Introduction
============

This module allows you to authenticate against an Joomla database.

storage](https://prosody.im/doc/modules/mod_storage_sql) except for an
additional 'prefix' parameter that defaults to 'jos\_'.\_

    sql = { -- See documentation for SQL storage
        driver = "MySQL";
        database = "joomla";
        host = "localhost";
        username = "prosody";
        password = "secretpassword";

        prefix = "jos_";
    }
