Description Felipe Alfaro Solana 2003-10-06 18:42:04 UTC 
Description of Problem: 
Evolution LDAP backend does only support anonymous authentication, and 
plain authentication by either Distinguised Name or User ID. 
 
I would like to see GSSAPI authentication much like the GSSAPI 
authentication of the Camel IMAP provider. OpenLDAP does support a bunch 
of authentication mechanisms which are still not supported by Evolution. 
 
Steps to reproduce the problem: 
1. Configure a new Directory Server backend. 
2. On the General tab, only Anonymous, DN or UID authentication methods 
are provided. 
 
Actual Results: 
SASL/GSSAPI authentication mechanisms are not support for LDAP-based 
backends. 
 
Expected Results: 
I would like to see GSSAPI support for the LDAP backend support. Camel 
IMAP has GSSAPI support and it works beautifully. 
 
How often does this happen?  
Always

Duplicate of #266506, though I have no idea how to mark it as such.
