Hi Is there a way to disable frontend authentication for datahub-frontend container? We wanted to use a proxy in front of datahub which does the authentication for the user.

Would you want to see able to know who is accessing/using datahub? If you're ok with not knowing then enabling AUTH_JAAS_ENABLED=false would disable authentication but make everyone access as user "datahub"
a
Okay. Is it possible for the proxy to impersonate as another user?

You could likely leverage the JAAS custom authenticator, which takes a pre authenticated callback as an input with the user info and logs them in

Cool, I’ll try that.
Is there a way to specify policy using JAAS custom authenticator to be applied for a new user?
b
Not sure what is meant by this^
