+<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>Apache's <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mod_authz_core.html#require">Require</a></code>
+ directives are used during the authorization phase to ensure that
+ a user is allowed to access a resource. mod_authz_dbd extends the
+ authorization types with <code>dbd-group</code>, <code>dbd-login</code> and
+ <code>dbd-logout</code>.</p>
+
+ <p>Since v2.4.8, <a href="../expr.html">expressions</a> are supported
+ within the DBD require directives.</p>
+
+<h3><a name="reqgroup" id="reqgroup">Require dbd-group</a></h3>
+
+ <p>This directive specifies group membership that is required for the
+ user to gain access.</p>
+
+ <pre class="prettyprint lang-config">Require dbd-group team
+AuthzDBDQuery "SELECT user_group FROM authz WHERE user = %s"</pre>
+
+
+
+
+<h3><a name="reqlogin" id="reqlogin">Require dbd-login</a></h3>
+

+ has logged in.</p>
+

+
+
+
+
+<h3><a name="reqlogout" id="reqlogout">Require dbd-logout</a></h3>

+<h2><a name="login" id="login">Database Login</a></h2>
+
+<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 class="section">
+<h2><a name="client" id="client">Client Login integration</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.</p>
+<p>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>
