    description: Salted Challenge Response Authentication Mechanism (RFC5802, RFC7804)
    flow: |
      1. Hello Handshake: Client sends hello message with username
      2. Server responds with supported authentication mechanisms
      3. Authentication Exchange: Client picks mechanism and exchanges messages
      4. Server sends auth token if authentication successful
      5. Client uses auth token (bearer token) for future requests
    notes: Uses HTTP Authentication framework (RFC7235) with SCRAM mechanism
  - name: PLAINTEXT
    type: http
    description: Plaintext authentication (less secure, for testing)
    flow: Similar to SCRAM but with plaintext credentials
    notes: Defined in Haystack specification but less secure than SCRAM

    description: Auth token obtained after successful authentication
