(Sorry to ask again, but it is not yet clear to me.)

so, well, the examples in the preauthentication hook, where the userId is
checked to be not equal "foo" (or Joe?) are not working for me. Does that
mean my config of horde is wrong or that the examples are not right anymore?
Either $userId is supposed to be not empty (as it is used in the
preauthenticate hook example) or it should be used later (then I do get the
example wrong)?
So how and what exactly shall be handled in the preauthenticate hook?

Best regards
