 | Yes, you are correct about the bind proccess, but couldn't horde do a
 | ldap_get_dn and then bind as the user
 | with it's full dn instead of user + basedn ? anonymous can search and read
 | the entries.

Sounds reasonable and depending on your acl you would not have to have 
anonymous search and read.  I just had another idea, let me try it
and I'll let you know.
