the server and kernels, e.g.
export MY_USERNAME='something' jupyter notebook in which case the MY_USERNAME env will be available to the server and all of its kernel subprocesses. If the server doesn’t know its name until some time later, you can modify how kernels are started, to pass this environment variable on each kernel launch. -MinRK On Tue, Aug 9, 2016 at 2:19 PM, Paul A <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi all, I have a user id passed via HttpContext, so in principle the > notebook should know who is connecting.
