You should definitely check the config/kolab.php file in your Horde
installation if it has the right connection settings.

If not then you need to check why the corresponding template in
/kolab/etc/kolab/templates does not get transferred into that location
(that should be done by kolabconf).

If the settings in kolab.php look fine you would need to check what
the LDAP server does. But debugging would be definitely more complex
in that case.

I'd go for kolab.php first.

Cheers,

Gunnar
