From 95a26f5236503b564100ff82496dbdca14ea5782 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Marco Nenciarini Date: Fri, 9 Jan 2026 14:29:06 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] docs(authentication): add disclaimer about authentication methods testing (#716) This PR adds a disclaimer to the object stores documentation clarifying that the Barman Cloud Plugin does not independently test all authentication methods supported by barman-cloud. The plugin's responsibility is limited to passing the provided credentials to barman-cloud, which then handles authentication according to its own implementation. This documentation change was decided by the maintainers as part of the discussion around Azure Default Credentials support (#662).
