SYNOPSIS
        ext_sql_session_acl [options]

DESCRIPTION
       Validates an HTTP requests access authorization with a session
       database.

       Taking an identity token to be validated (as determined by the

       the identity token passed in.

       This program uses Squid concurrency support.
