26
+ # Airflow LDAP Auth Manager
27
+
28
+ A drop-in **Auth Manager** for **Apache Airflow 3.x** that authenticates users against **LDAP/Active Directory** and maps LDAP groups to Airflow roles (**admin / editor / viewer**). It supports redundant LDAP servers, secure transport (LDAPS or StartTLS), and secret indirection for bind credentials via Airflow’s **Secrets Backend** (Variables).
29
+
30
+ ## Features
31
+
32
+ - **LDAP/AD authentication** using [`ldap3`](https://ldap3.readthedocs.io/)
33
+ - **Group → role mapping** (admin > editor > viewer)
34
+ - **Redundancy & failover** via `ldap3.ServerPool` (ROUND_ROBIN by default)
35
+ - **TLS: LDAPS or StartTLS** (with certificate verification)
36
+ - **Secrets-friendly config:** `bind_dn_secret` and `bind_password_secret` read from Airflow Variables (resolved through your configured secrets backend)
37
+ - **Clean Airflow 3 API:** uses the Airflow SDK (`airflow.sdk.*`)
38
+ - **Simple login UI** with configurable instance name and login tip
39
+ - **Helpful logging:** logs which LDAP server the connection bound to
40
+
41
+ ## To-do
42
+
43
+ - [x] Extend the user & group search base config items to allow multiple entries (or LDAP `OR` syntax)
44
+ - [x] Package this and upload to pypi
45
+
46
+ ## Requirements
47
+
48
+ - **Python:** 3.12+
49
+ - **Airflow:** 3.1+ (Auth Manager interface & SDK)
50
+ - **Libraries:** `ldap3`, `fastapi`, `jinja2` (`fastapi` & `jinja2` is likely installed already as Airflow dependencies)
51
+ - **Optional (recommended):** a Secrets Backend (Vault, AWS Secrets Manager, GCP SM, Azure KV) configured for Airflow Variables
52
+
53
+ ## Installation
54
+
55
+ Install from PyPi into the environment where Airflow is installed:
56
+
57
+ ```shell
58
+ pip install airflow-ldap-auth-manager
59
+ ```
60
+
61
+
62
+ Or install after cloning the project:
63
+
64
+ ```shell
65
+ git clone <repo url>
66
+ cd airflow-ldap-auth-manager
67
+ pip install .
68
+ ```
69
+
70
+ ## Configure Airflow
71
+
72
+ Changes needed in `airflow.cfg`:
73
+
74
+ ### Enable the Auth Manager
75
+
76
+ ```ini
77
+ [core]
78
+ # Fully qualified path to the auth manager class in this repo
79
+ auth_manager = airflow_ldap_auth_manager.LDAPAuthManager
80
+ ```
81
+
82
+
83
+ ### Make sure JWT settings are configured correctly
84
+
85
+ ```ini
86
+ [api_auth]
87
+ jwt_secret = # Needs to be set
88
+ jwt_algorithm = # Either leave empty, or make sure consistent across all machines
89
+ jwt_audience = # Either leave empty, or make sure consistent across all machines
90
+ jwt_issuer = # Either leave empty, or make sure consistent across all machines
91
+ ```
92
+
93
+ ### LDAP settings
94
+
95
+ Add a section for the LDAP auth manager (adjust to your environment):
96
+
97
+ ```ini
98
+ [ldap_auth_manager]
99
+ server_uri = ldaps://ldap1.example.com:636,ldaps://ldap2.example.com:636
100
+ bind_dn =
101
+ bind_password =
102
+ bind_dn_secret = secret/path/to/airflow/variable/for/bind_dn
103
+ bind_password_secret = path/to/airflow/variable/for/bind_password
104
+ user_search_base = OU=Users,DC=company_name
105
+ user_search_filter = (|(uid={username})(sAMAccountName={username})(mail={username}))
106
+ group_search_base = OU=Groups,DC=company_name
107
+ group_member_attr = member
108
+ admin_groups = airflow-admins
109
+ editor_groups = airflow-editors
110
+ viewer_groups = airflow-viewers,airflow-auditors
111
+ username_attr = uid
112
+ email_attr = mail
113
+ start_tls = false
114
+ verify_ssl = true
115
+ post_login_redirect = /
116
+ logout_redirect = /
117
+ debug_logging = false
118
+ ```
119
+
120
+ Environment variable overrides are supported in the standard Airflow fashion, e.g.:`
121
+
122
+ `AIRFLOW__LDAP_AUTH_MANAGER__BIND_DN_SECRET=api_server/ldap_auth_manager/bind_dn`
123
+
124
+
125
+ ### Branding & login hint (optional)
126
+
127
+ ```ini
128
+ [api]
129
+ # Human-friendly name for titles/headers on the login page
130
+ instance_name = Company Airflow
131
+
132
+ [ldap_auth_manager]
133
+ # Optional helper text shown under "Sign in"
134
+ login_tip = Using your Company credentials
135
+ ```
136
+
137
+ Restart the api-server after changes.
138
+
139
+ ## Configuration reference
140
+
141
+ ``` ini
142
+ [ldap_auth_manager]
143
+ # LDAP authentication/authorization settings for LDAPAuthManager.
144
+ # This section supports multiple redundant servers, secure transport (LDAPS or StartTLS),

147
+ # Comma-separated list of LDAP server URIs.

149
+ # - When multiple URIs are provided, the manager builds an ldap3 ServerPool with ROUND_ROBIN

+ # strategy for load distribution and failover.
151
+ # - For ldaps://, TLS is implicit from connect; for ldap:// + start_tls=true, StartTLS is
152

294
+ ## UI & templates
295
+
296
+ - Login template: `ldap_login.html`
297
+ - Static assets are served under `/auth/static/` (e.g. `/auth/static/style.css`, `/auth/static/airflow.svg`)
298
+ - Form posts to `/auth/token`
299
+
300
+ If you see 404 Not Found for `/auth/static/...`, ensure the StaticFiles mount path in your FastAPI router matches the URLs used in the template.
301
+
302
+ ## Logging & diagnostics
303
+
304
+ If `debug_logging = true` in config:
305
+
306
+ After successful bind, the manager logs which LDAP server was selected from the pool, e.g.:
307
+
308
+ ```log
309
+ LDAP bound to ldaps://ldap2.example.com:636 (pool_strategy=ROUND_ROBIN, start_tls=False)
310
+ ```
311
+ Optionally, it can log the authenticated identity via the LDAP `whoami` extended operation.
312
+
313
+ ## Security notes
314
+
315
+ - **Choose one TLS mode:** either `ldaps://...` or `ldap://` with `start_tls=true`. Mixing them is discouraged.
316
+ - Keep `verify_ssl = true` in production and ensure your trust store contains the issuing CA(s).
317
+ - Bind credentials should preferrably be supplied via `*_secret` indirection (Variables → Secrets Backend), not plaintext.
318
+
319
+ ## Troubleshooting
320
+
321
+ - **Can’t bind / invalid credentials:** test with `ldapsearch` using the same DN/password and base/filter.
322
+ - **User not found:** verify `user_search_base` and `user_search_filter` (remember `{username}` substitution).
323
+ - **Group mapping not applied:** confirm `group_search_base`, `group_member_attr`, and that your groups are in the configured bases.
324
+ - **TLS errors:** verify certificates and CA chain; ensure the hostname matches the server certificate CN/SAN.
325
+ - **Static assets 404:** check the FastAPI `StaticFiles` mount matches `/auth/static`.
