GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 236008
evolution confused if the same LDAP host added twice
Last modified: 2013-09-10 13:56:11 UTC
During my experiments with the LDAP server I happened to add the same server twice - anonymously and with authorization. It seems to me evolution confused those two - I was not asked for the password at all, from slapd traces I could see that whichever directory I used, the searches were executed anonymously. Steps to reproduce the problem: 1. Configure/find some LDAP server which can be used both anonymously and with login 2. Create two Directory Server entries, both responding to the same server but with different access settings. 3. Try to force evolution to request the password. I am not sure whether this happens always or something matters (the name I give, the order in which servers are added).
Can you use some recent version of evolution and try this now?
Closing this bug report as no further information has been provided. Please feel free to reopen this bug if you can provide the information asked for. Thanks!
I have not been using evolution for about 3 years, so I am not able to make new tests or provide additional details. Nevertheless, I think that the test I described above is rather easy to execute, so maybe it would make sense to perform it before closing the bug....
