There is a link at the bottom of the
https://metacpan.org/pod/RT::Authen::ExternalAuth::DBI::Cookie docs.

https://metacpan.org/pod/RT::Authen::ExternalAuth::DBI

 but I'm most concerned the cookie parameters c_table,

giving the browser a cookie and placing that cookie value into a
database.

RT::Authen::ExternalAuth::DBI::Cookie is just the glue between RT and
