## Class TDbUserManager

Description

Implements interfaces:

- IUserManager

TDbUserManager class

TDbUserManager manages user accounts that are stored in a database. TDbUserManager is mainly designed to be used together with TAuthManager which manages how users are authenticated and authorized in a Prado application.

To use TDbUserManager together with TAuthManager, configure them in the application configuration like following:

     <module id="db"
         class="System.Data.TDataSourceConfig" ..../>
     <module id="users"
         class="System.Security.TDbUserManager"
         UserClass="Path.To.MyUserClass"
         ConnectionID="db" />
     <module id="auth"
         class="System.Security.TAuthManager"
         UserManager="users" LoginPage="Path.To.LoginPage" />

In the above, UserClass specifies what class will be used to create user instance. The class must extend from TDbUser. ConnectionID refers to the ID of a TDataSourceConfig module which specifies how to establish database connection to retrieve user information.
