dstandish edited a comment on issue #6376: [WIP] [AIRFLOW-5705] Add creds backend classes including AWS SSM URL: https://github.com/apache/airflow/pull/6376#issuecomment-544334413 > Will the web interface work? No web UI configurability. Currently we can provide connections with env vars and those cannot be changed with web UI either. It would be the same here, when using a alternative creds provider other than the metastore. If you want web UI configurability, just use the metastore. Mind you, your alt provider may have it's own web UI (as is the case with AWS SSM), it just would not be _airflow's_ web UI. > How do you configure connections in other services? However you want! The point here is to provide a way to override default mechanisms of creds provision. Currently it's env vars and metastore. With this change, you have flexibility. Kindof like `hostname_callable`; use whatever function you need to use. Just return a URI (or _URIs_) given a `conn_id`. We can provide some built-in standard creds providers (e.g. using AWS SSM). And in this case we would document how to set up. But the main intention is to refactor just a tiny bit to allow for users to override to suit their needs.
