Just checking if multiple authentication methods can be enabled in shiny proxy

[subbareddyalamur1]

Hello,

Regarding https://www.shinyproxy.io/documentation/configuration/#authentication, do you see any feasibility to add multiple authentication methods simultaneously ? Currently we can only use 1 method.

Thanks

Hi @subbareddyalamur1

a pattern that is often used is to run multiple shiny-proxy instances configured with different auth methods in parallel and host them under different subpaths or domains.

Supporting multiple auth sources from a single instance would add a lot of complexity (e.g. in how to resolve overlapping users)
