All the directives understood by this version of mod-auth-mysql are listed
below.  The huge number of synonym directives is due to the merging of two
separate versions of the program, both of which had subtly different usage
symantics.  I'm sure there will be rationalisation in the near future.

Auth_MySQL_Info <host> <user> <password>
	Server-wide config option to specify the database host, username,
	and password used to connect to the MySQL server.

	This option affects all directories which do not override it via
	AuthMySQL_Host, AuthMySQL_User, and/or AuthMySQL_Password.

AuthMySQL_DefaultHost <hostname>
	Specifies the MySQL server to use for authentication.
	
	This option affects all directories which do not override it via
	AuthMySQL_Host.

AuthMySQL_Host <hostname>
	Synonym for AuthMySQL_DefaultHost, to be used in .htaccess files and
	directory-specific entries.

Auth_MySQL_DefaultPort <portnum>
	Specifies a port to use to talk to a MySQL server.  If left empty,
	the default (3306) will be used.

	This option affects all directories which do not override it via
	Auth_MySQL_Port.

Auth_MySQL_Port <portnum>
	Specifies a non-default port to use (other than 3306) when talking
	to the MySQL server on AuthMySQL_Host or AuthMySQL_DefaultHost.

Auth_MySQL_DefaultSocket <socketname>
	If using a local MySQL server, you can
	specify a non-default named pipe to use instead of the default pipe
	name compiled into your MySQL client library.

	This option affects all directories which do not override it via
	Auth_MySQL_Socket.

Auth_MySQL_Socket <socketname>
	If using a local MySQL server, you can specify a non-default named
	pipe to use instead of the default one compiled into MySQL with this
	option.

AuthMySQL_DefaultUser <username>
	Specifies the username for connection to the MySQL server.

AuthMySQL_User <username>
	Synonym for AuthMySQL_DefaultUser, to be used in .htaccess files and
	directory-specific entries.
	
AuthMySQL_DefaultPassword <password>
	Specifies the password user together with the above user.

AuthMySQL_Password <password>
	Synonym for AuthMySQL_Password, to be used in .htaccess files and
	directory-specific entries.

Auth_MySQL_General_DB <database_name>
	Server-wide, specifies a default database name to use.

Auth_MySQL_DB <database_name>
	Synonym for Auth_MySQL_General_DB, to be used in .htaccess files and
	directory-specific entries.

AuthMySQL_DefaultDB <database_name>
	Synonym for Auth_MySQL_General_DB.

AuthMySQL_DB <database_name>
	Synonym for Auth_MySQL_General_DB, to be used in .htaccess files and
	directory-specific entries.

AuthName "<Realm>"
	Describes the data you're guarding.

AuthType <type>
	The authentication process used in the transaction.  Stick with
	Basic, no others work at present.

require <type> <identifier(s)>
	Specify what is considered a valid authentication.  <type> can be
	either user, group, or valid-user.  valid-user is the simplest -
	anyone who gets the username and password right gets in.  Otherwise,
	the user must either have a username in the space-separated list of
	identifiers (if using user) or must be a member of a group in the
	list of identifiers (if user group).
	
	Multiple require statements are allowed; if multiple require
	statements are present in a configuration, then the user will be
	considered authenticated if they can satisfy any of the require
	statements supplied.

Auth_MySQL_Password_Table <password_table_name>
	The name of the MySQL table in the specified database which stores
	username:password pairs.  By default, it is 'mysql_auth'.

AuthMySQL_Password_Table <password_table_name>
	Synonym for Auth_MySQL_Password_Table.

Auth_MySQL_Group_Table <group_table_name>
	As per ...Password_Table above, stores username:group pairs. 
	Normally you'll store username:password:group triplets in the one
	table, but we are nothing if not flexible.  Defaults to
	'mysql_auth'.

AuthMySQL_Group_Table <group_table_name>
	Synonym for Auth_MySQL_Group_Table.

Auth_MySQL_Username_Field <username_field_name>
	The name of the field which stores usernames.  Defaults to
	'username'. The username/password combo specified in Auth_MySQL_Info
	must have select privileges to this field in the Password and Group
	tables.

AuthMySQL_Username_Field <username_field_name>
	Synonym for Auth_MySQL_Username_Field.

Auth_MySQL_Password_Field <password_field_name>
	As per ...Username_Field above, but for passwords.  Same MySQL
	access privileges.  Defaults to 'password'.

AuthMySQL_Password_Field <password_field_name>
	Synonym for Auth_MySQL_Password_Field.

Auth_MySQL_Group_Field <group_field_name>
	As per ...Username_Field above.  Defaults to 'groups'.
	
AuthMySQL_Group_Field <group_field_name>
	Synonym for Auth_MySQL_Group_Field.
	
Auth_MySQL_Group_User_Field <field_name>
	The name of the field in the groups table which stores the username. 
	Defaults to the field name specified for usernames in the passwords
	table.

AuthMySQL_Group_User_Field <field_name>
	Synonym for Auth_MySQL_Group_User_Field.

