Re: [Evolution] Evo 1.2 & LDAP with MS Exchange Server -- Sorted

[Dick Roth <raroth7 attbi com>]

Chris--

I don't know what kind of server, except that it is not Exchange (the
server is unix-based).  Here is the .xml:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<addressbooks>
  <contactserver>
    <name>Lincoln Directory</name>
    <description/>
    <port>389</port>
    <host>llph</host>
    <rootdn>o=mit_lincoln_laboratory</rootdn>
    <scope>one</scope>
    <authmethod>none</authmethod>
    <ssl>never</ssl>
    <limit>200</limit>
  </contactserver>
</addressbooks>

wombat results:

[dick raroth downloads]$ wombat

I tried changing the scope to "base", "sub" and "one", without
productive result.  The wombat exchange above is reflective of trying
the search twice, once "sub" and once "one" as offered in the Settings
tool.

Chris, I feel compelled to say that I don't use Evo because it bears a
resemblance to Outlook.  I have never seen Outlook (nor do I care to). 
I use it because it has been a great tool in doing business day to day. 
Given this and my hope that the Linux desktop can become a true
competitor in the marketplace, I hope that future releases of Evo and
other great Gnome (Ximian and otherwise) tools will become defect-free
enough to win some decisions to move from the MS paradigm to Open
Source.

Here's looking at you...
