(RADIATOR) Long lived connection for AuthBy EXTERNAL?

[Hugh Irvine]

Hello Frank -

I would suggest building a custom AuthBy module to do exactly what you 
describe. Have a look at section 17 in the Radiator 2.19 reference manual for 
a discussion about how to do this ("doc/ref.html").

regards

Hugh
