When using Multiple Authentication and the OR rule, does Kong wait until all Auth servers respond?

When using Multiple Authentication and the OR rule, does Kong wait until all Auth servers respond or does Kong forward to upstream once one of the servers response. Also, is this a parallel or sequential operation?

Could you elaborate on what you mean by “Multiple Authentication”?

Are you enabling multiple auth plugins in Kong or have you written a custom auth plugin?

Hi guys,

Is it possible to have multiple, alternative authentication plugins securing the same API?

For example, allow both Basic Auth and ODIC authentication, if the header is passed as:

  1. Authentication: “Basic Something”, Basic Authentication will verify and oidc will ignore
  2. Authentication: “Bearer Something”, Basic Authentication will ignore and oidc will verify

if the above is not supported, any other way where I can use the two authentication plugin in the same route in OR condition

Note: I cannot use consumers
