AuthMySQLPwEncryption none | crypt | scrambled | md5 | aes | sha1

This is the method of encryption used when encoding the passwords in the database, as follows:

         none: No encryption/plain text

          crypt: UNIX crypt() encryption

          scrambled: MySQL PASSWORD() encryption

          md5: MD5 hashing

          aes: Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) encryption

          sha1: Secure Hash Algorith (SHA1)

If no value is specified, the default value of crypt is used.

When using AES password encryption, make sure the password field in your MySQL user tables is a BLOB type, not a CHAR, VARCHAR, or BINARY type. Unless the column type is one of the BLOB variations, MySQL will strip any extra encoded characters from the encrypted passwords -- and you'll never be able to match the given password to the database values.

AuthMySQLSaltField

This allows you to specify one of three values to use as the "salt value" when encrypting passwords.
 A value of <> tells mod_auth_mysql to use the password itself as the salt field. A value of <string>
 uses the value of string as the salt field. Any string not surrounded by less-than/greater-than symbols is treated as the name of a database column, the value of which is used as the salt field.

AuthMySQLGroupTable

  This is used to set the name of the table containing group information, when Apache is told to check  groups instead of individual users (require group versus require valid-user).

AuthMySQLGroupCondition

  Similar to AuthMySQLUserCondition, this directive allows you to specify conditional statements to  include in the WHERE clause when matching user groups.

AuthMySQLGroupField

  This is the name of the field in the database that contains the group names. This field is used when  matching groups using Apache's require group directive.

AuthMySQLAuthoritative

 This tells Apache whether or not to fallback to other modules if MySQL authentication fails.
