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 of problem:
In order to finally make Evolution work, I have removed completely ~/.config/evolution, ~/.cache/evolution, and ~/.local/share/evolution, and restarted evolution. I got the first-time-run account setup wizard and after setting up the Red Hat email account (and expressly checking for availability and selecting GSSAPI as the method of authentication), and finishing the wizard, finally the full Evo window was visible.
Except that, it won't let me go further without entering password. After entering it, I found that the mail account had set password set up as a the mean of authentication.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
evolution-3.8.5-10.el7.x86_64
How reproducible:
happened once
Thanks for a bug report. I cannot reproduce this, the GSSAPI stick for me from the startup wizard. I have 3.8.5-11, but the -11 didn't bring anything significant. Evolution-data-server is 3.8.5-10.

The issue of this bug report has been apparently resolved (after running the first run wizard, I get correctly GSSAPI authentication), but another issue arised: when recovering (both via File/Recovery or by unzipping zipfile with ~/.config/evolution/ ~/.cache/evolution/ ~/.local/share/evolution/) Evolution gets confused and claims that my personal IMAP server has unknown certificate (see attached screenshot). Which is weird, because I have actually purchased commercial certificate from StartCom which should be atuomatically recognized by NSS/OpenSSL/whatever else we have in RHEL (and it works perfectly well with Firefox OS Email, which doesn't allow self-signed certificates).
Should I file a new bug or it is known?
It is what libsoup returned when trying to connect to the server. I'm not sure which certificate authority database is used in libsoup, I think it uses gnutls instead of nss/nspr for this, which may or may not make the difference.
The CalDAV calendar backend only sets
SOUP_SESSION_SSL_STRICT, TRUE,
SOUP_SESSION_SSL_USE_SYSTEM_CA_FILE, TRUE,
on the soup's session.
It'll be better to deal with this in a separate bug report, I would even start with libsoup, at least for a clarification where it searches for certificate authorities and so on.
