[Evolution] Re: gpilot sync works with local contacts, but not with LDAP contacts (Evolution 2.6.1)

[Michael Jastram <micky alum mit edu>]

Hello,

I didn't get any responses on my gpilot/LDAP Problem - anybody out there
who can give me a t least a pointer to troubleshooting?

By reading the postings on the list, I get the impression that quite a
few people successfully sync Evolution with LDAP.  Can one of those
maybe give me hints? E.g. what Login Method do you use, how does
eaddrconduit access the LDAP credentials, etc.  Are there any tricks to
sync against an LDAP server?

Again, I tried it with and without authentication, and in both cases I
get the "contacts needs authentication" message from gpilot, while
Evolution doesn't ask me for authentication (not at all with no
authentication, and only once with authentication).

Thanks a lot!

Michael
