GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 323637
<user>@<domain> vs. <domain>\<user>
Last modified: 2006-01-27 14:16:32 UTC
Distribution/Version: RH 9.0 Setup an account with <user>@<domain> as username. OWA access works with that, and Connector can access mail and calender on the Exchange server. What does not work is the global address list: there is an error on the console about failed LDAP authentication instead. If "<user>@<domain>" is supposed to be valid, then this should be fixed. I tracked it down into the source (compiled via Garnome 2.12.2) and found that at the lowest level where the LDAP/NTLM authentication is done (the call to xntlm_authenticate() in e2k-global-catalog.c, line 282) my <user>@<domain> had not been split into user and domain, as expected by that code. Instead it tried to authenticate against the default domain, which is not the one where my account exists; besides, the user name also was wrong because it still had the @<domain> suffix. With <domain>\<user> the two parts where separated and authentication was successful.
