GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 476922
Kerberos / Negotiate doesn't work for CalDAV
Last modified: 2021-05-19 12:15:10 UTC
Please describe the problem: With RSCDS, apache and mod_auth_kerb, CalDAV with mod_auth_kerb should work with the patch I've just made. However, in evolution the kerberos authentication does not appear to work. Steps to reproduce: 1. Setup RSCDS with mod_auth_kerb with only KrbMethodNegotiate 2. Add the calendar to evolution Actual results: Calendar stays empty, read-only Expected results: Calendar should be filled, the kerberos ticket should be used for authentication Does this happen every time? yes Other information:
I can confirm this bug with Apple Calendar server. Evolution keeps on asking me my password. Looking further into the source of evolution, I it seems that evolution uses kerberos only for the exchange plugin in plugins/exchange-operations/exchange-account-setup.c and plugins/exchange-operations/exchange-config-listener.c Is this correct, and kerberos authentication is not used anywhere else?
Bumping version to a stable release.
Thanks for a bug report. CalDAV uses libsoup, and it lacks support of kerberos authentication currently. When it has it done, this might be addressed as well.
GNOME is going to shut down bugzilla.gnome.org in favor of gitlab.gnome.org. As part of that, we are mass-closing older open tickets in bugzilla.gnome.org which have not seen updates for a longer time (resources are unfortunately quite limited so not every ticket can get handled). If you can still reproduce the situation described in this ticket in a recent and supported software version, then please follow https://wiki.gnome.org/Community/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines and create a new bug report ticket at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/evolution/-/issues/ Thank you for your understanding and your help.
