[horde] Temporarily set horde login to plaintext

[Ralf Lang]

Hi,

k9 mail on motorola droid does not force you to top post. Neither does 
imp, outlook, thunderbird, evolution, kontact or lotus notes.

Haven't checked the stock mail client on droid for a while though.

Well I think the whole rpc.php stuff doesn't like auto auth. Which is a 
sane decision from a security pov.

You could setup the http auth driver though.

$conf['auth']['params']['htpasswd_file'] = 
'/usr/share/php5/PEAR/www/horde/passwd.passwd';
$conf['auth']['params']['encryption'] = 'plain';
$conf['auth']['driver'] = 'http';

passwd.passwd would look like this:

user1:user1passwd
user2:hispass
anotheruser:secret

This should enable rpc and sync. Provided there aren't any other obstacles.

I don't know your setup. You did not post any configuration.
