[horde] login

Hi Richard,

As I don't use MySQL authentication (I use IMP -> IMAP), I am not quite
sure I would helpful this time around, but let's try something.

I am not quite sure, but I believe that sql auth driver store the
username and password *inside* a database table.  You would need to 
configure Horde to connect to a specific database with a username and
password, then lookup the credential provided in the login form *in* a 
table.  Horde does not connect to the database with the credentials you
provided in the login form.

I just looked up in a client config file, and it is indeed the case.  I 
can see that the variable required to populate the $conf['auth']['params'] 
array are not documented in horde/config/horde.php, but they are in a 
comment on the top of horde/lib/Auth/sql.php.  You should have a look at 
that.

Hopefully that help.
