Use multiple authentication methods Merged

Add support for using multiple authentication methods, e.g. combining both Spotfire Database and LDAP Directory.

    Actually, SPF-I-676 and SPF-I-932 is not about the same thing.

    The HTTP Basic/HTML Form authentication method (also known as username and password authentication) is being used for both Spotfire database accounts and LDAP accounts. SPF-I-932 is about combining for example HTTP Basic/HTML Form authentication with Kerberos authentication.

    We have added support for combining Spotfire database accounts with LDAP accounts to 7.11, so I suggest rephrasing this idea and "unmerging" the two ideas. This idea can then be "closed" (or whatever the appropriate action is).

    And Christian is correct, the Sites feature can be used in current systems to fix the problem described in SPF-I-932, but it is not the real solution to the problem. That remains to be implemented.

    Christian, I'm interested to know what you would like to have seen differently, or what you were hoping for. I sent you an email

    I think this is implemented in 7.9 with the new Sites feature. Not exactly what we were hoping for but there it is anyway.
