Feature
When using PKCE to facilitate authentication, owners and admins can still create username/password-based users if they choose to enable
DISPATCH_AUTH_REGISTRATION_ENABLED
. These types of users make it much simpler to introduce API-based interactions.Presently, if a username/password-based user attempts to authenticate in a PKCE auth strategy, their supplied auth token lacks the necessary properties to fulfill the token & erroneously fails.
Changes
This introduces a simple fallback check to see if the supplied token fulfills PKCE needs. If it doesn't, it falls back to Basic Auth.
