My bad Scott, apologies. I was looking in the wrong place. I didn't realize
the properties were mutually exclusive.

Regarding, X509 as initial authn, I'm just testing a use case where we want
to use certs for primary authn followed by another factor. That's where I
was trying to replicate the MCB stuff based on one of the documents in the
wiki. The idea is to get away from using password for authn. So, I'm trying
things out in my test environment.
