How can I?

I don't want to insert my code into Horde. By that way updating Horde 
will be impossible. I am trying to find a way to fully integrate Horde 
system with Qmail-Ldap. First part is integrating authentication. I'm 
keeping my users' account passwords hashed, not plain text. That's why 
users can't bind to ldap server. Of course there is another way, keeping 
users' passwords plain text (which is not a secure way to keep) and 
securing passwords with TLS connection.
