If the user is not authenticated and is not trying to log in in the
current request, nothing happens; the WSGI application will work as
usual. The challenger only comes into play when so is requested by the
WSGI application (the identifier has no influence); by default it
happens when the application itself returns 401.

Or in a graphical way, this is what happens before your application
receives the request:

And this is what happens after your application returns a response:
