Apache Airflow Azure AAD SSO howto
Raw
apache_airflow_sso_howto.md

The following instructions for enabling Azure SSO for Apache Airflow nearly take you all the way - but fall short a couple of details around the configuration of airflow itself:

https://objectpartners.com/2021/12/24/enterprise-auth-for-airflow-azure-ad

All the "Azure" instructions there can be safely followed - the resulting webserver_config.py (which can be injected into a dockerised Airflow in /opt/airflow/webserver_config.py) can be built from the following:

from __future__ import annotations

import os

from airflow.www.fab_security.manager import AUTH_OAUTH
from airflow.www.security import AirflowSecurityManager
from airflow.utils.log.logging_mixin import LoggingMixin

basedir = os.path.abspath(os.path.dirname(__file__))

# Flask-WTF flag for CSRF
WTF_CSRF_ENABLED = True
WTF_CSRF_TIME_LIMIT = None

AUTH_TYPE = AUTH_OAUTH

OAUTH_PROVIDERS = [{
    'name':'Microsoft Azure AD',
    'token_key':'access_token',
    'icon':'fa-windows',
    'remote_app': {
        'api_base_url': "https://login.microsoftonline.com/{}".format(os.getenv("AAD_TENANT_ID")),
        'request_token_url': None,
        'request_token_params': {
            'scope': 'openid email profile'
        },
        'access_token_url': "https://login.microsoftonline.com/{}/oauth2/v2.0/token".format(os.getenv("AAD_TENANT_ID")),
        "access_token_params": {
            'scope': 'openid email profile'
        },
        'authorize_url': "https://login.microsoftonline.com/{}/oauth2/v2.0/authorize".format(os.getenv("AAD_TENANT_ID")),
        "authorize_params": {
            'scope': 'openid email profile'
        },
        'client_id': os.getenv("AAD_CLIENT_ID"),
        'client_secret': os.getenv("AAD_CLIENT_SECRET"),
        'jwks_uri': 'https://login.microsoftonline.com/common/discovery/v2.0/keys'
    }
}]

AUTH_USER_REGISTRATION_ROLE = "Public"
AUTH_USER_REGISTRATION = True
AUTH_ROLES_SYNC_AT_LOGIN = True
AUTH_ROLES_MAPPING = {
    "airflow_prod_admin": ["Admin"],
    "airflow_prod_user": ["Op"],
    "airflow_prod_viewer": ["Viewer"]
}

class AzureCustomSecurity(AirflowSecurityManager, LoggingMixin):
    def get_oauth_user_info(self, provider, response=None):
        me = self._azure_jwt_token_parse(response["id_token"])
        return {
            "name": me["name"],
            "email": me["email"],
            "first_name": me["given_name"],
            "last_name": me["family_name"],
            "id": me["oid"],
            "username": me["preferred_username"],
            "role_keys": me["roles"]
        }

# the first of these two appears to work with older Airflow versions, the latter newer.
FAB_SECURITY_MANAGER_CLASS = 'webserver_config.AzureCustomSecurity'
SECURITY_MANAGER_CLASS = AzureCustomSecurity

The above assumes environment variables are configured for the OAuth client secret, etc - and has been tested thoroughly and confirmed working.

Note the roles need to match what you configured in Azure (the example above is using airflow_prod_user etc, in deviation to the linked article above).

I have followed all the steps, but when I access my airflow, i still see the default airflow authentication method, although the URI changes but nothing else happens, its not redirecting or letting me authenticate using sso, any more steps you followed which missed out in the above conversations?
would really appreciate if some one could help me fix this.

Hello @drivard @nmaster @ctrongminh
I am using Airflow 2.9.3 with Helm 1.15
I have followed your procedure, but stuck with below error from the webserver pod.

Error authorizing OAuth access token: Invalid JSON Web Key Set.

This is what is reflecting in the UI : The request to sign in was denied

This is what I have configured in Azure Enterprise App:
Identifier (Entity ID) :: https://airflow.xyz.com/
Reply URL (Assertion Consumer Service URL) :: https://airflow.xyz.com/oauth-authorized/azure
Sign on URL :: https://airflow.xyz.com/login/
Relay State (Optional) :: https://airflow.xyz.com/home
Logout Url (Optional) :: https://airflow.xyz.com/logout

Below is my webserver_config.py

Thank you @vdozal . This was really helpful.

I am using almost same configuration except for the environment variables (but I am ignoring it for now.) .
Can you please help me to understand an issue with role_keys given below?

Let me explain the flow. un-wanted code is removed for clarity.

....
AUTH_USER_REGISTRATION_ROLE = "Public"
....
AUTH_ROLES_MAPPING = {
        "Entra ID admin Role": ["Admin"],
        "Entra ID viewer Role": ["Viewer"],
        "Entra ID Op Role": ["Op"],
 }
...
  class AzureCustomSecurity(FabAirflowSecurityManagerOverride,.....
............
 return {
            ................
                "role_keys": me.get("role_keys", ["airflow_public"])
            }

My observation is, inside the return block, even through "role_keys" is having Admin/Ops role values from Azure , its always selecting the role assigned for AUTH_USER_REGISTRATION_ROLE = "XXX" and the UI renders accordingly.

Log statements for me object is showing all correct values that are received from Azure.

Is there anything I am missing in this case ? My understanding is, whatever the role_keys inside the return block is set, the same role should be applied while rendering the UI.

@vdozal loading the AAD values from a secret with this values and it works:

webserver:
  webserverConfigConfigMapName: webserver-config-custom
  env:
    - name: AAD_TENANT_ID
      valueFrom:
        secretKeyRef:
          name: airflow-aad
          key: aad_tenant_id
    - name: AAD_CLIENT_ID
      valueFrom:
        secretKeyRef:
          name: airflow-aad
          key: aad_client_id
    - name: AAD_CLIENT_SECRET
      valueFrom:
        secretKeyRef:
          name: airflow-aad
          key: aad_client_secret

Does anyone know how I can get the REST API working as well?

My users will not have user and password, which doesn't allow me to use a basic auth provider. session backend probably works in the browser because it does some magic with the cookies, but I would like to call the REST API using curl
