Complete the code to set the OAuth authentication backend in Airflow's configuration.

Apache Airflow

[webserver]
auth_backend = [1]

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using LDAP backend instead of OAuth.

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Missing 'ldap_auth' suffix.

Wrong module path prefix.

The correct LDAP backend path is airflow.contrib.auth.backends.ldap_auth. Other options are incorrect or incomplete.

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using default or placeholder values instead of real credentials.

Swapping client ID and secret.

OAuth requires setting client_id and client_secret with your actual credentials.

5fill in blank

hard

Fill all three blanks to configure Airflow to use LDAP authentication with a specific server and base DN.

Apache Airflow

[ldap]
auth_backend = [1]
server = [2]
basedn = [3]

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

Aairflow.contrib.auth.backends.ldap_auth

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using wrong backend path.

Incorrect server URL format.

Wrong base DN syntax.

To configure LDAP authentication, set auth_backend to the LDAP backend path, specify the LDAP server URL, and the basedn for your directory.
