The server is selected in IMP::setupSession(). 

If you want to setup a server list in servers.php and select the right 
server from this list automatically, you have to remove the line:
$server = Horde::getFormData('server', '');
and replace it by some ldap lookup code.

If you don't want to add an entry for every server in servers.php because 
only the hostnames differ, you can use a hidden server list (with one 
entry) and change the line:
$imp['server'] = $servers[$server]['server'];
to lookup the correct hostname.

The vinfo hook is only to modify the username on login.

Good luck!

Jan.
