GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 238854
2 LDAP problems
Last modified: 2013-09-10 14:04:09 UTC
Description of Problem: 1. Evolution sends out an LDAP abandon request packet right after the search request packet regardless of your timeout setting. 2. Evolution sends out the scope to be "Base" when you set the scope to be "Sub" (Base is not listed in drop down box... only Sub and One are..) Steps to reproduce the problem: 1. Add an LDAP server to evolution to log in anonymously... 2. Set the scope to be "Sub" 3. Set timeout to 5 minutes. 4. Run ethereal to capture packets sent to port 389... Actual Results: This is the Summary of packets sent... 63 1318.642333 acnlin24.pbn.bnl.gov ldap.bnl.gov LDAP MsgId=3 MsgType=Search Request 64 1318.642333 acnlin24.pbn.bnl.gov ldap.bnl.gov TCP 44107 > ldap [ACK] Seq=2167329792 Ack=2210177888 Win=46512 Len=0 65 1318.702334 acnlin24.pbn.bnl.gov ldap.bnl.gov LDAP MsgId=4 MsgType=Abandon Request This is the packets themselves...

And if 5 minutes pass without a response ..only then should an abandon request be sent..... How often does this happen? Everytime. Additional Information: I have tested this same LDAP server using ldapsearch and the server works fine....
A lot of changes have been done to the ldap backend. Can you please try with the latest version of evolution and evolution-data-server. Changing to NEEDINFO, please reopen if found to happen in the latest version.
