Thank you very helpful.

So does the default horde mysql database already have the tables in 
it, or will I need to use a separate mySQL database? where would I 
locate the required fields/tables required in the mySQL table?

Is there a quick summary somewhere of what steps need to be done to 
get horde to auth via mySQL? (and thus permit me to manage users within horde)?
