c.Authenticator.admin_users set, but no admin access

hello I am attempting to setup jupyterhub. currently running .9.6 I cannot login as the local admin for jupyterhub. I can login and I get a notebook server started, but no admin access. I created local user account and added that to the sudo group as well. The config file is located in /etc/jupyterhub/, which is the default correct?

from the jupyterhub_config.py

c.PAMAuthenticator.open_sessions = False
c.Authenticator.admin_users = {'alvin'}
c.JupyterHub.admin_access = true

logs when I login via browser: (docker logs container_id -f)

Eventually I would like to have some flavor of SSO or OAuth setup, but local admin is what I need/want for testing

thanks in advance for any help

cheers,

Heya! A few suggestions:

  1. Try passing the --config flag explicitly to jupyterhub, with path to the jupyterhub_config.py file, to make sure it is reading it.
  2. JupyterHub ‘admin’ accounts are ‘admin’ only in the context of JupyterHub itself, and give you no special access otherwise. So when you say ‘local’, what effect are you expecting to have?
  3. Is this the full logs? I see a syntax error (true rather than True in the last line), so either there should be an error message in the logs or the jupyterhub_config.py file is not being read.

(I also formatted your post to have ``` around the code / logs, to make it easier to read. Hope that’s ok!)

Hi Yuvi,
Sorry I am new to jupyterhub. I will try to clean up my terminology. I am only concerned with jupyterhub admin access. Will running jupyterhub from the folder containing the jupyterhub_config.py file that I want be the same as --config flag? I saw that typo later and have fixed it. This is the log from the time that I login. Where you looking for the log for everything after the Jupyterhub command is called?

This is the debugging information. I no longer get the Jhub message no admin account set, but I still don’t jupyterhub admin access.

auth_state is enabled, but encryption is not available: Encryption keys must be specified in JUPYTERHUB_CRYPT_KEY env

I see this in the log line. Does JupyterHub exit at this point?

It might also be related to what names Globus auth uses for users who authenticate in, and what you set in admin_users not matching that.

I think JupyterHub would exit at that point. If you can still access it after that line, maybe you have multiple JupyterHubs running somehow, and the one you’re accessing isn’t the same as the one with the config you have set?

This definitely looks like you have more than one hub process running.

top often does not show JupyterHub processes since they don’t really do much CPU. Try looking at the output of ps aux to see if other JupyterHub processes are running.

This JupyterHub process has been running for at least 1 full day (from looking at the ‘START’ column), so I think that’s the process you are reaching instead of the ones you are trying to start. If this is inside a container, I’d recommend killing it and starting a new container.

I fixed this by adding in a line in my Dockerfile to create a local account that mirrored the name of account in my jupyterhub_config.py file.
