Change log:  Authentication Caveat: HTTP-Auth inCGI mode

@@ -26,4 +26,8 @@

  Several generic RPC interfaces exist in Horde, at the time of this  
writing XML-RPC, SOAP, and JSON. These can be used to access the  
external API of Horde and its applications and are rather targeted at  
developers. But there exists a ((PhpgwHowTo|wrapper around the XML-RPC  
interface)) that is compatible to the RPC interface of  
**[http://www.phpgroupware.org/  
phpGroupWare]/[http://www.egroupware.org/ eGroupWare]**. At least one  
client **(Kontact)** supports this interface. It hasn't been tested  
much though.

  Of course you can combine any of the scenarios mentioned here. You  
could use Horde as a frontend for a Kolab server and as a SyncML  
server for your **PDAs** and **phones** at the same time. Or you can  
use the Kolab server as a groupware backend, but add more address  
books from your company's LDAP or Active Directory servers, etc.

++++ Authentication Caveat
+
+The above methods all use the rpc.php entry point to horde, which in  
most cases uses basic HTTP authentication to authorize access. This  
may not work out of the box when PHP is run in CGI mode. Please see  
HTTPAuthHowTo for a workaround.
