Some login tasks, for example the Upgrade task in IMP, require "real"  
authentication at the application backend. bin/run_tasks only calls  
setAuth() though, so such tasks fail with cryptic error messages.
We could add some property to Horde_LoginTasks_Task that determines  
whether the task could be run through bin/run_task. But maybe there is  
a some way to check the authentication layer whether a user is  
"really" logged in, and call that in the task classes that need it?
