Does adding auth and an authenticated user to meltano’s ui automatically enable and add that user to airflow’s webserver config and enable auth as well, or are those two steps I need to do?

@paul_blankley Meltano doesn't do anything fancy with Airflow besides apply these settings when you run it through

meltano invoke airflow ...

: https://gitlab.com/meltano/meltano/blob/master/src/meltano/core/bundle/discovery.yml#L846-860, so you'd need to set up users and auth yourself. Meltano config for

airflow

directly maps to Airflow's own

airflow.cfg

config format, so if you'd like to set the

webserver.authenticate

setting to

true

(per https://airflow.apache.org/docs/stable/security.html#web-authentication), that'd look like:

orchestrators:
- name: airflow
  config:
    webserver:
      authenticate: true

Those settings will only be applied when you run the plugin through

meltano invoke airflow

, of course. To create users, it looks like you'd want to use

meltano invoke airflow create_user ...

(per https://airflow.apache.org/docs/stable/cli-ref.html#create_user)
