Description:
------------
A class which is not a direct child from db_common is not accepted as a valid $dsn object.

Reproduce code:
---------------
(cvs version)
in Auth/Container/DB.php
line 96:
} elseif (strtolower(get_parent_class($dsn)) == "db_common") {

get_parent_class is not the right way to check if the potential object in $dsn is a child from db_common.

For example the db_ldap3 class is a child of db_ldap2, and db_ldap2 is a child of db_common.

In order for auth to work with an object from db_ldap3 or another 'younger' class, the function is_subclass_of should be used (compatible with php5) :

} elseif (is_subclass_of($dsn,'db_common')) {
