RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Jiri Koten 2013-10-29 09:44:57 UTC
Description of problem:
When scheduling meeting, evolution can query Free/Busy time for meeting attendees. But it returns wrong time, it seems to be shifted by two ours in my case.

I'm using EWS backend and MS Exchange 2010 server.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
evolution-exchange-2.32.3-16.el6
evolution-data-server-2.32.3-18.el6
evolution-2.32.3-30.el6

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. On first account create an appointment - make sure it shows time as busy
2. On second account schedule a meeting request with first account as required participant an choose the same time as the app. created in the first step
3. Query Free/Busy Time 

Actual results:
It shows wrong time, doesn't show that the participant is busy at the given time

Expected results:
It shows that participant is busy

It was closed upstream recently[0]. I do believe that Milan had this commit back ported to RHEL 6.5, as commit: ca3bb358ef5784450c930dcf8889e129eecc9461

[0]: https://git.gnome.org/browse/evolution-ews/commit/?id=85eae2d7e225320fbf6f81d67d172cdafd094944

Also, I think this bug is duplicated of #1018301

Right, the upstream fix was added within evolution-exchange-2.32.3-15.el6, as part of bug #1018301.

I see, the times are expected in UTC, thus there might be some issue with timezone correction.

for evolution-ews;

Because the Free/Busy is expected in UTC, but EWS' calendar backend has set other than that 'default_timezone', it applies the shift from UTC twice, once in the backend, the other time in the evolution's UI. RHEL7 (3.8.5) doesn't seem to be affected, same as 3.10/3.11 is not affected, because it doesn't change the backend's default_timezone anymore. I'll apply the change to 3.10/3.11 anyway, to have sources in sync.

Comment 4 Milan Crha 2013-11-12 07:36:18 UTC
Upstream commits in evolution-ews: a018dda on master (3.11.2+), 0416799 on gnome-3-10 (3.11.3+).

Thinking of it, maybe you can clone the bug for rhel7 as well, if for nothing then to be sure and to have code in sync.
