Description

Fixes #379

Questions for reviewers

• Multiple authentication: I wanted to add this content because it helped me as I tried to understand the basic auth plugin. Does this belong on the Gateway Authentication landing page though?
• "You can delete a specific credential by sending a DELETE request to http(s)://<kong-host>:<admin-port>/consumers/<workspace>/<consumer_id_or_name>/<type of credentials>/<credentials_id_or_name>." This endpoint doesn't seem to be in any of the schemas. How do we add it?
• Basic auth use cases table: I made stub how tos for many of them. Is this a bad idea? Should I just describe more in detail in the table what to configure instead of having how tos?
• Stub how tos: Several of them need to be extrapolated, so there isn't one page to go for all the instructions, we would have to use the docs to figure out the instructions. Should these be stubs or should they be issues instead since the effort will be greater (and might require external SMEs)?
