| <h3>Summary</h3> |
| |
| <p>This module provides authorization capabilities so that |
| authenticated users can be allowed or denied access to portions |
| of the web site by group membership. Similar functionality is |
| provided by <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_authz_groupfile.html">mod_authz_groupfile</a></code> and |
| <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_authz_dbm.html">mod_authz_dbm</a></code>, with the exception that |
| this module queries a SQL database to determine whether a |
| user is a member of a group.</p> |
| <p>This module can also provide database-backed user login/logout |
| capabilities. These are likely to be of most value when used |
| in conjunction with <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_authn_dbd.html">mod_authn_dbd</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> |
| In addition to the standard authorization function of checking group |
| membership, this module can also provide server-side user session |
| management via database-backed login/logout capabilities. |
| Specifically, it can update a user's session status in the database |
| whenever the user visits designated URLs (subject of course to users |
| supplying the necessary credentials).</p> |
| <p>This works by defining two special |
| <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mod_authz_core.html#require">Require</a></code> types: |
| <code>Require dbd-login</code> and <code>Require dbd-logout</code>. |
| For usage details, see the configuration example below.</p> |
| </div><div class="top"><a href="#page-header"><img alt="top" src="../images/up.gif" /></a></div> |
| <div class="section"> |
| <h2><a name="client" id="client">Client Login</a></h2> |
| |
| <p>Some administrators may wish to implement client-side session |
| management that works in concert with the server-side login/logout |
| capabilities offered by this module, for example, by setting or unsetting |
| an HTTP cookie or other such token when a user logs in or out. |
| To support such integration, <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_authz_dbd.html">mod_authz_dbd</a></code> exports an |
| optional hook that will be run whenever a user's status is updated in |
| the database. Other session management modules can then use the hook |
| to implement functions that start and end client-side sessions.</p> |

| <p>The <code class="directive">AuthzDBDQuery</code> specifies an SQL |
| query to run. The purpose of the query depends on the |
| <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mod_authz_core.html#require">Require</a></code> directive in |
| effect.</p> |
| <ul> |
| <li>When used with a <code>Require dbd-group</code> directive, |

| the standard functionality of other authorization modules such as |
| <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_authz_groupfile.html">mod_authz_groupfile</a></code> and <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_authz_dbm.html">mod_authz_dbm</a></code>. |
| The first column value of each row returned by the query statement |
| should be a string containing a group name. Zero, one, or more rows |
| may be returned. |
| <div class="example"><h3>Example</h3><pre> |
| Require dbd-group |
| AuthzDBDQuery \ |
| "SELECT group FROM groups WHERE user = %s" |

| </li> |
| <li>When used with a <code>Require dbd-login</code> or |
| <code>Require dbd-logout</code> directive, it will never deny access, |
| but will instead execute a SQL statement designed to log the user |
| in or out. The user must already be authenticated with |
