We have a documentation on Custom User Authentication:
[https://nodered.org/docs/security#custom-user-authentication](https://nodered.org/docs/security#custom-user-authentication)
But I need little bit more. I have a `React` site with:
- A custom `username` and a `password` field validator (`HTML` form).
- Integrated `IFrame` of `NodeRED`.
After react validation success, I get JWT token. So when I login to the `React` site, I don't need this `NodeRED` dialogue form for re-entering the `username` and `password`. I want to use that JWT token for the validation. How can I achieve this functionality?

Not sure how, but there is jwt authorization node node-red-contrib-auth it might help you, and

That is just a `Node` of `NodeRED`. But I want to replace that authentication dialogue box with my `JWT` token of `WebApp`.
Don't wanna see this, when I have `JWT` token in my `WebApp`.

Just want to do admin interface login via my own JWT token (I have JWT token in my WebApp not in NodeRED).

Hi @RaiBnod
the Node-RED auth system doesn't allow you to use your own token.
You would need to do something along the lines of:
1. once a user has logged into your application, obtain a valid access token for them - [https://nodered.org/docs/api/admin/oauth](https://nodered.org/docs/api/admin/oauth)
2. when you load the NR editor, pass in that access token in the url as a query param - `?access_token=YOUR_TOKEN` - that will bypass the login screen.
