This has always been the case: as long as the repo is not available, the
user/pw configured with the web console is used, once the repo is there,
repo auth is used
This is still the case - the new security provider 2 which is using the
sling login but also the repo for auth, is the one which is installed after
startup is finished - but that does not change the credentials:

So today the order is
1. configured user/pw
2. repo ready: repo but basic auth
3. startup finish: repo with sling login

Before it was just 1. and 2.
