Bear in mind that I'm a Horde Newbie.

Ermmm ... where do you think Imap gets its authrization from? Unix/Linux
/etc/passwd etc., NIS or ldap is the answer (/etc/nsswitch.conf). Mine
gets it from both files and ldap. That bit's all right, it's the Horde
settings that don't work properly with ldap. It comes far too short at
the moment, I'm sure Chuck would admit to it being "work in progress."

They don't work properly with ldap anyway. I tried. Mine get stuffed
into MySQL horde_categories. However, that doesn't work properly for me
yet, either (if I try to share tasks, calendars etc. it doesn't work).
Just about everything else (many Horde subcomponents) works brilliantly.

Syncing SQL and ldap passwords doesn't work, my "users" have to do both
a SQL and an ldap password change. They can choose their own passwords
for both. As far as ldap is concerned, this is 100% based on the actual
ldap tree and ACLs, which are entirely independant of Horde and common
for all ldap clients (like GQ or PHP4 applications, for example).

For me, nada. It doesn't seem to match up with any rights, but perhaps
that's me.

It gets remembered :-) Look in horde_categories

For me in horde_preferences

That's what I was guessing at.

Best,
