Hello! In this blog post we are going to dive deep on utilizing OpenID Connect (OIDC) and your third Party Identity Provider to authenticate and assign permissions to users signing into Airflow 2.X through the web app UI. Airflow is a platform to programmatically author, schedule, and monitor workflows. It is primarily written in Python, and comes with a web based UI for managing workflows and other UI driven tasks. The Airflow web UI uses Flask App Builder (FAB) as the primary framework and Airflow provides methods for customizing which FAB authentication method will be used.

If this step is not performed correctly, provisioning will fail.
