I wouldn't expect this to work. If you go into the Auth class and
modify it so that you can use the UID I believe you will break Horde
in many places. I did not analyze the situation in detail but I
believe when Horde accesses the Kolab IMAP server a lot of the
procedures are dependent on knowing the users mail address.

Maybe there are workarounds to some parts and you could probably even
recode it so that Horde internally uses the UID and always calls back
on LDAP to get the mail address if required. But somehow I don't think
this makes much sense or would be worth the effort.

The current solution allows UID login by simply rewriting the UID to
the mail address on the login and thus getting the primary identifier
early on. On a standard Kolab server this works just fine.

Maybe you can describe in more detail why you need it to work with the
UID?

Cheers,

Gunnar
