Hi Giacinto,

Reading through your patches, I'm missing an overarching explanation of why we need this.  Do you really have an LTE network in range that requires authentication for the default APN?  What happens if authentication fails... are you connected to an alternative APN automatically, with other service parameters? What indication is available to the user if authentication fails?

added 4 properties for handling the type of context and the
authentication method, exactly like in any gprs context handling.
The properties are named after the equivalent gprs-context one, for
compatibility and uniformity.
