[horde] Horde 4 misc problems

[Louis-Philippe Allard]

Ill be honest with you, I am confused with the backend.php file, and
the way Horde authenticate users...

I dont have a authentication server or process running on my horde
machine.  Should I implement one?  Right now, I was thinking to use my
gmail account as the authentication engine.  So when I am presented
with the first Horde login page, which engine is used to authenticate?
 Then, once logged in , why do we need a second auth engine?

Thanks for helping!
