Problem/Motivation

Install Drupal
Enable Rest UI (HAL and Basic Auth modules are NOT enabled)
Visit /admin/config/services/rest ...

authentication: basic_auth
formats: hal_json

Neither of these options are available on ie admin/services/rest/resource/entity%3Anode/edit

This is not in line with the description on mentioned page either

Note: Leaving all formats unchecked will enable all of them, while leaving all authentication providers unchecked will default to cookie

Note cookie

Proposed resolution

Remaining tasks

User interface changes

Related issues: +#2065193: supported_formats and supported_auth should work in the same way, +#2318753: REST Module: Fix documentation that refers to enabling/disabling of modules

This is caused by the default rest config which thinks basic_auth and hal+json is best :-/

This probably be solved through #2308745: Remove rest.settings.yml, use rest_resource config entities

But should we fix these wrong options: basic_auth / hal+json?

Looks like this was fixed in #2575453: Remove message claiming defaults or make it work like its claim?
