[dev] Horde from outside application

[Mini Chate]

Hello,
I'm stuck on how to access the Auth::isAuthenticated() value from
applications outside of Horde.

The Wiki has some information (http://wiki.horde.org/Doc/Dev/LegacyApps) but
it didn't work for me. I'm using the following code:

define('HORDE_BASE', dirname(__FILE__) . "/../horde");
require_once HORDE_BASE . '/lib/core.php';

$registry = &Registry::singleton();
$auth = &Auth::singleton($conf['auth']['driver']);

$var = $auth->isAuthenticated();

Not only does it not get the correct true/false value for if the user is
logged in, but it resets the login credentials and logs the user out of
Horde.

Any help would be appreciated.
