NAME
       LedgerSMB::Auth.pm - Provides an abstraction layer for session management and authentication.

SYNOPSIS
       This routine provides an abstraction layer for session management and authentication.  The current application only ships with a simple
       authentication layer using database-native accounts.  Other authentication methods are quite possible though currently every LedgerSMB user
       must be a database user.

	   Check whether a session exists and handle failure appropriately.

	   Modules are free to define how failure should be addressed.

	   Create a session

       session_destroy
	   Destroy a session.

       get_credentials
	   Get credentials and return them to the application.

	   login password

       credential_prompt
	   Prompt user for credentials
