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



i'm connecting to an older exchange 5.5 server for ldap contacts, and it
no longer works with evo 1.2.  it worked perfect with 1.0.8.  i think it
has something to do with the fact that its an ldap v2 server, and not a
v3.   i have no problems connecting to our newer iplanet directory.

Got it working,
   edited evolution/addressbook-sources.xml which shows the config for
the LDAP server

I changed the 
    <scope>base</scope>

to     <scope>sub</scope>

and all worked OK.

Of course if you edit this in the GUI, the drop down combo shows only
one and base and if you change it, you lose your manual over-ride.

Does anyone have evo 1.2 working with MS Exchange LDAP server?.. if
so can you provide details of the configuration.. bind, scope etc

I've monitored evo and gq using Ethereal.. 

Results from using gq (which works)
firstly, it binds but with simple authentication and dn and password
set to NULL

Lightweight Directory Access Protocol
    Message: Id=1  Bind Request
        Message Length: 7
        Version: 2
        DN: (null)
        Auth Type: Simple (0x00)
        Password: (null)

Evo won't allow you to set dn and password to NULL.. you either
don't bind at all or use non-null email or dn binding... both of
which fail on my LDAP server.

Then for the search, gq does the following:
Lightweight Directory Access Protocol
    Message: Id=2  Search Request
        Message Length: 33
        Base DN: (null)
        Scope: Subtree (0x02)
        Dereference: Never (0x00)
        Size Limit: 0
        Time Limit: 0
        Attributes Only: False
        Filter: (cn=*long*)

Evo which can't do NULL binds, goes straight for the search and does
the following:
Lightweight Directory Access Protocol
    Message: Id=7  Search Request
        Message Length: 53
        Base DN: (null)
        Scope: Base (0x00)
        Dereference: Never (0x00)
        Size Limit: 100
        Time Limit: 0
        Attributes Only: False
        Filter: (|(cn=*long*)(sn=*long*))

The search string given to gq was "long" and because it was
configured for searching cn with a "contains" rule, it added the *
before and after the string.

The evo search fails with just "long" and "*long*" when I tried to
emulate the gq search.

All I can assume is that it fails because I can't set the scope to
be subtree (evo only allows base and one to be selected) or it has
something to do with the inability to bind with dn=NULL,
password=NULL.

I confirmed with my admin that we don't support a bind.. so I'm
inclined to believe that the subtree is the cause.

When I was using evo back on the 1.0.X days, I had LDAP working..
its only since I moved to evo 1.2 that it doesn't work.

Anyone care to offer suggestions/solutions?

   Cormac
