[jira] [Created] (AIRFLOW-1970) Database cannot be initialized if
an invalid fernet key is provided
Michael Backes created AIRFLOW-1970:
---------------------------------------
Summary: Database cannot be initialized if an invalid fernet key is provided
Key: AIRFLOW-1970
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AIRFLOW-1970
Project: Apache Airflow
Issue Type: Bug
Components: configuration
Affects Versions: 1.9.0
Environment: Python 2.7.12
PostgreSQL 9.6.3
Reporter: Michael Backes
If I use an invalid fernet key in my config file, I'm not able to run "airflow initdb" successfully.
For example if I have the following in my config:
{panel:title=airflow.cfg}
...
# Secret key to save connection passwords in the db
fernet_key = xxx
...
{panel}
I will get the following error when running "airflow initdb":

TypeError: Incorrect padding
{panel}
I also got an error when I try to add extras to a connection, if fernet_key is empty in the config file. The error message was "Incorrect padding". Once I provided a valid key generated with the instructions given [here|http://airflow.readthedocs.io/en/latest/configuration.html?highlight=fernet#connections] and restarted all of the airflow services it worked without any issues.
