Description

Plugins can't easily extend authentications with their own means of authentication if SSL is used. The reason is that #authorize_with_ssl_client before block would always fail on SSL if no client is available. In REX there are use cases where REX core worker is authenticated differently (looking at serial number or using token). The authentication methods should not run if other authentication method already succeeded. That will also help to avoid running both trusted hosts and ssl auth methods that are built in proxy.

The proposal was not considered good enough, the authorization mechanism needs a modular and plugin-friendly approach. https://github.com/theforeman/smart-proxy/pull/550
