Hi Gunnar,

I had a look at the code in the CVS now and it looks like it's all in there:

in  framework/Kolab/Kolab.php getServer() checks a session variable set in 
horde/config/hooks.php _horde_hook_preauthenticate() that does an ldap lookup 
for kolabHomeServer.

The hook needs to be enabled and multidomain must be set in the horde config.

So it should work fine, good job indeed. Thanks for that.
