I started with the version I'm currently running (3.1.6) on my  
production servers, and worked my way up, one release at a time,  
following this testing process:

- unpack horde-x.x.x and rename as 'horde'
- add .htaccess with 'Allow from all' and 'DirectoryIndex index.php'
- chmod 777 horde/config
- execute 'for f in *.dist; do cp $f `basename $f .dist`; done' in  
horde/config
- chmod 666 *.* in horde/config
- open web browser and clear cache, cookies, etc.
- point browser to /horde on test server (automatically logs in as  
Administrator first time)
- Setup -> horde -> Authentication
- select 'LDAP authentication' and configure for ldap server
- Setup -> horde -> Preference System
- select 'PHP Sessions'
- Log out
- Log in

Version 3.1.9 is the last version in which LDAP authentication works  
for me with the settings I've always used. I also noticed that 3.2 is  
the first version in which the default password encryption is not  
md5-hex in the Authentication setup form; just in case that's  
relevant. Attached is a diff of the changes between  
horde/lib/Horde/Auth/ldap.php on version 3.1.9 and 3.2.
