Hi,  
I’m running a webapp with basic authentication.  
However I would like the landing page not to require any authentication.  
Is there any way to seperate authentication on pages?  
Tks

It depends on how you are doing authentication. If you’re using some form of normal Flask authentication, you can define a route that is outside the scope of the authenticator. Can you include some more detail in your auth method?

I’m using dash\_auth.BasicAuth  
I’ll have a look into defining a route with flask authentication. Temporarily fixed it by hosting landing page and webapp separately.
