you must be referring to this:

 * postauthenticate
 * ----------------
 * This hook is used to dynamically alter the login credentials after
 * authentication occurs.
 *
 * Parameters in:
 *   $userId (string): The Horde ID.
 *   $credentials (array): The array of credentials used for authentication.
 *
 * The return value from this hook is as follows:
 *   [throw Horde_Auth_Exception] - Fatal error.
 *   false (boolean) - Authentication will fail.
 *   true (boolean) - Authentication succeeds with no alteration of the
 *                    credentials.
 *   (array) - Replace the credentials with the given value.

I did various tests and and none of them worked. Something as simple as the following funcion is ignored.

public function postauthenticate($userId, $credentials)
{
     return false;
}

(bug report: http://bugs.horde.org/ticket/11389 )

sorry if I'm missing something very simple, but where is the error?
