This is simple to achieve in 3 steps:
1. define your 2 auth extension classes
2. make sure the separate classes use separate tables (or otherwise=20
prevent a customer from authenticating as admin)
3. make sure the page_open() on customer pages sets "auth" =3D>=20
"Customer_Auth" and on admin pages sets "auth" =3D> "Admin_Auth"
