LDAP ja home directory creation

[Jori Mäntysalo]

I want to authenticate over LDAP and use Sagemath as a kernel.

Is it possible to hook automatic home directory creation to LDAP
authenticator? From uid LDAP will give home directory, usually
/home/staff/uid or /home/stud/uid. I would like to have all Sage data
located on same Sage server, so that login with new uid would create
/home/uid.

(Later I want to have both LDAP and local accounts available, so that the
system would behave like SageNB works now.)

You might want to override Spawner.start to do the actions you are looking for when a user’s server starts.

from jupyterhub.spawner import LocalProcessSpawner
class MySpawner(LocalProcessSpawner):
    def start(self):
        setup_home_directory(self.user.name) # < define this function
        return super().start()

c.JupyterHub.spawner_class = MySpawner

-Min

You could use https://github.com/benhosmer/jupyterhub-ldapcreateusers
as well. I'll probably extract the useful bits out of that into a more
generic package at some point...

It works, but only if /home has write permission to all users.

For now I freezed this path and continue using SageNB. There are several
reason, one of them being this and another the possibility to share
worksheets.
