Auth property getting lost in exchange URIs, when account editor is opened.
Last modified: 2006-02-27 13:59:42 UTC
In exchange connector, supported authentication mechanims dialog appears only in the account editor and not in the account set up druid. Exchange plugin finds the auth mechanism supported by the server and sets it in the account URI automatically when the account is configured. Supported auth mechanisms, in the editor has 2 values, "Secure password" and "plain text password", and auth property corresponding them are auth=NTLM and auth=Basic. When account editor is invoked, emae_receive_page() forms the url from the editor dialog and it doesn't set auth=NTLM, if the auth mechanism is set to "secure password", and the account URI created will have no auth property set and gconf will have the wrong URI. with this, if the editor is opened, subscequent folder operations will fails, as the folder URLs in the hash table and in the gconf doesn't match. Also if server supports only NTLM, any operation would fail.

Sushma: How about committing the fix for stable branch?
kind of major change... broken in 2.4, but many things are broken in 2.4. So i don't want to touch that branch.
