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.
