[dev] horde auth - password

[Jan Schneider]

Hi,

perhaps it makes sense to build some sort of password container for horde. If a 
user authenticates against horde with horde's configured auth mechanism (imap, 
ftp, mcal whatever) every horde app can get the necessary password from this 
container.
You then only have to authenticate once and can use gollem, imp, a forward or a 
password change module without authenticating again.

Jan.
