From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0 Description of problem: Exchange OWA servers with SSL and "Forms" based authentication page cannot be logged into using evolution-connector prior to the current 2.0.3 release from the Gnome foundation. It is a known bug that is mentioned in the release notes for 2.0.3 I have had the fortune of testing this 2.0.3 release from a Debian system and it worked. The same behavior with 2.0.2 was seen on the Debian box. Would appreciate it greatly if the v2.0.3 (latest STABLE release from gnome foundation) could be packaged up. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): evolution-connector-2.0.2-1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Have a Microsoft Exchange/OWA server with SSL and FORMS based authentication page configured. 2. Have evolution & evolution-connector version < 2.0.3 3. When trying to log in the password dialogue hangs for about 2 minutes, then a message about failed login and asks for password again. Expected Results: After entering correct password with correct authentication information, the personal folders list should be displayed and the mail app should work intuitively. Additional info: Version 2.0.3 of evolution-connector is the latest STABLE version from gnome.org it was released on Dec-08-2004, there were other bugs marked as fixed as well, this might fix many other peoples problems?
evolution-connector-2.0.3 should turn up in Rawhide in the next 12 hours or so; please can you test this and see if this fixes the problem. Thanks
Tried these new evolution*-2.0.3 packages to fix my other bug (similar to 139943), but other problem occured: I am not able to use my account any more because the "authentication type" has been changed and cannot be changed back to original. "Authentication type" can be found from menu: tools -> "settings" -> select your account and "edit" -> "receiving mail". Evolution forces "Secure password" as authentication type and if it changed to "plaintext password" the change won't happen after pressing "ok". Also tried to restart evolution. Packages are: evolution-2.0.3-1.i386.rpm evolution-connector-2.0.3-1.i386.rpm evolution-data-server-1.0.3-2.i386.rpm (and to satisfy depencies: libgal2-2.2.4-1.i386.rpm).. :-(
The 2.0.3 packages fixed my problem with the OWA-2003-SSL+Forms based authentication page. I can see may mail, calendars, tasks, all work well. It also seems much faster! :-)
I'm closing this bug as fixed in 2.0.3, since the original problem appears to have been fixed. If you are still experiencing problems with changing the authentication type, please open this as a separate bug. Thanks.
