Re: [Evolution] Outlook connector trying to connect to wrong Exchange server

["Christopher Meyer" <kungfoosion gmail com>]

Hi Sushma,

Are there any environment  variables I can set to debug/log my attempts?

If there's any other info I can provide to troubleshoot this, please let me know,
i'll be more than happy to provide as much as possible.

Regards
Christopher

Hi Sushma,

Thanks for replying. I've tried setting the OWA URL exactly the same as I would
access OWA via a browser, but it doesn't work for me. When doing so I get the
following error:

"Could not authenticate to server. Make sure the username and password are correct
and try again". I know my username and password combo definately is correct.

The settings are now as follows:

Username: DOMAIN\name.surname
OWA URL: http://webfrontendexch01/exchange/name.surname

Thanks.

Regards

Christopher

Hi,

Provide the OWA Url and usernames, as you give it to
OWA and it should work.

Some users having a problem in the scenario where windows logon
and is different that mailbox name.
You are also having the similar setup?

Thanks,
Sushma.
