23 * Authentication plugin interface. Instantiate a subclass of AuthPlugin

27 * database for all authentication. A subclass can require that all
28 * accounts authenticate externally, or use it only as a fallback; also
29 * you can transparently create internal wiki accounts the first time
30 * someone logs in who can be authenticated externally.
