 Nessie has multiple `NessieAuthenticationProvider` implementations that allow different client authentication mechanisms as can be seen below.
 The documentation for how to configure Nessie server authentication can be found [here](../try/authentication.md).
 
-The `BasicAuthenticationProvider` allows connecting to a Nessie server that has `BASIC` authentication enabled.
-Note that `BASIC` is not supported in production and should only be used for development/testing.

-Two other providers allow connecting to a Nessie server that has authentication enabled and expects
-a Bearer token to be provided in HTTP headers:
+When configured with authentication enabled, a Nessie server expects every HTTP request to contain a
