Description

When task is not registered, authentication user is not taken from "auth for" parameter.
Instead the user which is executing the task is used.

auth for => qr/task/ =>
            user => $user,
            password => $password;
    }


run_task "task", on => $srv;


task "task", sub {
    run "id";
}, { dont_register => 1 };

Research direction

No files or tests are named. Start by reproducing the Perl example with auth for and dont_register enabled, then trace how task registration affects authentication selection. Done means the credentials from auth for are used even when the task is not registered.
