After several trials, here are the parameters that work for me. First of all, you need to know two parameters: the Windows domain <win_domain> and the registered domain name as known by your DNS <domain_name> (typically, every server you can connect to has an address following the scheme <server_name>.<domain_name>). You first have to know where reside the server holding the GAL. Typically, this is a domain controller. Ask your IT department or try the following command: dig -t any _ldap._tcp.dc._msdcs.<win_domain>.<domain_name> This should return a server holding the GAL. Now, you can create a new LDAP address book in evolution with the following parameters. In the 'Address Book Properties'->'General' tab, Server: the GAL server name. Port: 3268 Both 'TLS encryption' and 'No encryption' worked for me. Login method: 'Using distinguished name (DN)' Login: <win_domain>\<win_login_name> In the 'Address Book Properties'->'General' tab, Use the 'Find Possible Search Bases' and look for something sensible. In my case, it is 'DC=<domain_name_first_label>, DC=<domain_name_second_label>. Search scope: 'Sub' The search filter could be used to limit the results to actual person names. I'm still looking into this... Hope this helps.
