ramwin opened a new issue, #23321:
URL: https://github.com/apache/airflow/issues/23321
### Apache Airflow version
2.2.5 (latest released)
### What happened
If I just set the `airflow.cfg` file
```
[api]
auth_backend = airflow.api.auth.backend.basic_auth
```
the rest api didn't work, it returns
```
{
"detail": null,
"status": 401,
"title": "Unauthorized",
"type":
"https://airflow.apache.org/docs/apache-airflow/2.2.5/stable-rest-api-ref.html#section/Errors/Unauthenticated";
}
```
I found the solution on
[stackoverflow](https://stackoverflow.com/a/65593173/3601654). After setting
the `AIRFLOW__API__AUTH_BACKEND` environment variable, the rest api works.
### What you think should happen instead
The rest api show be enabled if I only set the `airflow.cfg`
### How to reproduce
1. install airflow
2. change the airflow.cfg
3. use `airflow standalone` to start
4. call the rest api.
### Operating System
Ubuntu 20.04.4 LTS
