It shouldn't be a redirect, it should be an Alias to the physical path  
on the server to rpc.php.

Why would you assume this is correct? It's not. Looks like something  
with your logging is not configured correctly.

The username field should be *exactly* what you use to login to Horde  
with, though the extra Windows Domain separator (\) is harmless.

You shouldn't need to specify the SSL port. It is automatically  
determined by the client, depending on whether or not you select to  
enable SSL or not.
