[imp] HORDE/IMP + LDAP?

Also, the default is to use plain text files, so you don't necessarily need LDAP
or a database or shared memory for sessions. Also, I don't know of an LDAP
session handler for php4, but I'm sure that it could be written.

Correct. It's not entirely there yet, but we're working on it.

Well, it theoretically should work - there's an LDAP storage class in phplib, at
least. Unfortunately, I'm not really sure where you'd go about troubleshooting
it, besides cranking up error_reporting() all the way and starting to add
printfs...

I'd concur with this.
