Description

Clarify that in high scale scenarios an external authentication system is really needed for proper operation.

Note that the local authentication provider is already discouraged also in general:

In most cases, you should use an external authentication service over local authentication, as external authentication allows user management from a central location. However, you may want a few local authentication users for managing Rancher under rare circumstances, such as if your external authentication provider is unavailable or undergoing maintenance.

This is about making it clearer for high scale scenarios.

Comments

This applies to all versions current and future - for the time being I changed all files identically and opened this PR against the main branch.
