Package Info
-------------
LiveUser is a set of classes for dealing with user authentication
and permission management. Basically, there are three main elements that
make up this package:

* The LiveUser class
* The Auth containers
* The Perm containers

The LiveUser class takes care of the login process and can be configured
to use a certain permission container and one or more different auth contain
ers.
That means, you can have your users' data scattered amongst many data contai
ners
and have the LiveUser class try each defined container until the user is fou
nd.
For example, you can have all website users who can apply for a new account 
online
on the webserver's local database. Also, you want to enable all your company
's
employees to login to the site without the need to create new accounts for a
ll of
them. To achieve that, a second container can be defined to be used by the L
iveUser class.

You can also define a permission container of your choice that will manage t
he rights for
each user. Depending on the container, you can implement any kind of permiss
ion schemes
for your application while having one consistent API.

Using different permission and auth containers, it's easily possible to inte
grate
newly written applications with older ones that have their own ways of stori
ng permissions
and user data. Just make a new container type and you're ready to go!

Currently available are containers using:
PEAR::DB, PEAR::MDB, PEAR::MDB2, PEAR::XML_Tree and PEAR::Auth.
