Because OpenSearch Dashboards requires that the internal OpenSearch Dashboards server user can authenticate through HTTP basic authentication, you must configure two authentication domains. For OpenID Connect, the HTTP basic domain has to be placed first in the chain. Make sure you set the challenge flag to `false`.

Currently, the documentation says:

Is it (still?) true? Does OpenSearch Dashboards really require HTTP basic authentication? Even if, I am using client certificate to authenticate OpenSearch Dashboards server user?
