[imp] Webmail Administration

[David Goldfield]

Hi All,

Have just recently started doing some IT work with a company that has
horde/imp running.

(Unfortunetly the previous Linux guy took off with out leaving much in the
way of documentation on how horde/imp is setup.)

We have root access to the horde server and access to one imp email account
with username and password working.

I am trying to set that one working account as the administrator, so that
we can add or delete email accounts through a browser.

I found the following in Wiki:

*What are the default user name and password for the administrator?*
*

There are none. Since Horde supports a broad variety of different
authentication backends and you are free to choose any of them for your
Horde installation, the selected backend decides which are valid login
credentials. And we didn't add an authentication independent backdoor to
Horde, for obvious reasons.
Instead, you can turn any valid and authenticated user into an
administrator by adding his user name to the administrator list in Horde's
configuration. Make sure to use user names exactly like they are used
inside Horde, i.e. with or without a domain name, and considering any user
name hooks that you enabled.
*

* How can I get back to the setup screen?*
**
*You probably locked yourself out as an administrator because you properly
configured an authentication backend for Horde, but forgot to add yourself
as an administrator in the Horde configuration - see the paragraph above.
If you don't want to start from scratch by copying conf.php.dist to
conf.php again, you need to change the configuration file
horde/config/conf.php manually. Edit the $conf['auth']['admins'] setting
and add your username, e.g. $conf['auth']['admins'] = array('joe'); or
$conf['auth']['admins'] = array(**'joe at example.com'* <'joe at example.com'>*);.
You can add several administrators using a comma separated list.*
**
I found the file horde/config/conf.php and edited the admins line to add
the one account we have access to.

When that user account logs in, shouldn't it have administrative functions
for horde/imp ?

Thank You,
*
