The HTTP Auth driver wants an own file. I already postet a small script 
which allows http-auth based login without any modification of horde but 
rather passes http auth to the used auth driver (ldap, imap, whatever). 
There's also an autologin script shipped with horde4 but I think it 
didn't work out of the box. I'll check that later and probably adapt 
what's broken.
