Description
### Current Behavior
**Problem:**
We aim to improve the security posture of our Dependency-Track instance by eliminating the option for username/password login. We want to enforce the use of stronger authentication methods such as OpenID Connect.
**Proposed Solution:**
Implement a configuration setting that allows administrators to completely disable username/password-based authentication. When this setting is active, users should only be able to log in via other configured authentication mechanisms (e.g., OpenID Connect).
**Context:**
Disabling traditional username/password login aligns with security best practices and mitigates risks associated with credential compromise.
### Proposed Behavior
Implement a configuration setting that allows administrators to completely disable username/password-based authentication. When this setting is active, users should only be able to log in via other configured authentication mechanisms (e.g., OpenID Connect).
