Hi Andrew, here's a general idea at how it could work:
If you model each authentication method as a `Directive1[Session]` that returns the session (or user, principal, etc.) for that authentication method and all of the directive return the a value of the same type or a type with a common supertype then you can combine each of those directives with `|`: def authentication: Directive1[Session] = cookieAuthentication | tokenAuthentication | basicAuthentication The first one will be used with highest precedence and the other ones will only be tried if all the previous once have rejected the request. Is that what you are looking for?
