Things like 'password verification' and 'user database' are
abstracted. By default we provide password salt generation and hashing
using unix crypt or OpenSSL (or later perhaps bcrypt), and use a
simple Wt::Dbo based implementation for the user database. I also
would like to add OAuth in the first version just as a sanity check to
see if the API can handle this totally different way of
authentication.

An alternative implementation for these two components would be to use
PAM, or LDAP, but these haven't been planned for a first release. But
for example for LDAP we already had some discussions.

koen
