While this documentation refers to authentication using the
``apache-airflow-providers-fab`` package, please note:
- The **FAB auth provider** is actively maintained and compatible with the
latest versions of Airflow.
- - The legacy ``webserver_config.py`` file referenced in older docs is **no
longer used** in recent versions of Airflow. Instead, authentication is handled
via the new ``auth_manager`` framework configured in ``airflow.cfg``.
+ - It is preferred to configure supported authentication options using the
new ``auth_manager`` framework configured in ``airflow.cfg``.
+ - The ``webserver_config.py`` file is still used for more advanced options,
+ such as Single Sign-On with OAuth.
For more, see the :doc:`token`.
