Qs on authentication and databases in openMRS

[coolsoft]

Hello all!
Brand Newbie Here.
Just digging thru the docs; Would appreciate if someone can tell me

a) Does the current release 1.9 has inbuilt postgresql db creation?
 I checked out the code from the trunk; not sure  if I picked the right one.

b) Where is the authentication module? or its just a LoginServlet ?
Which one verifies the credentials?

I am glad that this is servlet-based so inter-op with other frameworks is easy.

Thanks a  bunch in advance.

I'm going to pass on the postgres question as you opened a separate thread for that: https://groups.google.com/a/openmrs.org/forum/?fromgroups#!topic/dev/Zod6faDOyso

(but the answer is yes, postgres should install with 1.9+)

LoginServlet will accept the submitted credentials and pass it to the api: Context.authenticate(String, String)

The webapp uses LoginServlet.  Other uses of the api should use the Context method.
