On the airflow connector for datahub I see a password field. Does this secure the GMS backend? And if so where is that set at deployment?
Which password are you exactly referring to?
https://datahubproject.io/docs/lineage/airflow/
on this page if you scroll to the step 3. where you can configure they hook for datahub for rest there’s an “optional” datahub auth token
And if so, how do I get the auth token?
you need to set a personal access token to the password field.
Here is how you can generate -> https://datahubproject.io/docs/authentication/personal-access-tokens/
when I set that up does that mean that if I publish the GMS API on a public IP address or domain, I would need this token… or do I need to set something to secure it?
it’s ok I think I have found it https://datahubproject.io/docs/authentication/introducing-metadata-service-authentication
