[horde] Horde4/BCBreaking

[Christopher Neuhaus]

Hi,

we are looking forward to migrate from H3 to H4. Almost everything works
fine but at least one big problem has left:

In our multi IMAP-/one Horde-Server environment, we use a
preauthentication hook to autoselect the IMAP-Server for the user. Here
we extract the information of one of many IMAP-servers where the user
should authenticate. (just like http://wiki.horde.org/ImapSelect)

After the H4 authentication cleaning process ..

    http://wiki.horde.org/Horde4/BCBreaking: "Remove confusing mess of
    hooks and other ways of muddling logins (especially with IMP), and
    replace them _all_ with the preauthenticate and postauthenticate
    hooks + appropriate examples for things like vhosting. *(DONE)"*
    **

 this solution doesn`t  work any more cause there are several changes,
that make this method impossible.

It seems that only a server-select drop-down menu at the login-screen
should be the solution - but this is not quite elegant ;). An alternate
login site seems to be to much overhead.

How would you solve this challenge?

Thanks for any suggestion.

Best Regards**

Christopher
