Authentication API broken missing documentation

[qgib]

Author Name: Bernhard Ströbl (Bernhard Ströbl)
Original Redmine Issue: 17384
Affected QGIS version: master
Redmine category:authentication_system
Assignee: Alessandro Pasotti

---

I cannot convince freshly compiled current master 1ffc3fd to save an authentication database.
Furthermore the Python access to QgsAuthManager via @QgsAuthManager.instance()@ seems broken, too:
error is: @type object 'QgsAuthManager' has no attribute 'instance'@

Nothing is broken: the API has changed, I'll complete the docs but for now: just do QgsApplication.authManager()

Allesandro, is @QgsApplication.authManager()@ the recommended method for QGIS3?
But the Python problem is minor, the main problem is, that no auth-db is saved.

It's the only method: QgsAccessManager cannot be accesed directly anymore.

Can you please open a separate issue for the DB not saved and describe step-by-step how to reproduce it?

on my behalf we can but should keep in mind to add the info on the site listing api breaks (or do we need a new ticket for that?)
