Patch to allow configure to properly find ldap_ntlm_bind
Created attachment 138125 [details]
Patch to evolution-data-server.spec to enable static ldap
Does always enabling static ldap cause any problems for non-exchange users?
*** Bug 166717 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** This problem also happens in Fedora Core 6. I already applied latest updates to the whole system. The problem still not solved. Does anyone have idea on it? Ian, thanks for the patches. It turns out that evolution-connector also uses
static LDAP and has NTLM support working. So I took a look at how that package
does it and pulled the necessary bits from evolution-connector.spec.
It seems to be working with no modifications to acinclude.m4, according to the
configure output [1]. Let me know if this doesn't solve your problem and I'll
reopen this bug and take second look at your patches.
evolution-data-server-2.10.0-4.fc7
[1] The configuration output now gives...
checking for ldap_ntlm_bind... yes
...
evolution-data-server has been configured as follows:
Mail Directory: /var/spool/mail, writable by group mail
LDAP support: /usr/lib/evolution-openldap (static)
NNTP support: yes
Kerberos 4/5: no/yes (MIT)
Gnome Keyring: no/
SSL support: yes (Mozilla NSS)
SMIME support: yes (Mozilla NSS)
IPv6 support: yes
Berkeley DB: dynamically linked
Exchange support: yes
Dot Locking: no

Description of problem: When attempting to use "Contacts" in the Exchange Global Address List an error message pops up indicating unable to open address book. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 1.6.3-1.fc5.2, but also seen in 1.8.0-2.fc6 from development. How reproducible: Always, but may depend on configuration of the exchange server. Steps to Reproduce: 1.Create an exchange account 2.Select secure authentication 3.Select the exchange Global Address List. Actual results: An eroor pops up indicating unable to open address book. Expected results: Address book opened and able to find contacts in address book. Additional info: Even though this seems like a problem in evolution-connector it is not. It is evolution its self which connects to the global address list, but it does it using a library from evolution-data-server. When building evolution-data-derver from the SRPM, the following is output is logged: checking for ldap_ntlm_bind... no and later: evolution-data-server has been configured as follows: Mail Directory: /var/spool/mail, writable by group mail LDAP support: /usr (dynamic) NNTP support: yes Kerberos 4/5: no/yes (MIT) SSL support: yes (Mozilla NSS) SMIME support: yes (Mozilla NSS) IPv6 support: yes Exchange support: no Dot Locking: no File Locking: fcntl Large files: yes Gtk Doc: no configure: WARNING: No NTLM support in OpenLDAP; Plaintext password authentication will be used when connecting to the Exchange Global Catalog server. Consider installing the evo-openldap package, or building OpenLDAP with the patch in servers/exchange/docs/openldap-ntlm.diff I have the correct library installed from openldap-devel-2.3.19-4, but it is not being used. To fix this, static_ldap needs to be defined, but this is not sufficient by its self, because configuration still fails to find ldap_ntlm_bind. The attached patches fix the problem. It is possible that some of this would not be necessary if openldap-devel supplied a .la file to specify dependancies.
