[jira] [Created] (AIRFLOW-2886) Secure Flask SECRET_KEY

Xiaodong DENG created AIRFLOW-2886:
--------------------------------------

             Summary: Secure Flask SECRET_KEY
                 Key: AIRFLOW-2886
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AIRFLOW-2886
             Project: Apache Airflow
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Xiaodong DENG
            Assignee: Xiaodong DENG


In my earlier PRs, [https://github.com/apache/incubator-airflow/pull/3651] and [https://github.com/apache/incubator-airflow/pull/3729] , I proposed to generate random SECRET_KEY for Flask App.

If we have multiple workers for the Flask webserver, we may encounter CSRF error {{The CSRF session token is missing}} .

On the other hand, it's still very important to have as random SECRET_KEY as possible for security reasons. We can deal with it like how we dealt with FERNET_KEY (i.e. generate a random value when the airflow.cfg file is initiated).
