Auth
✓ from dash_enterprise_auth import get_username, get_user_data, create_logout_button
✗ from dash_enterprise_auth import Auth

Basic Dash app using Auth.get_username() to retrieve the authenticated user.

import dash from dash import html from dash_enterprise_auth import Auth import os app = dash.Dash(__name__) username = Auth.get_username() app.layout = html.Div(f'Hello, {username or "Guest"}') if __name__ == '__main__': app.run_server(debug=True)
Debug
Known issues
gotchaAuth.get_username() returns None when running locally without authentication headers.
fix
Wrap in try/except or check for None; local development may need environment variable DASH_USERNAME set.
affects: all
gotchaThis library only works when Dash app is deployed behind Dash Enterprise's authentication proxy; it does not perform authentication itself.
fix
Ensure the app is deployed on Dash Enterprise with authentication enabled; for local testing, set environment variables like DASH_USERNAME manually.
affects: all
gotchaAuth class methods (get_username, get_user, get_groups) may raise exceptions if the app is not behind the proxy.
fix
Use try/except or check for None; see quickstart for pattern.
