Database Authentication Profile

The database authentication profile uses an external database connection to find its users, their passwords, and their roles. When you first create a database authentication profile you can have it automatically create the appropriate tables through your database connection. This is usually a good idea, as it makes the setup very easy.

To administer the users and their roles, you'll have to interface directly with the database. This type of authentication profile is best when the ability to administer users from within a running client is a requirement.
