WOHttpAllowHost determines what addresses the daemon should accept
connections from.  Mine looks like -
        WOHttpAllowHost = (
            localhost,
            "127.0.0.1",
            "localhost.localdomain"
        );

What is the URL you are connecting to the daemon with?  Does it contain
something like {hostname}:20000?  If so your setup is incorrect,  you
should just be able to specify the host name http://{hostname}/RPC2

Can you visit http://{hostname}/RPC2 with a browser?

It connects Apache to the OGo daemons,  here is is misspelled,  it is
"ngobjweb"

If LDAP is configured it works for all services.  Yes,
username/password usually constitutes BASIC credentials.
