      The auth db plugin does not has the user_confirm() method. This may lead into some problem with special auth flows depending on external db where confirmation is needed, like the auth/manual pluign does. Other standard plugins, depending on external backend such as auth/LDAP, has the methods user_confirm() and can_confirm() as well.

      Solution:
      Add the missing method to auth/db taking it from auth/manual
