[horde] : Re: horde login error

[Luis Felipe Marzagao]

Yes, clearly you don´t understand the authentication system. It´s quite 
simple. Horde will consult the authentication backend you tell it to 
consult in the configurations.

If the provided user and password exist on that authentication backend, 
then Horde will let the user login. That means it won´t be horde to 
maintain or update a database of user and password if you choose it that 
way.

So, if you´re telling horde to consult your IMAP server, it´s pretty 
obvious that only users that exist on that imap server will be allowed 
to login.

If you tell horde to consult a LDAP server, then only users within that 
LDAP server will login, and son on...

Hope that helps.
