Re: [Evolution] ldap protocol problems

[Chris Toshok <toshok ximian com>]

At present evolution sets the connection to v3 when it initializes it,
and there's no setting to drop the protocol to v2.  Which server are you
running?

The setting is mostly there because of the TLS stuff, so potentially it
could be done only in the case where use_tls != never.
