Component body
Allows an developer to log in as user #1 with user accounts from a separate authentication source, such as LDAP. Can also be used without LDAP to login with a config-set (eg. settings.php) password.
Useful for administering a large cluster of multisite sites that share the all/modules directory. Just configure the module and enable it on all sites; no need to remember the user #1 password any more.
Note: You definitely shouldn't use this unless you fully understand how the module works! Incorrect usage can seriously harm your site's security!
