        Hi,
the OWA and the EWS interfaces are quite different things. The
evolution-ews cannot deal with redirected password prompts, definitely
not those where you are asked in a web page to provide your
credentials. The evolution-ews is not a browser, thus cannot deal with
such requests.

A chance would be if you'd be able to setup some tunnel, where you'll
pre-authenticate and then the evolution-ews will connect through that
tunnel, which will be already unlocked.

The last time I heard about similar pre-authentication, it was handled
per machine/IP/MAC, which meant that you did the pre-authentication in
a browser, then any application could access the site behind this
"security wall" without being asked for the extra credentials. Hard to
tell whether your site works the same, you might give it a try. If
it'll work, then you do not need any tunnel.

By the way, how does Outlook handle this situation?
