[Serusers] Force MySQL Authentication

[Jiri Kuthan]

You need to configure your script correctly, that's it. You are reading
the documentation on the web which refers to last release, 8.10, and
using tarball of 8.11 -- that's where some of your confusion comes from.

You need to rebuild with mysql support (make include_modules=mysql all,
make include_modules=mysql install) and uncomment authentication-related
lines from ser.cfg. The value of realm can be changed in the first
parameter of www_(authorize|challenge). To deal with Windows Messenger
bugs, preferablys set it to your sever's domain name.

ps -- I suggest you stick to problem reporting guidelines as on our
website. It is hard otherwise to see what's wrong. Scripts and messages
are important.

>FHI - There seams to be a discrepancy between Dan Austins HOWTO and the INSTALL document on <http://iptel.org/>http://iptel.org. Dans only mentioned uncommenting /usr/lib/ser/modules/mysql.so where the INSTALL document mentions loadmodule "/usr/local/lib/ser/modules/auth.so" as well. The reality is, there is a third line namely loadmodule "/usr/local/lib/ser/modules/auth_db.so". Regardless, I tried all variations.
