unfortunately (or fortunately depending on how you look at it) setting up
Horde with LDAP requires an serious indepth knowledge of how LDAP works and how 
your particular LDAP schema is set up.  Below is a slightly munged version of 
what is working for us right now with openLDAP.

in horde/config/conf.php
...
$conf['auth']['params']['hostspec'] = 'localhost';
$conf['auth']['params']['basedn'] = 'ou=addresses,o=mysite.com';
$conf['auth']['params']['binddn'] = 'o=mysite.com';
$conf['auth']['params']['password'] = 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx';
$conf['auth']['params']['version'] = '3';
$conf['auth']['params']['ad'] = false;
$conf['auth']['params']['uid'] = 'userid';
$conf['auth']['params']['encryption'] = 'plain';
$conf['auth']['params']['newuser_objectclass'] = array('anAddress', 
'webmailAddress');
$conf['auth']['params']['objectclass'] = array('webmailAddress');
$conf['auth']['params']['filter_type'] = 'objectclass';
...

If you install horde and then use the online XML-based config process, the 
explanations on the config web page do a pretty good job of explaining the 
parameters.

Good luck.
