If you see a “Token authentication is enabled” screen when trying to access your Pod’s Jupyter Lab server, follow the steps below to log in.

Jupyter server token authentication

Jupyter server token authentication screen

  1. Go to the Pod page in the Runpod console and click the Connect button for the Pod you want to access.

  2. Look for the Web Terminal start button.

  3. Click Start, then open the web terminal.

  4. In the terminal, run the following command to get the Jupyter Lab server token:

    jupyter server list

You should see output similar to this:

root@2779b5db68b8:/# jupyter server list
Currently running servers:
http://localhost:8888/?token=ua5nw5fwkdzseqpp5apj :: /
root@2779b5db68b8:/#

The token you need is the string of characters that appears after the = sign, such as ua5nw5fwkdzseqpp5apj in the example above.

Copy this token, return to your Jupyter Lab login page, and paste it into the Token field to sign in.
