Re: [Evolution] kerberos WORKING

[Arren Mund <ascottm iastate edu>]

the solution:
don't use MIT kerb5.  you get that error.  if anyone has successfully
gotten it to work with kerb5 let me know what you did.

to install i did this:
downloaded, unpacked, and compiled krb4-1.1.  my configure was as so:
 ./configure --prefix=/opt/kerb4 --enable-shared=yes
(in case anyone reading this doesn't know, --prefix=(path) specifies a
different place to install the program then the default)

i believe the --enable-shared=yes is necessary, but even if it isn't 
it's worth having the shared as well as static libraries.

next, of course, you need to setup your /etc/krb.conf.  ask a friend or
look online for the exact syntax, and you'll have to talk to some from
your university/company/whatever to find out the info that goes in the
file.

that compiled just great, so then i moved on to evolution.  i downloaded
evolution-1.0, and BerkleyDB 3.1.17.  i just did a generic
configure/make/make install for Berkley DB.

then with the evolution configure i did as so:
./configure --with-krb4=/opt/kerb4 --with-db3=/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.3.1
--prefix=/opt/evolutionkerb

it went along it's way.  i did notice in my config.log a whole bunch of
kerberos stuff related to des, but i'm not entirely sure why or whether
it matters, and for now i'm just glad it's working at all.

after a 'make "MAKE=make -j8" -j8" (the -j8 just for SMP compile) and a
good nights rest (it's a very long compile, even with two processors) i
got up, did a 'make install' and ran evolution.  in the mail settings
option i chose kerberos as my autentication type.

in order for it to work, you need to run 'kinit (username)' before you
check your mail or you'll get a "no kerberos tickets cached" or
something similar error. (have the developers maybe thought about adding
an option to have evolution run kinit?)

that's it.  about 2-3 weeks of hacking these programs summed up in one
e-mail.
