Many REST service integration use cases require complex combinations of authentication methods.
One example endpoint requires:
* Getting a JWT from the webservice requires basic authentication
* To query for other data requires anonymous authentication with the "Authorize:Bearer <token>" header
* The JWT needs to be renewed every hour
Currently, the REST driver only handles ONE auth method at a time only, and is only configurable as driver properties.
Adding flexibility to let auth methods/configuration be controllable via driver operation-data, would allow for a policy managed setup, making it a lot more flexible and allow for more complex use cases.

The SOAP web service to CHRIS 21 HR system requires tokens with an expiry time.
The Rapid Global Rapid Access platform has a REST web service and also requires authentication tokens with an expiry. Support for token expiry is required for both the SOAP and REST drivers.
