But Kerberos authentication is done in Apache and I configure a profile for that, so I needed to add: config.artifact.arg = X-Remote-User in my /etc/ovirt-engine/extensions.d/MyProfile.authn.properties. But this is missing from internal-authn.properties. So rexecutor at internal  is checked with my profil, and not found. But as the internal profil don't know about X-Remote-User, it can't check the user and fails silently. That's why I'm getting only one line. Perhaps the log line should have said the extensions name that was failing, not the generic "External Authentication" that did'nt caught my eye.

If I do what, in what order the different Authn will be tried ? Are they all tried until one succeed  both authn and authz ?

Yes you can have multiple authn profiles and it tries to login until
one succeed:

The order isn't guaranteed, but I think it's not important, or is it for you?
