[horde] Composite auth driver woes

I'm trying to get a composite authentication driver working.  My
config is as follows:

$conf['auth']['driver'] = 'composite';
$conf['auth']['params']['drivers']['imp_auth']['driver'] = 'application';
$conf['auth']['params']['drivers']['imp_auth']['params']['app'] = 'imp';
$conf['auth']['params']['drivers']['ldap_users']['driver'] = 'ldap';
$conf['auth']['params']['drivers']['ldap_users']['params'] =
   array('hostspec'   => 'ldap.nebrwesleyan.edu',
   'basedn'     => 'ou=people,o=nebrwesleyan.edu,o=isp',
   'version'    => '3',
   'ad'         => false,
   'uid'        => 'uid',
   'encryption' => 'ssha',
   'newuser_objectclass' => array('shadowAccount', 'inetOrgPerson'),
   'objectclass'         => array('nwuPerson'),
   'filter_type'         => 'objectclass',
   'password_expiration' => 'no');
$conf['auth']['params']['admin_driver'] = 'ldap_users';
$conf['auth']['params']['loginscreen_switch'] = '_horde_select_loginscreen';
if (!function_exists('_horde_select_loginscreen')) {
   function _horde_select_loginscreen() {
     return 'imp_auth';
   }
}

When I try to log in, I just get sent back to the login screen without
an error.  In the logs, I actually get "Login success" messages.

The really strange thing is that I started twiddling with this when I
noticed a typo; I used to have:

$conf['auth']['params']['admin_driver'] = 'ldap';

No driver named 'ldap' existed in my params.  But it worked!  (User
listing didn't work, obviously, but logins did.)  So apparently the
error condition of no admin_driver existing was "better" than the
error condition of ... whatever is wrong now.

Can anyone suggest what might be wrong?  Thanks!
