Re: [Evolution] Subscribing to an Exchange shared calendar

["Tom Panning" <lurchvt gmail com>]

Thanks for the reply. I can ping the GC server from the computer that
is running evolution. My computer and the GC server are both inside of
the only firewall that I know of, but the GC server is inaccessible
from outside my company's network. I've been able to search the global
catalog address book, so that seems to be working. I can also access my
own calendar on the exchange server.


I also tried substituting the GC server name for the IP address, and
nothing changed, so I haven't been able to reproduce Bill's behavior.


I'm not at all familiar with the Exchange architecture, but I've been
able to figure out that there are at least three servers involved so
far: the exchange server (that the Outlook client connects to), the
webmail server (which Evolution uses), and the GC/GAL server that
holds the master contact list. Is there yet another server involved in
subscribing to another user's calendar? If there is, is there a way for
me to figure out what that server is using Outlook or Evolution?


Thanks,
Tom

Hi Tom,

Can you access your GC server from outside firewall?  Evolution gets the
required domain/host info from the GC server and then tries to connect
to it using the host name.  If the host-name doesn't get resolved, it
shows "Generic Error".

Check your DNS setup or add that ip/host-name to your /etc/hosts file
and then try subscribing to other user's folder/calendar.

HTH,
