httpd: make open access explicit via AllowAllAuthenticator#44
Merged
Conversation
Previously an empty authenticators list silently allowed all requests, making any future code path that fails to push an authenticator a latent open-access bug. The middleware now always iterates and fails closed on an empty list; --insecure and the mTLS-only path push an explicit AllowAllAuthenticator instead.
