Ok, now you are talking.
Here is what you need to put in the sources.php.

Assuming: 
  * each user's address book is under
    ou=People,uid=SOMETHING,ou=People,dc=birddog,dc=com
  * turba is set to authentify via IMP.



'root'	=> 'ou=People, uid=' . $GLOBALS['imp']['user'] ,
',ou=People,dc=birddog,dc=com',
'bind_dn' => 'uid=' . $GLOBALS['imp']['user'] .
',ou=People,dc=birddog,dc=com',
'bind_password' => Secret::read(Secret::getKey('imp'),
$GLOBALS['imp']['pass']),

I dont know if its a bad idea. 
It does work, and I dont see any security concerns, then again, Chuck
has a better information on the Auth stuff and Horde in general.


Let me know if it works.
