[STR New]

I have set up a CUPS server to support kerberos authentication for both
printing and web interface. However, I would still like to have a fallback
(basic/password) authentication method for the following use cases:
* user authentication from non-kerberized clients
* authentication for administration tasks (users in the @SYSTEM group have
to authenticate to the local password database of the server).

In general, it would be helpful to have a stack of authentication
mechanisms to try before giving up.
