[horde] NEED HELP: Test horde/ldap 3.0.0alpha6 under PHP 8.2+

[Ralf Lang]

Hello Jean,

Thank you for testing this.
Also the outcome sounds very promising.

That's also great. I am aware most LDAP setups are not horde-driven but 
have horde mostly on the consumer/reader side.

Turba is something to have an eye on. If addressbooks change through the 
backend (some other software changing the LDAP entry) then we don't get 
a change event and the record will not update through sync protocols 
which rely on horde_history.

This is not so much a problem when used as a GAL as they are not 
synchronized but searched on-demand.

I'd like to update the sample hook to what you got working if you like 
to share.

As for the slowness when browsing huge user lists:
- The dropdown user lists generally don't scale too nicely for large 
user bases
- We should probably improve the type-in alternative
