**Apache Airflow version**: 1.10.12 **Kubernetes version (if you are using kubernetes)** (use `kubectl version`): n/a **Environment**: - **Cloud provider or hardware configuration**: Amazon MWAA - **OS** (e.g. from /etc/os-release): Amazon Linux (latest) - **Kernel** (e.g. `uname -a`): n/a - **Install tools**: n/a **What happened**: If an unreachable secrets.backend is specified in airflow.cfg the web server crashes **What you expected to happen**: An invalid secrets backend should be ignored with a warning, and the system should default back to the metadatabase secrets **How to reproduce it**: In an environment without access to AWS Secrets Manager, add the following to your airflow.cfg: ``` [secrets] backend = airflow.contrib.secrets.aws_secrets_manager.SecretsManagerBackend ``` **or** an environment without access to SSM specifiy: ``` [secrets] backend = airflow.contrib.secrets.aws_systems_manager.SystemsManagerParameterStoreBackend ``` Reference: https://airflow.apache.org/docs/apache-airflow/1.10.12/howto/use-alternative-secrets-backend.html#aws-ssm-parameter-store-secrets-backend -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
