Set guest access to true ( 'allow_guests' => true ) for chora in your
horde/config/registry.php and then you won't need to login.

You need to set it for $conf['auth']['params']['phptype'] in addition
to $conf['prefs']['params']['phptype'].  But if you set guest access
as above, then you won't need to do this.
