This proper is a PITA. You're absolutely right about it being so confusing. Let me describe this issue in more detail.
There are two levels of code dealing with authentication in the server. One is deep in the core in the AuthenticationInterceptor which determines if anonymous access is allowed. Another is more on the surface in the front end where the protocols manage authentication. We need to consolidate these or figure out how to just let the protocol service configuration drive the behavior deep in the AuthenticationInterceptor. I would like to do an audit on this stuff at some point before the big bang is over but I don't have the time myself at this stage to do it. The sooner we fix it the better though since then there are less tests and code out there that depend on this convoluted configuration.
