<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>

<h2><a name="requiredirectives" id="requiredirectives">The Require Directives</a></h2>
<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 group FROM authz WHERE user = %s"</pre>
<h3><a name="reqlogin" id="reqlogin">Require dbd-login</a></h3>
<p>This directive specifies a query to be run indicating the user
has logged in.</p>
<pre class="prettyprint lang-config"> Require dbd-login
AuthzDBDQuery "UPDATE authn SET login = 'true' WHERE user = %s"</pre>
<h3><a name="reqlogout" id="reqlogout">Require dbd-logout</a></h3>
<p>This directive specifies a query to be run indicating the user
has logged out.</p>
<pre class="prettyprint lang-config"> Require dbd-logout
AuthzDBDQuery "UPDATE authn SET login = 'false' WHERE user = %s"</pre>
</div><div class="top"><a href="#page-header"><img alt="top" src="../images/up.gif" /></a></div>
<div class="section">
<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><div class="top"><a href="#page-header"><img alt="top" src="../images/up.gif" /></a></div>
<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>

<h2><a name="security" id="security">Preventing SQL injections</a></h2>
<p>Whether you need to care about SQL security depends on what DBD driver
and backend you use. With most drivers you don't have to do anything :
the statement is prepared by the database at startup, and user input is
used only as data. But you may need to untaint your input. At the time
of writing, the only driver that requires you to take care is FreeTDS.</p>
<p>Please read <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_dbd.html">mod_dbd</a></code> documentation for more information
about security on this scope.</p>

<p>The <code class="directive">AuthzDBDQuery</code> specifies an SQL
query to run. The purpose of the query depends on the
<code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mod_authz_core.html#require">Require</a></code> directive in
effect.</p>
<ul>
<li>When used with a <code>Require dbd-group</code> directive,
it specifies a query to look up groups for the current user. This is
the standard functionality of other authorization modules such as
<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>.
The first column value of each row returned by the query statement
should be a string containing a group name. Zero, one, or more rows
may be returned.
<pre class="prettyprint lang-config">Require dbd-group
AuthzDBDQuery "SELECT group FROM groups WHERE user = %s"</pre>
</li>
<li>When used with a <code>Require dbd-login</code> or
<code>Require dbd-logout</code> directive, it will never deny access,
but will instead execute a SQL statement designed to log the user
in or out. The user must already be authenticated with
<code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_authn_dbd.html">mod_authn_dbd</a></code>.
<pre class="prettyprint lang-config">Require dbd-login
AuthzDBDQuery "UPDATE authn SET login = 'true' WHERE user = %s"</pre>
</li>
</ul>
<p>In all cases, the user's ID will be passed as a single string
parameter when the SQL query is executed. It may be referenced within
the query statement using a <code>%s</code> format specifier.</p>
