I’ve deployed my first application today utilizing plotly Dash and I’m using Dash Auth as my authentication to login to the application.
However, the way our system works, it’s dependent on a ‘health check’ which requires a given URL from the dash app to return a 200 status code to ensure the site is running well. From my understanding, the Dash Auth throws a 401 error first to display the login page, then returns either 200 or 403 based on the input.
This initial 401 then crashes our system because it’s expecting a 200 for the health check.
My question is, what link can I supply our system so that I get a 200 status code returned instead of the 401 while still using Dash Auth? The base path, like url.com/ seems to throw the 401 still. Thank you!
You need to create a login page which can send 200 response.
or else simple solution is to add 401 as a required success code in EC2 Target Groups as 401 means unauthorized error.
Process:
EC2 -> Load balancing -> Target groups -> select target group -> health checks -> set Success Codes as 401.
