Authenticate to Jupyterhub using header REMOTE_USER

This package can be installed with pip:

pip install jupyterhub-remote-user-authenticator-v2

You should edit your :file:jupyterhub_config.py to set the authenticator class, the RemoteUserLocalAuthenticator provides features such as local user creation. If you already have local users then you may use the RemoteUserAuthenticator authenticator class:

c.JupyterHub.authenticator_class = 'remote_user_authenticator.RemoteUserLocalAuthenticator'

This class is derived from LocalAuthenticator and therefore provides features such as the ability to add local accounts through the admin interface if configured to do so.

c.JupyterHub.authenticator_class = 'remote_user_authenticator.RemoteUserAuthenticator'

# Header with username
c.RemoteUserAuthenticator.header_name = 'REMOTE_USER'

You should be able to start jupyterhub. :)
