Do you mean a future new auth mechanism?

Currently we have published that enabling cookies was only required with 
auth_type = 'cookie'.  I am in favor of asking to enable cookies in all 
cases, it's just that we have to publish it evidently and do it soon, 
like in 2.8.2.

config.inc.php can store fixed auth data and we support this...
