From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1; (R1 1.5); .NET CLR 1.1.4322) Description of problem: When trying to setup my exchange account in evolution (as you do the first type you run it) I cannot authenticate against the server. I can connect to the server using the same password using MS Outlook, OWA, Evolution 1.4 (RHEL3). After some investigation it seems that if my password contains an + symbol then evolution (account wizard) will fail to authenticate me. If not, all works ok. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install FC4 2. Set your exchange password to have a + in it 3. Start Evolution 4. Go through the add account wizard, select MS Exchange as your server 5. Click Authenticate. Actual Results: Authentication failure Expected Results: Authentication accepted Additional info:
Thanks for this bug report. To isolate the problem further, it will be useful to know what kind of authentication is being tried. What are the settings in use in Evolution 1.4 ? Do you know if the server is using Forms Based Authentication?
The server is using Forms Based Authentication. I should have also mentioned that Evolution 2.0 (RHEL4) also authenticates ok. The settings for evolution 1.4 and 2.0... Exchange Server: exchangeserver.domainname Windows Username: username Never Use SSL connection Secure Password for authentication Mailbox name: username OWA path: /exchange Public folder server: exchangeserver.domainname The settings for evolution 2.2... username: domain\username OWA: https://owa.domainname
