That's not correct. JupyterHub supports arbitrary authenticators: https://jupyterhub.readthedocs.io/en/latest/authenticators.html In particular, there is an LDAP authenticator: https://github.com/jupyterhub/ldapauthenticator If I understands Jori's loud thoughts, he wants to mix an LDAP authenticator with the default PAM authenticator. It shouldn't be too hard to write a class that tries them in some order, although I'm not sure that's the best solution. > A notebook is just an ordinary file owned by some Unix user. That is pretty much configurable too : https://jupyterhub.readthedocs.io/en/latest/spawners.html I think the hardest thing to achieve with jupyterhub is notebook sharing, at least in a fashion similar to the classic notebook. There is a concept of *admin account* in JupyterHub (disjoint from Unix admins). Admins can run the Jupyter notebook as any other user, so they can see and run all the students' notebooks. > How others teach Sage? Here I make a Sage account of the form > "Coursecode-Year", and the teacher asks students to share worksheet > with that account. For the first year this time, I set up a jupyterhub with a PAM authenticator. I create a unix user account for each student (and teacher). This is fine with us, because we want them to also have ssh access (and it's only ~10 students). They can use Python, Sage, and Julia via the Jupyter notebook, and can also run any of those and much more from a shell. Added bonuses: - There is an in-browser shell in JupyterHub. Very practical for those students who don't know how to run ssh on their home computers. - JupyterHub file view lets the students upload and download any kind of file from the server, not only noteboks. So this makes a very simple "cloud host" for them to have all their work available from anywhere (e.g., the C files they write in the system programming class). When I want to share a notebook with the students, I share a static .ipynb file via gist, and visualize it via nbviewer. e.g.: http://nbviewer.jupyter.org/gist/defeo/4adb727f7608dfd2c75eb7699d670fb7 When I want to see the student's work, I ask them to send me the .ipynb by mail, or directly access their notebooks using my admin account. Works like a charm. I'll be looking at custom authentication soon. Luca -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
