[horde] How to integrate another app into Horde?

It can certainly be done. The short version is to put something like this inside
the authentication function of your app:

@define('HORDE_BASE', '/path/to/your/horde');
require HORDE_BASE . '/lib/base.php';

if ($user = Auth::getAuth()) {
    // authentication is there, $user holds the username
} else {
    // no authentication
}


If you need more details, let us know what version of Horde you're running and
where you're stuck.
