@vincbeck I was stumbling aver this today, I assume the type definition is not correct in the signature? I would assume the function returns User | None if user is not found as it then does not raise an exception?

Resolves #51362.
As mentioned in #51362, some users are frustrated because the way to generate a JWT token to call Airflow public API is not customizable like it used to be in Airflow 2. Some deployment managers want to allow users to use oauth to generate a token whereas the current implementation force them to use basic authentication.
Auth backends no longer exist in Airflow 3 but we need to find an alternative so that deployment managers can set their own logic in regards to JWT token generation to call Airflow API.
The solution is to create a new method in FAB auth manager
create_token. This method is called to generate a token from the create token API payload. Therefore, if a deployment manager wants to customize the way users are able to authenticate in order to generate a JWT token, they only need to override this new method.^ Add meaningful description above
