Comment	> Add an API in Horde_Registry_Application (Horde_Core) which changes > auth credentials and tells apps to reauthenticate with the new > credentials, ignoring cached sessions and credentials. This is needed > for IMP and gollem in some scenarios. > > cf Horde_Registry_Application#changeLanguage() for similar functionality. > > michael slusarz said: > > With our package structure, this is now something that can be added > to the Core functionality without requiring a new major release.

That is > something that can't really be addresses until the next major Horde > release. > > In other words - the best/cleanest solution is probably to instead > require that if the password changes, the Horde session is destroyed. > IMHO, this is not asking too much: password changes are fairly rare, > it prevents all possible authentication problems, and this is not an > alien concept to users since all sorts of websites require > re-authentication when the password changes. > > michael > >
