[horde] Fw: First login

[Tommy Jensen]

Since I sent my original mail to this list I have received several mails from users having the same problem so instead of answering each individually I will answer to the list so other can benefit from this.

If anybody responsible for the horde applications read this could You please add this to the FAQ list or write some better instructions because it is not clear that following is what needs to be done.

After ensuring that the test.php page works do this.

In horde\config\registry.php un-comment these lines

/* auth: Handler for user authentication.
 *   Uncomment the auth/login/logout lines if you want to let either
 *   IMP or Gollem handle the authentication for Horde. This avoids the
 *   "double login" while accessing IMP.
 */
$this->registry['auth']['login'] = 'imp';
$this->registry['auth']['logout'] = 'imp';


In \horde\imp\config\servers.php edit the list so it only contains 1 entry for the mail server You want to connect to like this example

// Any entries whose key value ('foo' in $servers['foo']) begin with
// '_' (an underscore character) will be treated as prompts, and you
// won't be able to log in to them. The only property these entries
// need is 'name'. This lets you put labels in the list, like this
// example:
$servers['_prompt'] = array(
    'name' => 'Choose a mail server:'
);

// $servers['imap'] = array(
//     'name' => 'IMAP Server',
//     'server' => 'imap.example.com',
//     'protocol' => 'imap/notls',
//     'port' => 143,
//     'folders' => 'mail/',
//     'namespace' => '',
//     'maildomain' => 'example.com',
//     'smtphost' => 'smtp.example.com',
//     'realm' => 'example.com',
//     'preferred' => ''
// );


$servers['pop'] = array(
    'name' => 'POP3 Server',
    'server' => 'mailserver.com',
    'protocol' => 'pop3',
    'port' => 110,
    'folders' => '',
    'namespace' => '',
    'maildomain' => 'mailserver.com',
    'realm' => 'mailserver.com',
    'preferred' => ''
);


Once this is done bring up the login page

/horde/imp/index.php

Now what was NOT mentioned in the documentation is that in this login You enter the userid and password from the MAIL-server. Exactly if You had configured Outlook or another email client to connect to the mailserver.


I hope this helps the people that have problems with the first login.

Subject: First login



I have installed latest versions of horde and imp on a RedHat 7.3 with Apache 1.3.

The script in horde/test.php works

But I cannot login?

How do I setup a userid to login with? I have tried adding a user manually in the database but that does not work either.

I have looked through the FAQ but to be honest it lacks alot of infomation that I see several users looking for. I don't see anything about the first login after successful install.

Best regards Tommy
