Based on the information provided in the knowledge sources, it appears that Airbyte has recently added native authentication for its open-source (OSS) version. However, the specific details about integrating this authentication with Airflow's Airbyte operator are not explicitly covered in the given documents. Let me provide you with the most relevant information I can find: 1. Airbyte now has built-in authentication based on an email and generated password for its OSS version [Documentation > Deploying-airbyte > Integrations > Authentication](https://docs.airbyte.com/deploying-airbyte/integrations/authentication). 2. For the Airbyte Airflow Operator, there is a parameter called
airbyte_conn_id
which is described as the "Name of the Airflow HTTP Connection pointing at the Airbyte API" [Documentation > Operator-guides > Using the Airbyte Operator to orchestrate Airbyte OSS](https://docs.airbyte.com/operator-guides/using-the-airflow-airbyte-operator#creating-a-simple-airflow-dag-to-run-an-airbyte-sync-job). 3. In a tutorial example, there's a mention of an Airflow connection named 'airflow-call-to-airbyte-example' being used for the
airbyte_conn_id
[Tutorials > Airflow and Airbyte OSS - Better Together](https://airbyte.com/tutorials/how-to-use-airflow-and-airbyte-together). Given this information, it seems that you would need to: 1. Ensure your Airbyte instance has authentication enabled. 2. Create an Airflow connection that includes the authentication credentials for Airbyte. 3. Use this connection ID in your Airbyte operator configuration. However, I don't have specific instructions on how to set up this authenticated connection in Airflow for Airbyte. You might need to consult Airflow's documentation on how to create an HTTP connection with authentication, and then use Airbyte's credentials in that connection. If you need more detailed instructions, I recommend reaching out to Airbyte's support or community forums for the most up-to-date information on integrating Airbyte's authentication with Airflow.
