I think you can use recipes along side of AuthUser for user 
authentication but this seems to be just for user authentication. It 
does not seem to store access rules from what I can tell. These are the 
authentication possibilities with AuthUser:

  - Password-formatted File (.htpasswd)
  - LDAP
  - Password from MySql or Postgres Database
  - XML-RPC Authentication
