Could someone tell me if (where?) I'm wrong here:
 - Autodiscover mechanism won't let us define the login used (I found
nothing in shema that could help in that - checked
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg663411%28v=exchg.80%29.aspx )

 - the 'preauthenticate' hook do change the login used for
authentication, but not for registering device (am I using the right
hook, is activesync an application or part of the Core ?

How may I solve this problem ? Is there a way to attache a device seen
by horde with 'user at domain.ext' to 'user_login' ?

Am I looking for the right thing ?
