Description

Enabling API security involves minimally setting 2 args:

-enable_api_security=true
-http_authentication_mechanism=BASIC

This could open the possibility of confusing combinations of arguments that may behave in unexpected ways, or not work at all. Remove enable_api_security in favor of -http_authentication_mechanism=NONE, to be the default value.
