Hi, I have an issue with evolution/evolution-ews and the GAL in a hosted Exchange environment.
Here's the details of my environment: - Fedora 18 beta - fully updated. - Evolution - 3.6.2 release 3.fc18 x86_64 - Evolution-EWS - 3.6.1 release 1.fc18 x86_64 Exchange is hosted from Rackspace currently, which appears to be Exchange 2010. The good news is that mail and calendar work perfect work perfectly with this latest version. However, I seem to have problems with the GAL. Here's what I've observed: - If I access our Exchange service via a web browser I can clearly see both my contacts and valid users in the GAL. - When I setup Evolution, the 'Fetch URL' function appears to work correctly and a 'Host URL' and an 'OAB URL' are automatically filled out. - One minor issue: If I click 'Check for Supported Types' (for Authentication), that operation always fails with a 'Failed to query server for a list of supported authentication mechanisms. Query for authentication types is not supported' message. - Under 'Receiving Options' if I check 'Cache offline address book' then click 'Fetch list', that operation causes an authentication request pop-up that wants my Exchange account pw. I enter the requested password, but it fails to accept it no matter how many times I attempt to enter it. - If I go to Contacts, I can select my 'contacts' and can see whatever exists on the Exchange server. However, when I select 'global address list' no entries appear. Searching for a known entry also displays nothing. - Interestingly, if I compose an email and click on the 'To' button, and have Address Book: = Global Address List selected, I can successfully occasionally search for an find users from the GAL. In order to get this to work, I seem to have to toggle the Address Book selection to Contacts and then back to the Global Address List setting. - After the above succeeds, going back to Contacts still shows nothing in the GAL. - I also have noticed that the authentication doesn't seem to be retained properly by keyring most of the time when I start Evolution, I'm re-prompted for my Exchange password, although this is frustratingly inconsistent. Any help on the above that anyone could give would be appreciated! I've looked at koji and I don't see any newer version of evolution-ews for F18. Is the above the expected behavior, although it doesn't seem quite correct to me. Thanks in advance for any help on this matter! -- Mike Hinz _______________________________________________ evolution-list mailing list evolution-list@gnome.org To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
