Re: [Evolution] Active Directory LDAP browsing using Evolution. Help if you can!

[Shiva Shankar <shiva elance com>]

that worked for me. i am able to browse the AD now. is it possible to
setup address auto completion against the "Global Catalog" instead of
the default ldap port? i am using Evo 10.0.5 on Redhat 7.3.
thanks
