+/** Check authorization for a resource
+ *
+ * This function looks for the file SANE_CONFIG_DIR/backend.users.
+ * If this file doesn't exist, sanei_authorize always returns SANE_STATUS_GOOD.
+ * The file backend.users contains a list of usernames, passwords, and
+ * resources:
+ *
+ * username:password:resource
+ * username:password:resource
+ *
+ * If the requested resource isn't listed in this file, sanei_authorize
+ * return SANE_SATUS_GOOD. In all other cases, sanei_authorize sends a
+ * challenge to the frontend of the form
+ *
+ * resource$MD5$randomstring
+ *
+ * where randomstring consists of the PID, the time, and some random
+ * characters. It accepts two forms of answers
+ *
+ * std: username:password
+ * md5: username:$MD5$m5digest
+ *
+ * where md5digest is md5(randomstring password).
+ *
+ * If this username/password/resource triple is listed in backend.users
+ * sanei_authorize returns SANE_STATUS_GOOD, in all other cases it returns
+ * SANE_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED.
+ *
+ * @param resource resource to authorize
+ * @param backend backend name
+ * @param authorize auth callback
+ *
+ * @return
+ * - SANE_STATUS_GOOD - access is granted
+ * - SANE_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED - access is denied
