be aware of:

"<AuthBy EXTERNAL> will wait for the external process to complete before 
handling more requests, so you should use this carefully, and avoid 
using long-running commands. If you cannot avoid long-running EXTERNAL 
commands, you can use the Fork parameter to force <AuthBy EXTERNAL> to 
fork before calling the external command. This may improve performance."

If you will not rely on the textual representation of the response of 
<AuthBy URL> you could also try <AuthBy REST>:

"The response must decode to a Perl hash data structure which is 
automatically done for JSON object format responses. If the response is, 
for example, a JSON array, you can update the decoded response to a Perl 
hash with MapResponseHook"

Greetings
