Are they using some antique version of Outlook? I think it's done the
right thing by default since Outlook 2000. Anyway, yes, there is
something they can set to switch to using iCalendar, but I don't
remember where it is any more. Searching for "Outlook 98 iCalendar" on
support.microsoft.com will probably turn it up.

I'm not a 5.5 expert, but I think the default setting on 5.5's LDAP
server is to not even require authentication. Have you tried that?

If not, are you sure you have the right DN? You could also try using
your email address or "DOMAIN\username" as the DN. (As in, tell Evo to
authenticate by DN, not by email address, but give it your email address
or username as the DN.)
