Ash Berlin-Taylor commented on AIRFLOW-2047:
--------------------------------------------
There is a small note: "Be sure to checkout [Experimental Rest
API|https://airflow.apache.org/api.html] for securing the API." at the top of
the security page. Maybe this does need to be made bigger.
See AIRFLOW-1765 for the previous decision on why the API isn't authenticated
by default
> airflow is insecure by default

> Key: AIRFLOW-2047
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AIRFLOW-2047
> Project: Apache Airflow
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: api
> Affects Versions: 1.9.0
> Reporter: Joost van Dorp
> Priority: Critical
> Labels: easyfix, security
>
> # [API Documentation|https://airflow.apache.org/api.html#authentication]
> states that the API is open/insecure by default.
> # [Security Documentation|https://airflow.apache.org/security.html#security]
> does not mention the API.
> Can we either:
> a) Disable the API by default, and have instructions on how to enable the
> experimental API?
> or
> b) Place a warning on the security documentation page that the API is open by
> default.
