System default: Use default authentication method.

None: No authentication method is used.

Trusted: Password-less authentication for predefined administrative user account.

Delegated: SAML-based authentication and authorization for the currently logged in user.

Fixed user: Authenticate the specified administrative user credentials. Provide a user name and password for the user.
