Not exactly a mod_perl question but I'm sure it's something we've all
thought about before...

I want to make a Database Authentication for my site. I have a
PostgreSQL Database. I made a connect_on_init
by user 'web_user' to the database.
The question is: where better to make site users ? Create them as
database users and put into system pg_shadow and pg_group tables or
create new table, for example 'web_user' and work with it ?
Think about the scope of the application - how many users? is it open to
the public? A lot of the time, you should create your own table of
users - the user has a relationship with the app, the app has a
relationship with the DB.
