- Status changed from Nouveau to En cours
- Assignee set to Benjamin Dauvergne
- Target version set to 2.2.0
- add /manager/users/**/su/ view:
- store current session[SESSION_KEY] and session[BACKEND_SESSION_KEY] and session[HASH_SESSION_KEY] in other
- login targetted user using some backend (here lies some difficulty as for example you would have to detect if an user is coming from an LDAP directory in log him using this backend, for now it will only be possible to use some kind of model backend)
- add button for making a switch in the user view (and redirecting to authentic2 homepage)
- on the account page add a link to a "switch-back" view, restoring previous value for session authentication key (stored when switching)
