Katello - Feature #34669: Upgrade to pulpcore 3.18
upgrading to pulpcore 3.18 *may* require a change to AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS
Description
Its unclear yet, but opening for documentation, we may need to update our pulp installation to use:
AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS = [
'django.contrib.auth.backends.RemoteUserBackend',
]
related to https://github.com/pulp/pulpcore/issues/2260
after some discussion we think its unlikley this will actually need to be done, but i wanted to open an issue to capture it in case it does.

I revised the Pulp docs here based on some of my testing: https://github.com/pulp/pulpcore/pull/2399/files
To recap the convo where we determined we don't think katello needs a change:
1. katello creates the 'admin' user in its installer (this is a django user in pulp's DB created with pulpcore-manager ...)
2. The external auth configured today is expected to receive the 'admin' user from the DB
3. Because the user exists in the DB, and that user is an admin, the default permission_classes of Pulp should continue to allow everything to work since admins pass all permissions checks.
