You best point your browser to
http://yoursite.com/admin/config/config.php?app=horde and go to the
"authentication" tab.

There you can fill in authentication details.
Most important is the conf[auth][driver] dropdown

For example, choose mysql, choose "horde defaults" in driver config and
leave the following fields empty (default encryption is ssha). Hit the
generate config button. Your horde/config/conf.php file will have
changed, copying the old one to conf.php.bak. These files must have
write access for the web-server user (in opensuse: wwwrun, in debian:
www-data)

Then go to the user config screen /admin/user.php and begin entering
users. When you log out and back in, you will find yourself using the
entered credentials.

Please mind the conf[auth][admin] array which says which usernames
should have admin privileges.

Advanced users often directly edit the con.php file.

When configuring the passwd application later on, mind backends.php for
documentation and examples.

I usually use this backends.local.php when the horde authentication is
"sql" or "ldap":

$backends['hordeauth'] = array(
    'disabled' => true,
    'name' => 'Horde Authentication',
    'driver' => 'Horde',
    'policy' => array(
        'minLength' => 6,
        'minNumeric' => 1,
    ),
    'logout' => true,
);

This delegates the actual work to the horde authentication driver.
Backends php contains more info for custom sql, ldap, poppasd,
postfixadmin, samba/cifs and other authentication scenarios and even
http/rpc calls to remote servers.
