accepted and the password is put into the environment variable REMOTE_PASSWORD.

The SQL-select used for retrieving the passwords is as follows:

 SELECT pwd_field FROM pwd_table WHERE uid_field = user

If a pwd_whereclause exists, it is appended to the SQL-select.

This module supports in addition a simple kind of logging mechanism. Whenever
the handler is called and a log_string is configured, the log_field will be
updated with the log_string. As log_string - depending upon the database -
macros like TODAY can be used.

The SQL-select used for the logging mechanism is as follows:

 UPDATE pwd_table SET log_field = log_string WHERE uid_field = user

Authorization:

When the authorization handler is called, the authentication has already been
done. This means, that the given username/password has been validated.
