add #

Adds a new authentication strategy.

Users can be authenticated using this new strategy as soon as this method resolves.

If the strategy to be added already exists, the old one will be removed first, unless it has been registered by another plugin.

In a cluster environment, the new strategy is automatically added to all server nodes.
