	<title>Overview</title>
	<para>
	    This module contains all authentication related functions that need
	    the access to the database. This module should be used together
	    with auth module, it cannot be used independently because it
	    depends on the module. Select this module if you want to use
	    database to store authentication information like subscriber
	    usernames and passwords. If you want to use radius authentication,
	    then use auth_radius instead.
