Description

New Feature / Enhancement Checklist
Current Limitation

Auth adapters provide great support for authentication, however, they are not always needed and can introduce unnecessary dependancies.

Feature / Enhancement Description

Auth Adapter configuration should be similar to creating a S3 File Adapter, with no auth adapters used by default to reduce the project size.

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating auth adapter configuration and the default authentication dependencies in the Parse Server repository; determine the supported configuration shape and dependency-removal scope. Done means auth adapters are not used by default while explicit configuration can still enable them, with relevant tests passing.
