Hi;

There is an explanation at https://slurm.schedmd.com/quickstart_admin.html

"The configure script in the top-level directory of this distribution 
will determine which authentication plugins may be built."

If you have munge, may be the configure script decided to not compile 
the auth/none plugin. But, I am not tested this.
