Database-based authentication is performed by the module AUTH_DB. Other types of authentication such as radius and diameter can be performed using AUTH_RADIUS and AUTH_DIAMETER respectively. AUTH_DB works together with database modules such as MySQL and PostgreSQL. AUTH_DB has some parameters that are not explicitly declared in the script.
