Add enable setting to options

[SelfhostedPro]

Would it be feasible to add an optional option to enable or disable authentication to the jwtSettings?

Currently I'm using Fast-API users (but I'm migrating to fastapi-jwt-auth) and one of the requests of some users is to be able to disable authentication (so that they can use their own authentication platform like authelia).

With FastAPI users I highjack a function (essentially if the DISABLE_AUTH environment variable is set to true, I import a fake function that just returns true instead of the actual get_active_user function (code here)).

I was wondering if there's a similar way to do that with this framework?

for security reasons, it's not. but I give user option to use partially protecting endpoint this is docs maybe its can solve your problem

Ah, not really what I'm going for. I'm trying to fully disable authentication. It's alright. I'll try a similar way to what I did before and post here if it works. Thanks for being super responsive!

Glad to hear that. it's my pleasure 😄 🙏

The way I'm accomplishing this is the following:

I have a function that checks for the DISABLE_AUTH environment variable being set.

auth.py

def auth_check(Authorize):
    if settings.DISABLE_AUTH == "True":
        return # If disable auth is set to true, then return nothing
    else:
        return Authorize.jwt_required() #if disable auth isn't set or is set to false, return Authorize.jwt_required()

Then I import that instead of Authorize directly:

from ..auth import auth_check

Then I build my routes as follows:

@router.get("/")
def index(Authorize: AuthJWT = Depends()): #Call Authorize the standard way
    auth_check(Authorize) #Pass it through to my auth_check function.
    return actions.get_apps()
