It should be used in both iRony and Chwala as this is a method to
authenticate to Chwala API. However, currently we use a hack in iRony
and we do not authenticate to Chwala API. We use iRony's authentication
with IMAP. It is simpler because both use the same set of
objects/classes. This is also better for performance, but it will not
work with different storage driver.

So, you need to implement the authenticate method in your Chwala storage
driver and also modify iRony code to authenticate to Chwala API.
