Summary0000858: find an assurer fails when a user can't access his account.

Problem is the security level.
Not logged-in users don't have permissions to list Assurers, so list of assurers in a defined area cannot be displayed.

Alternate solution: outsource the search and find for an Assurer function into a mailing list ?!?
Find an Assurer -> send mail to new mailing list FindAsurer@lists.
So probably others on vacation, business tour, conference can become also possible assurer ?

Outsource to a community server like the gooze project?

one potential option is to create a new "login state":
not logged-in, but email address can be found in database
so email address can be verified to be a user, who
has created an account, but now has problems to login

Find assurer option in the not-logged-in environment
with pre-step function:
find user <email>
if successful verified email
continue with the assurers listing

the fix could be the new community portal www.cacert.eu
