> It would be really helpful to have a "chain" of authentication modules, where if the first one fails a second one is queried.
> The main use-case here is if one has LDAP user auth configured (typical corporate environment), but also needs a few technical users (like a Jenkins instance) which are not in the corporate LDAP. 
> A side benefit for that is, that one can hard-code a "backup-administrator" which can be used, if one accidentally breaks the LDAP configuration or if the LDAP isn't available at all.
