Slide does not do any authentication at all. That's left to the application.
If you are using the webdav servlet and tomcat, you can use whatever Tomcat
realm is available. So you can use mySQL for authentication. 

However for fine grained autorisation Slide must know the user names and
the groups, to which a user belongs (but not the password). You could
write a store, which maps your mySQL table to slide nodes under
/users. It's not that hard, but I don't know, if somebody already 
did this.
