Reading:

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/trunk/developer/lua.html#basic_auth

there is the first example in Example 3:

--[[
     A simple authentication hook that checks a table containing
usernames and
     passwords of two accounts.
]]--

and there is the second example which states:

--[[
     An advanced authentication checker with a database backend,
     caching account entries for 1 minute
]]--

So i was under the impression, that this auth_checker is responsible for
authentication - in fact e.g. example 1 does authentication and tells
the request processing which user is there and if it is a authenticated
one (correct password).

Imho:

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/trunk/developer/lua.html#authz

This one seems to be the one which does the authorization, e.g. checks
if the authenticated user from Example 3 does have the correct group
membership.

If this is wrong like you're suggesting, how is this supposed to work?
Opinions about that?

kind regards
