specifies the type of authorization to be used. This should
always be basic.

database to be used for user verification. This parameter will
be passed to the user function.
is the name of the user custom function to verify
authorization. This function must have been previously
loaded with load-modules. It has the same interface as all
the SAFs, but it is called with the user name (user),
password (pw), user database (userdb), and group database
(groupdb) if supplied, in the pb parameter. The user
function should check the name and password using the
database and return REQ_NOACTION if they are not valid. It
should return REQ_PROCEED if the name and password are
valid. The basic-auth function will then add auth-type,
auth-user (user), auth-db (userdb), and
auth-password (pw, Windows NT/Windows 2000 only)
to the rq->vars pblock.
