I'm not saying you have to use ones or the others. All four methods should be
present:
* `identityName` and `credentialName` are mandatory for all ApiMetadata
classes. They are just labels that define the format of the identity and
credential so users know what to put there when creating the context. They're
just labels to give a hint and allow, for example, tooling to prompt for the
right thing.
* `defaultIdentity` and `defaultCredential` are default values to set for the
identity and credential fields, if that makes sense, in case the user does not
supply one of them. These are optional as in most apis/providers users are
required both the identity and the credential.
In this case, as the credentials are not used, you have to set all four methods
in your api metadata, in order to configure a default dummy credentials so the
user does not have to provide them (which would be useless and confusing) when
creating the context.
