+mod_auth_form
+Apache2 Form-Based Authorization Module
+----------------------------------------
+
+Overview
+--------
+
+This module is a form-based authorization module based on 
+'mod_auth_mysql' and 'mod_auth_sim'. It is used to place access
+restrictions on a per-directory, per-user-request basis using
+session management. The module uses a MySQL database to retrieve
+users' group membership, maintain and validate users' sessions,
+and optionally track user activity.
+
+The mechanics of the module works in the following way. A web
+client (user) requests for a restricted page/directory. The module
+sends back a 'Page Has Moved' error, pointing the client to the page
+containing a login form. Through server-side scripting, a session is
+created in the MySQL database and the client (i.e. cookies or query
+string). The session itself consists of a unique, random, and temporary
+ID that is associated with a user. The client then makes the same
+request along with the session ID (SID) and the user ID (UID). The
+module compares and validates the two IDs against the IDs stored in the
+MySQL database. If successful, the module sends back the requested
+page; otherwise, the module once again sends back the 'Page Has Moved'
+error page. In addition (if specified), the module will also validate
+the user's group membership and act accordingly.
