Warning

Authentication methods are evaluated in sequence.  The first method that returns successful authentication terminates the authentication process.  If a method returns an unsuccessful authentication, the process does not terminate, the next authentication method will be evaluated.  Consider the following scenario when provisioning authentication for OMK applications.

  1.  First authentication method: LDAP
  2.  Second authentication method: htpasswd
  3.  User Bob has an LDAP account and has a user in the htpasswd users file.
  4.  User Bob leaves the company
  5.  The IT department removes Bob's LDAP account assuming he will no longer be able to access corporate systems.
  6.  Bob will still be able to access OMK applications because there is a user Bob in the htpasswd user file.
