Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Could we please have an option to disable it's internal authentication?

This would be very useful for people that are already running the app behind an centralised authentication / identity provider such as Authentik / Okta etc...

Describe the solution you'd like

  • An option to disable the apps internal authentication.
  • Take the user from the headers or URL parameter.
    or
  • Set a default user to assume if internal authentication is not used.

Describe alternatives you've considered

I've tried passing the email/password details in via some dodgy middleware but it's far from ideal.

Just found https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/issues/483#issuecomment-1964158623 (sorry my first search didn't show it up for some reason) - perhaps this will provide a solution when ready?
