Description: SASL authentication backend provider for Apache
 This module provides the mod_auth_basic authentication front-end 
 a way to authenticate users by checking credentials via the Cyrus SASL library.
 .
 Username and password are checked against the SASL password checking backends,
 kerberos5, pam, rimap, shadow and ldap are some of the supported mechanisms.
 .
 One of the interesting parts of using a SASL backend is that you do not need 
 to elevate Apache HTTPD's access rights to superuser privileges, even when 
 validating through shadow database.
