GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 307851
Unable to create new Exchange account
Last modified: 2006-03-08 07:05:40 UTC
Version details: 2.2.2 Distribution/Version: 5.3-STABLE Install fresh evolution and ximian-connector from ports. Create /etc/ximian/connector.conf with Global-Catalog defined Start evolution, go through account setup process. Enter full name, email (firstname.lastname@example.com), and click Forward Select server type Microsoft Exchange Enter username (NTDOMAIN\userid) Enter OWA URL (https://webmail.example.com) Click Authenticate Enter password, click OK Dialogue returns, but I am unable to click Forward (it is greyed out). Additional information: I added some debugging g_warning statements in e2k-autoconfig.c. In e2k_autoconfig_new(), I added g_warning(username). It shows that the first time I enter my username, it uses it. All subsequent times it uses firstname.lastname from my email address. If I switch to 'None' for server type and then back, it will once again use my userid the first time, then back to firstname.lastname. When it uses my userid, the dialogue closes with no error. If I use my userid without the NT-Domain, I get this error: ** (evolution:5420): WARNING **: LDAP authentication failed (0x31) If it uses my firstname.lastname, I get: "Could not authenticate to the Exchange server. Make sure the username and password are correct and try again." I also added warnings in e2k_validate_user() that show validate() returns TRUE when it uses my userid and FALSE when it doesn't. Either way, I can't click Forward after authenticating. I was able to run the actest program successfully from the command line with these results (the WARNING is my debug statement): # ./actest NTDOMAIN\\userid https://webmail.example.com/ corp.example.com Password for NTDOMAIN\userid: ** (actest:3804): WARNING **: NTDOMAIN\userid [Default GC: corp.example.com] [Default NT Domain: NTDOMAIN] webmail.example.com is an Exchange Server 2000 Name: lastname, firstname Email: firstname.lastname@example.com Timezone: America/Chicago Account URL: exchange://NTDOMAIN\userid@webmail.example.com/;use_ssl=always;ad_server=corp.example.com;mailbox=firstname.lastname;owa_path=/exchange;pf_server=webmail.example.com Warning: public folder server was defaulted
Can you please set E2K_DEBUG=4, and start evolution and try to create the account, and paste it here. Can you also try to create the account using ximian-connector-setup tool? For Evolution you need to provide the OWA url and passwords as you input to OWA. It is better if you try 2.2.3/2.2.4, whichever is available. Please re-open the bug with the details.
If you haven't tried newer versions yet, please upgrade to 2.6 (which will be out around March 15th). And re-open the bug with the details.
