How can I implement custom authentication in JupyterHub?

You can implement custom authentication in JupyterHub by creating a custom authenticator class. Would you like a code example?

Yes, please provide a code example for a custom authenticator.

Here's a simple example:

from jupyterhub.auth import Authenticator

class MyCustomAuthenticator(Authenticator):
    async def authenticate(self, handler, data):
        # Your authentication logic here
        return username  # Return the authenticated username

You would then configure JupyterHub to use this authenticator in your jupyterhub_config.py.

What other authentication methods can I use with JupyterHub?

JupyterHub supports various authentication methods like OAuth, LDAP, and GitHub. You can also create your own custom methods.
