#### Authentication in RESTCatalog

This is great! A heads up, we recently merged a PR which added an "Authentication Options" section under the REST Catalog docs. Would be great to merge with what you have here.

See,
https://github.com/apache/iceberg-python/blob/main/mkdocs/docs/configuration.md#authentication-options


The RESTCatalog supports pluggable authentication via the `auth` configuration block. This allows you to specify which how the access token will be fetched and managed for use with the HTTP requests to the RESTCatalog server. The authentication method is selected by setting the `auth.type` property, and additional configuration can be provided as needed for each method.

##### Supported Authentication Types

- `noop`: No authentication (no Authorization header sent).
- `basic`: HTTP Basic authentication.
- `oauth2`: OAuth2 client credentials flow.
- `legacyoauth2`: Legacy OAuth2 client credentials flow (Deprecated and will be removed in PyIceberg 1.0.0)
- `custom`: Custom authentication manager (requires `auth.impl`).

##### Configuration Properties

The `auth` block is structured as follows:

```yaml
catalog:
default:
type: rest
uri: http://rest-catalog/ws/
auth:
type: <auth_type>
<auth_type>:
# Type-specific configuration
impl: <custom_class_path> # Only for custom auth
```

**Property Reference:**

| Property | Required | Description |
|------------------|----------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| `auth.type` | Yes | The authentication type to use (`noop`, `basic`, `oauth2`, or `custom`). |

on review I was debating the necessity of a separate type config given an impl option, but I can see the appeal (we are free to change the implementation referred to by a given type).

we have similar pattern to load "custom" implementation for catalog/file_io/location_provider :)
https://grep.app/search?f.repo=apache%2Ficeberg-python&f.repo.pattern=iceberg&q=def+_import_

| `auth.impl` | Conditionally | The fully qualified class path for a custom AuthManager. Required if `auth.type` is `custom`. |
| `auth.basic` | If type is `basic` | Block containing `username` and `password` for HTTP Basic authentication. |
| `auth.oauth2` | If type is `oauth2` | Block containing OAuth2 configuration (see below). |
| `auth.custom` | If type is `custom` | Block containing configuration for the custom AuthManager. |

##### Examples

**No Authentication:**

```yaml
auth:
type: noop
```

**Basic Authentication:**

```yaml
auth:
type: basic
basic:
username: myuser
password: mypass
```

**OAuth2 Authentication:**

```yaml
auth:
type: oauth2
oauth2:
client_id: my-client-id
client_secret: my-client-secret
token_url: https://auth.example.com/oauth/token
scope: read
refresh_margin: 60 # (optional) seconds before expiry to refresh
expires_in: 3600 # (optional) fallback if server does not provide
```

**Custom Authentication:**

```yaml
auth:
type: custom
impl: mypackage.module.MyAuthManager
custom:
property1: value1
property2: value2
```

##### Notes

- If `auth.type` is `custom`, you **must** specify `auth.impl` with the full class path to your custom AuthManager.
- If `auth.type` is not `custom`, specifying `auth.impl` is not allowed.
- The configuration block under each type (e.g., `basic`, `oauth2`, `custom`) is passed as keyword arguments to the corresponding AuthManager.

### SQL Catalog

The SQL catalog requires a database for its backend. PyIceberg supports PostgreSQL and SQLite through psycopg2. The database connection has to be configured using the `uri` property. The init_catalog_tables is optional and defaults to True. If it is set to False, the catalog tables will not be created when the SQLCatalog is initialized. See SQLAlchemy's [documentation for URL format](https://docs.sqlalchemy.org/en/20/core/engines.html#backend-specific-urls):

The comparison auth_type is not CUSTOM uses identity comparison with a string literal. This should use inequality comparison (!=) instead since auth_type comes from dictionary input and may not be the same string object.

Suggested change
if auth_type is not CUSTOM and auth_impl:
if auth_type != CUSTOM and auth_impl:

should we let users provide these 2 separately? or parse them out from credential based on https://github.com/apache/iceberg-python/blob/main/mkdocs/docs/configuration.md#oauth2

there are a couple of options in the oauth section
token
credential
scope
resource
audience

LegacyOAuth2AuthManager currently supports this, so i think we should support them in the new implementation too
WDYT?
