| Hello | .... | By default, You can access to these database servers, with the username: | "horde" and with no password, from a remote host. Then you will have | permission to list the databases, and to use some of them. In fact, | "horde" and "test" databases are available for reading, and writing, in | many cases. | | ....
If you read the horde_src/docs/INSTALL file there is a section when you configure it that says
Be sure to change the default password, "horde", to something else before creating the tables! (Remember to use this password when you configure Horde in the next step.)
Also the script that creates the mysql database located at horde_src/scripts/db/mysql_create.sql has the following items. Again a warning about changing the password...
USE mysql;
REPLACE INTO user (host, user, password)
VALUES (
'localhost',
'horde',
-- IMPORTANT: Change this password!
PASSWORD('horde')
);Obviously, this was overlooked in whatever installation you were looking at. In fact, it looks like your administrator removed the default horde password and replaced it with nothing...even worse than using the default password.
