AuthenticationMechanisms Enumeration
When a request required authentication, but failed to authenticate, these are the different kinds of authentication mechanisms that the response can advertise back to the client. When multiple mechanisms are allowed for a URI, some may take precedence over others, and that order of precedence is not defined here. The obligation on the part of the authentication module is to be sure *not* to advertise themselves in the response when their mechanism is missing from the list.
This enumeration has a FlagsAttribute attribute that allows a bitwise combination of its member values.
