That's correct. .-)

The Kernel::System::CustomerUser::XY module is for the customer data (name,
email, ....). The Kernel::System::Auth::XY is for the authentication. So
if you do have the customer passwords crypted in a SQL table, then you
could use Kernel::System::Auth::DB. If you want to authentication you users
aganins LDAP, use Kernel::System::Auth::LDAP. If you want your own 
authentication way then write your onw Kernel::System::Auth::XY. .-)

I hope it helps you!
