Pretty sure my latest commits fix this. It was actually due to clients not sending http authentication data on the initial AutoDiscover request. Should be fixed now.

For testing I reverted the change and now the authentication id usage is correct. Even with correct authentication id the authentication still seems to fail in some cases. This is incorrect. The email -> user_id mapping is attempted in Horde_Activesync::authenticate(), which is why it was removed from Horde_ActiveSync_Request_Autodisocover::handle(), it was redundant. Could it be possible that the activesync driver in horde sometimes sends a mangled or broken password to the authenticating activesync / mail server? You are going to need to debug this and figure out what the values for user and password are that are being passed around, I can't reproduce this.

[Show Quoted Text - 13 lines][Hide Quoted Text] It seems this change might have broken authentication with Activesync autoconfigure in some cases: d048b5a83c04ec489b15fbbcfa2a8cd354a1d384 Previously Autosync autoconfigure in horde always seemed to use only the username to authenticate to the activesync / mail server server, but after this or perhaps some other change in the activesync code it now seems to use both the username and the email address for authentication. Would it be possible to revert this change or modify the code so that activesync driver consistently uses username to authenticate to activesync server?
