The problem, as you well know, is that not having the check allows a user A to impersonate
the identity of any other user B, as long as user A has his own valid credentials for
himself.

daniel,
is this addition backwards compatible with current auth_db, i.e., is the
check on by default?
i don't like it to be on by default, since in very common use cases,
from/to uri userpart does not match authentication username. for
example, from/to userpart could be an e.164 number +something, when auth
username could be a name.
