Is AuthenticationManager obsolete #77459
Description
Edited by @MihaZupan to add the proposed obsoletion changes to the API.
The AuthenticationManager class currently has Obsolete annotations on two of its methods, where the rest of them are no-ops.
public partial class AuthenticationManager
{
internal AuthenticationManager() { }
// You can get/set these, but nothing else will consume them.
public static System.Net.ICredentialPolicy? CredentialPolicy { get { throw null; } set { } }
public static System.Collections.Specialized.StringDictionary CustomTargetNameDictionary { get { throw null; } }
// These are no-op
public static System.Collections.IEnumerator RegisteredModules { get { throw null; } }
public static void Register(System.Net.IAuthenticationModule authenticationModule) { }
public static void Unregister(System.Net.IAuthenticationModule authenticationModule) { }
public static void Unregister(string authenticationScheme) { }
// These are marked as Obsolete and throw PlatformNotSupportedException
[System.ObsoleteAttribute("The AuthenticationManager Authenticate and PreAuthenticate methods are not supported and throw PlatformNotSupportedException.", DiagnosticId = "SYSLIB0009", UrlFormat = "https://aka.ms/dotnet-warnings/{0}")]
public static System.Net.Authorization? Authenticate(string challenge, System.Net.WebRequest request, System.Net.ICredentials credentials) { throw null; }
[System.ObsoleteAttribute("The AuthenticationManager Authenticate and PreAuthenticate methods are not supported and throw PlatformNotSupportedException.", DiagnosticId = "SYSLIB0009", UrlFormat = "https://aka.ms/dotnet-warnings/{0}")]
public static System.Net.Authorization? PreAuthenticate(System.Net.WebRequest request, System.Net.ICredentials credentials) { throw null; }
}I propose we move the [Obsolete] annotation to the whole class.
We can use the existing diagnostic ID and update the message.
[System.ObsoleteAttribute(
"AuthenticationManager is not supported. Methods will no-op or throw PlatformNotSupportedException.",
DiagnosticId = "SYSLIB0009",
UrlFormat = "https://aka.ms/dotnet-warnings/{0}")]

Package Version(s)
.Net 6
Additional details
I am not quite sure if this is the right place to ask this question. Please redirect me to the right place if I am wrong.
So, when I tried out System.Net.AuthenticationManager Class, .Net Core 6 shows different behaviors with .Net Framework 4.8. The RegisteredModules properties are empty by default in .Net Core 6 and even I register a new module, it is still empty. So have System.Net.AuthenticationManager already been deprecated?
