<h3>Summary</h3>

    <p>This module provides authentication front-ends such as
    <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_auth_digest.html">mod_auth_digest</a></code> and <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_auth_basic.html">mod_auth_basic</a></code>
    to authenticate users by looking up users in SQL tables.
    Similar functionality is provided by, for example,
    <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_authn_file.html">mod_authn_file</a></code>.</p>
    <p>This module relies on <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_dbd.html">mod_dbd</a></code> to specify
    the backend database driver and connection parameters, and
    manage the database connections.</p>

    <p>When using <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_auth_basic.html">mod_auth_basic</a></code> or
    <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_auth_digest.html">mod_auth_digest</a></code>, this module is invoked via the
    <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mod_auth_basic.html#authbasicprovider">AuthBasicProvider</a></code> or
    <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mod_auth_digest.html#authdigestprovider">AuthDigestProvider</a></code>
    with the <code>dbd</code> value.</p>

    <p>The <code class="directive">AuthDBDUserPWQuery</code> specifies an
    SQL query to look up a password for a specified user.
    The query must take a single string (typically SQL varchar)
    argument (username), and return a single value (encrypted password).

    AuthDBDUserPWQuery "SELECT password FROM authn WHERE username = %s"
