a missing GUI option would not be a problem at all.

I have stuided these entries but could not manage to get GSSAPI
working.

I have now built version 3.41.2 from source. The modifications
mentioned in the link above are contained.

The .source file is modified like this:

  [Authentication]
  Host=calendar
  Method=GSSAPI
  Port=80
  ProxyUid=system-proxy
  RememberPassword=true
  User=me
  CredentialName=
  IsExternal=false

Evolution keeps asking for a normal account/password, even after
restart of the complete evolution eco system.

Is there any debugging one can do? It seems that we are very close to
the goal.


Thanks and best regards



Torsten
