• basic - Uses basic authentication with a (typically non-expiring) username and password

• header - Uses a token, but passes it to the server via a custom header which is named with the authHeaderKey property of the config
• header - Uses a token, but passes it to the server via a query string entry which is named with the queryStringKey property of the config
• cookies - Sends the cookie which is keyed under the authenticationKey property (default value is 'SOFETCH_AUTHENTICATION')
• null - Does not send authentication credentials to the server
