…ting This disclaimer clarifies that the plugin doesn't independently test all possible barman-cloud authentication methods. The plugin's responsibility is limited to passing provided credentials to barman-cloud, which then handles authentication according to its own implementation.

The plugin's responsibility is limited to passing the provided credentials to barman-cloud, which then handles authentication according to its own implementation.
