Inconsistent Authentication Mechanism: Mixed Use of HTTPBasicCredentials and APIKeyHeader

[touale]

The current authentication implementation uses both HTTPBasicCredentials and APIKeyHeader at the same time. This mixed approach introduces potential risks of inconsistency, where different authentication methods may behave differently or lead to ambiguous authorization results under certain scenarios.

In addition, maintaining and configuring multiple authentication mechanisms increases overall complexity. This makes the system harder to understand, configure, and extend, and also raises the likelihood of misconfiguration or bugs in future changes.

Impact:

• Possible inconsistent authentication/authorization behavior
• Increased configuration and maintenance complexity
• Higher cognitive load for developers and operators
• Greater risk of security issues caused by misconfiguration

Recommendation:
It is recommended to unify the authentication mechanism and use a single, consistent approach
