Describe the Scenario
Because its not possible to activate multiple authentication methods at the same time, I would like to workaround this issue.
Is it possible to run multiple instances on the same database?
Our main instance is using OIDC ( AUTH_METHOD=oidc ).
Can we setup a second instance which is configured to AUTH_METHOD=standard with the same database like the OIDC instance?
We would like to ensure that the bookstack instance will remain accessible when OIDC provider is not available.
Will there be any problems when we are using multiple instances ?
Edit: And we would like to use the second instance to test roles and rights with local db users.

It's technically possible to run multiple instances on the same DB but it's not something I'd consider supported, nor something I'd recommend, especially if they're on different URLs.
With some hackery and PHP knowledge it might be possible to do something using our logical theme system to hook in early and change auth method depending on details in the request (Param, cookie, IP, query param etc...) but some additional hackery may be needed to carry that through the auth process.
Again, not really something that's supported or advised, not something I've validated. It's just an idea. Might be logical issues and edge cases when dynamically jumping between auth systems like that.
You could also maybe control the
AUTH_METHODvia environment variable from external system (proxy, webserver) but again would need some persistence, at least to carry you through the auth cycle.@ssddanbrown commented on GitHub (Aug 2, 2023):
Since the question has been answered, and there's been no further follow up, I'll close this off.
