[jira] [Commented] (AIRFLOW-2047) airflow is insecure by default

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AIRFLOW-2047?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16345515#comment-16345515 ] 

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

>             Project: Apache Airflow
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: api
>    Affects Versions: 1.9.0

> #  [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.