Auth_MySQL_Password_Clause <SQL fragment>
	Adds arbitrary clause to username:password matching query, for example:
	" AND Allowed=1". Clause has to start with space. Default is empty.

Auth_MySQL_Group_Clause <SQL fragment>
	Adds arbitrary clause to username:group matching query, for example:
	" AND Allowed=1". Clause has to start with space. Default is empty.
 
Auth_MySQL_Empty_Passwords <on/off>
	Whether or not to allow empty passwords.  If the password field is
	empty (equals to '') and this option is 'on', users would be able to
	access the page by just specifying their username WITHOUT ANY
	PASSWORD CHECKING.  If this is 'off', they would be denied access. 
	Default: 'on'.

AuthMySQL_Empty_Passwords <on/off>
	Synonym for Auth_MySQL_Empty_Passwords.

Auth_MySQL_Encryption_Types <type_list>

	Select which types of encryption to check, and in which order to
	check them.  It overrides the legacy Auth_MySQL_Scrambled_Passwords
	and Auth_MySQL_Encrypted_Passwords directives.  Multiple encryption
	types may be specified, to instruct the module to check each
	password in multiple encryption schemes - a useful feature for
	legacy transitions.  For example:

	Auth_MySQL_Encryption_Types Plaintext Crypt_DES

	Would instruct the module to do a direct comparison of the entered
	password with the contents of the password field, and if that fails,
	to do a DES crypt() check, a la Unix password handling.  

	The available encryption types supported at this time are:
	
	Plaintext
		Pretty self-explanatory.  Not recommended.
		
	Crypt_DES
		Check the password via the standard Unix crypt() call, using
		DES hashing.

	Crypt_MD5
		Check the password via the standard Unix crypt() call, using
		an MD5 hash.
	
	Crypt
		Check the password via the standard Unix crypt() call,
		without preference for the hashing scheme employed.  This is
		the generally preferred means of checking crypt()ed
		passwords, because it allows you to use other schemes which
		may be available on your system, such as blowfish.
		
	PHP_MD5
		Compares with an MD5 hash, encoded in the way that PHP and
		MySQL handle MD5 hashes - 32 character hex code, with
		lowercase letters.

	SHA1Sum
		Compares with a SHA1 hash, encoded the way that MySQL, PHP,
		and the sha1sum command produce their output (a 40 character
		lowercase hex representation).

	MySQL
		The hashing scheme used by the MySQL PASSWORD() function.
		
AuthMySQL_Encryption_Types <type_list>
	Synonym for Auth_MySQL_Encryption_Types.

Auth_MySQL_Encrypted_Passwords <on/off> (DEPRECATED)
	Equivalent to: Auth_MySQL_Encryption_Types Crypt_DES
	Only used if ...Encryption_Types is not set.  Defaults to 'on'.  If
	both this option and ...Scrambled_Passwords are 'off' and
	...Encryption_Types is not set, passwords are expected to be in
	plaintext.

AuthMySQL_Encrypted_Passwords <on/off> (DEPRECATED)
	Synonym for Auth_MySQL_Encrypted_Passwords.

Auth_MySQL_Scrambled_Passwords <on/off> (DEPRECATED)
	Equivalent to: Auth_MySQL_Encryption_Types MySQL
	The same restrictions apply to this directive as to
	...Encrypted_Passwords.

AuthMySQL_Scrambled_Passwords <on/off> (DEPRECATED)
	Synonym for Auth_MySQL_Scrambled_Passwords.

Auth_MySQL_Authoritative <on/off>
	Whether or not to use other authentication schemes if the user is
	successfully authenticated.  That is, if the user passes the MySQL
	authentication, they may still be rejected by a later module if this
	option is set 'off'.  The default is 'on' (i.e. if the user passes
	the MySQL module, they're considered OK).

AuthMySQL_Authoritative <on/off>
	Synonym for Auth_MySQL_Authoritative.

Auth_MySQL_Non_Persistent <on/off>
	If set to 'on', the link to the MySQL server is explicitly closed
	after each authentication request.  Note that I can't think of any
	possible good reason to do this, unless your platform makes MySQL go
	crazy when it has plenty of simultaneous threads (bad handling of
	file descriptors may cause that).  In my opinion, one should
	increase the maximum number of simultaneous threads in MySQL and
	keep this option off.  Default: off, and for good reason.

AuthMySQL_Persistent <on/off>
	An antonym for Auth_MySQL_Non_Persistent.

AuthMySQL_AllowOverride <on/off>
	Whether or not .htaccess files are allowed to use their own
	Host/User/Password/DB specifications.  If set to 'off', then the
	defaults specified in the httpd.conf cannot be overridden.

Auth_MYSQL <on/off>
	Whether or not to enable MySQL authentication.  If it's off, the
	MySQL authentication will simply pass authentication off to other
	modules defined.

AuthMySQL <on/off>
	Synonym for Auth_MYSQL.
