Mixed Auth via Leafnodes

Server A starts with basic auth:

port = 4222

leaf {
  port = 7422
}

authorization {
  users = [{ user: 'A', pass: 'A'}]
}

Second server has a leafnode connection that bounds it to a local account:

leaf {
  remotes = [
    {
      url: "nats://127.0.0.1:7422"
      account: "A"
    }
  ]
}

accounts {
  A { users = [{ user: 'A', pass: 'A'}]}
}

Server A starts exposing the leafnode connection, then Server B connects to it:

nats-server -c a.conf  -DV
