Hello,
I manage to get it working by doing this :

1. Config file :

appConfig:
  auth:
    enableGuestAccess: true
    users:
      - user: user1
         hash: XXXXX
         type: admin
  disableConfigurationForNonAdmin: true

2. Reload the container/API
3. Erase stored cookies/data (check your browser doc)
4. Reload the page

Now I got this little arrow on the top right corner to login.
Hope it helps.

Here is the only one post mentionning it that I found: https://www.reddit.com/r/selfhosted/comments/t9gqgb/trying_to_setup_dashy_but_cant_get_authentication/

Trying to setup dashy, but can't get authentication working.

Im currently setting up dashy and i am not able to figure out why authentication is not working. From what o could gather i just need to add a...

I am also having this problem. I have an admin user set up but upon going to the dashboard it goes straight into guest mode without any way to log on.

I tried adding disableConfigurationForNonAdmin: true as suggested above, it worked for a while but today it happened again and goes straight to guest mode.

Without being able to logon as admin, I am not able to persist any config changes to disk.

I have the same problem with authentication not working with the 2.1.1 version

I "solved" the issue by following the comment here with a combination of enableGuestAccess: true and disableConfigurationForNonAdmin: true.

"solved" the issue by following the comment #990 (comment) with a combination of enableGuestAccess: true and disableConfigurationForNonAdmin: true.

I was having the same issue and this solution solved the login icon never showing, but when I sign in as an admin it says "Some configuration features have been disabled by your administrator" in the configuration options.
Here is my config:

appConfig:
  disableConfigurationForNonAdmin: true
  auth:
    enableGuestAccess: true
    users:
    - user: username
      hash: hash-here
      type: admin

Same to me.
Auth doesn't work.
Admin user set up but upon going to the dashboard it goes straight into guest mode without any way to log on.

[Aerowinder]

Same to me. Auth doesn't work. Admin user set up but upon going to the dashboard it goes straight into guest mode without any way to log on.

It does work, but for the initial setup, you have to manually edit the config file with nano/vi/etc. and rebuild from the command line. After that, it works. This is not clearly indicated, and it should be.

Hi,

what do you mean with "rebuild from the command line" @Aerowinder ?

Thanks in advance

This issue has gone 6 weeks without an update. To keep the ticket open, please indicate that it is still relevant in a comment below. Otherwise it will be closed in 5 working days.

This issue was automatically closed because it has been stalled for over 6 weeks with no activity.

[coderunway]

This is still an open issue. Does not work even after adding enableGuestAccess: true and disableConfigurationForNonAdmin: true parameters. I have tried it in the incognito mode browser too, to ensure its not a caching issue. Any advice is appreciated.

appConfig:
auth:
enableGuestAccess: false
users:
- user: user1
hash: #####################
type: admin
- user: user2
hash: ########################
type: normal
disableConfigurationForNonAdmin: true

For the same, still not working, fresh install, it just keeps getting on the homescreen page without a login page. (I have set Guest mode off), I get (when I add some users) a notif "some settings are...." but I cannot get a login screen...

[Lissy93]

I've not been able to recreate this. At least with the latest version, following the Authentication Guide seems to work fine for me.

Let me know if still an issue

[whereismyfun42]

Just set the auth up today - I do not receive an auth at all. v. 2.1.1
appConfig:
theme: dashy-docs
statusCheck: false
auth:
users:
- user: homelab
hash: ##############################################################
type: admin
- user: zuk
hash: ##############################################################
type: admin

Sorry if you didn't want to be pinged, but I figure you probably did - or you wouldn't have participated in the issue

[jewstan83]

this got it working for me.

@Lissy93 I had to manually rebuild the app after enabling authentication.

I also tried every step in the authentication guide but always get "Authentication is not enabled, or no users have been configured"... switched to caddy authentication now...
