You need to  define the directive AuthDBType  for that configuration.
(As it is done in the 8080.conf)  This example was created very long ago
and probably  has  not been kept  up to date over the years.  It is 
currently on the todo list for
improvements of inets.

example files
but should be uncommented and given an appropriate value.
