Description of problem: trying to access a global address list configured in the exchange connecter results in the following dialog box: "Error loading addressbook. We were unable to open this addressbook. This either means you have entered an incorrect URI, or the server is unreachable." Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): $ rpm -qa |grep evolution evolution-data-server-devel-1.6.3-1.fc5.2 evolution-2.6.3-1.fc5.5 evolution-data-server-1.6.3-1.fc5.2 evolution-webcal-2.4.1-3.4 evolution-sharp-0.10.2-9.5 evolution-connector-2.6.3-1.fc5 How reproducible: attempt to access a global adress list not on the same server as the exchange server Steps to Reproduce: 1. configure evolution to use exchange 2. (re) start exchange and login to mail box 3. access the contacts 4. attempt to open the "Global Address List" Actual results: error above Expected results: the ability to search the GAL Additional info: I've tested this on two different boxes, both are fully up2date FC5 boxes (as of todays date). Same results on both. One box is i386 and one is x86_64 (running x86_64 release of FC5).
Created attachment 134660 [details] output of manually starting /usr/libexec/evolution-data-server-1.6 and trying to access the GAL (several times)
Created attachment 134662 [details] screen shot of the gal config page notice how the gal IP address is not the same as the one in the /usr/libexec/evolution-data-server-1.6 log attatched earlier.
I performed a fresh fc6t3 install and I'm fully yum updated on a i386 box. I continue to encounter the same failures. The IP address of the GAL server is the same as is used in working RHEL4 installs other in the office use.

This is true for me also -- The gal:// url is taken from the owa address entered. (in my case www.exchange.iu.edu instead of the gal address of ads.iu.edu) changing the value in the gconf key /apps/evolution/addressbook/sources doesn't seem to fix it
Problem persists in FC6 final.
