LDAP fails. Says it can't find the server, but the server is there and spelled correctly. Works in Windows. Problem is probably with the authentifiaction.

[reberhar]

Binary package hint: evolution

Our server is mail.jaars.org

for ID we have to use our whole email address.

e.g. <email address hidden>

The domain is NOT mail.jaars.org. The domain is sil.org.

We use SSL. Authentification is DN. Port 636.

Evolution never asks for a password but simply says the server is spelled wrong or not available.

Our whole organization of 7000 can't use this feature with Evolution because of this problem.

Thank you for your bug.What version of Ubuntu do you use? Could you try getting a debug log as described on http://www.gnome.org/projects/evolution/bugs.shtml?

[reberhar (roy-eberhardt)]

Hi Sebastien,

I am using Ubuntu Feisty Fawn. However LDAP hasn't worked on any of the
Ubuntu versions we use.

I will get you a bug log first chance.

LDAP was causing me heaps of problems, but the Bug is not specific to Ubuntu. It appears that a plugin in Evolution (installed by default) is at fault. It is highly likely that your LDAP settings are fine, you just need to disable the Exchange Operations plugin. To do this, click Edit, then Plugins, and then unmark the Exchange Operations plugin. Exit, and restart Evolution.

Cheers,

Joe Bloggs

Hi Joe,

Thanks for the tip. However, I still have the same problem.
My problem must be different from yours.

Has there been any progress on this problem?
I am trying to connect to a scheduleworld LDAP server.
server: ldap.scheduleworld.com
Port: 389
No encryption
Using distinguished name
Login: uid=xxxxx,dc=scheduleworld,dc=com

If I try to find search bases on the details tab, I get Failed to Authenticate
I get no prompt for my password. So the message is not surprising.
I have removed the exchange add in.

I can access the database using ldapsearch
 ldapsearch -H ldap://ldap.scheduleworld.com:389/ -D "uid=xxxx,dc=scheduleworld,dc=com" -vvv -x -W -L -b "uid=xxxx,dc=scheduleworld,dc=com" -s one

If I run the data server and evolution from the console I see the following.
 evolution

John, have you tried disabling the exchange plugin from the main menu
of Evolution. I found this was the problem on my install.

Same here, on hardy.

[Tobias Strauß (tocomo)]

I can confirm the the bug descriptions, but not the exchange plugin depedencies.

[Julius Roberts (hooliowobbits)]

"I can confirm the the bug descriptions, but not the exchange plugin depedencies."

Ditto. Is it reasonable for me to expect some kind of timely resolution? :)

[Arno Teigseth (arno-teigseth)]

Remember that sometimes DNS is not properly setup. In my organization the computer dept has a mixed setup of resolving IP addresses via DNS and via SMB/NETBIOS/WINS or something samba-related.

I had this exact problem until I tried to ping the address book server from my linux machine, telling me it couldn't be found. From a windows machine it was found. One of the internal webservers are "set up" the same way - only "windows-IP-resolution" works, not DNS.

Solutions:
a) Setting up samba and make it resolve addresses for you might help the situation. If this works it's probably "best" because it mimics whatever windows does, and in my case the computer department mostly think windowsy.

b) or, you could add the address book server IP address to /etc/hosts, like I did and it works like a charm. If you go to Evolution Prefecences, the exchange account and under Receiving options find global catalog server name to be nooslse002.sonnico.local, you need to find out the IP address of that server. I just ran " ping nooslse002.sonnico.local " on a windows machine. Now add that address to your /etc/hosts file:

127.0.0.1 localhost
32.8.8.70 nooslse002 nooslse002.sonnico.local

Bob should now be your uncle. He was in my case; I didn't get the "LDAP authentication failed" and when I composed a new message, the lookup effectively worked. This will break when computer department changes the IP of the global addressbook server. They probably won't, but we're aware of Murphy's law.

To developers: Maybe something could be done already in the settings window, like to see if the server can be contacted at all?

Unfortunately that is not the case in my instance; DNS is fine and
there are no issues with name resolution. The server
(intranet.wilderness.org.au) exists and indeed i can access websites
running on the same server from my linux machine with no worries at
all.

The issue i am having is that i am not getting prompted for
authentication to the LDAP server.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. The issue that you reported is one that should be reproducible with the live environment of the Desktop CD of the development release - Intrepid Ibex. It would help us greatly if you could test with it so we can work on getting it fixed in the next release of Ubuntu. You can find out more about the development release at http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/ . Thanks again and we appreciate your help.

[Julius Roberts (hooliowobbits)]

Hi mate, it's rather unfortunate, but at this particular time our LDAP
contact directory is broken, so i can't test the new evolution. I am
happy to do so when that other issue is resolved, but i cannot at this
stage say when that might be.

kind regards, Jules

Okay, looks like evolution (2.24.1) is in the clear. We have had a
close look at our LDAP server and the problem we were having lies
there; *not* with evolution. Having resolved the LDAP server issues,
LDAP name lookup in evolution is now running fine. Thanks for your
help and sorry to have led you astray.

Kind regards, Jules

I had no luck. It did ask for the password unlike before, but after that it claimed varous things, like no TLS, which I wasn't using. I was using SSL It claimed an authentication error. It never allowed me to enter the password a second time. I tried various ways of logging in.

I have tried on the live 32 bit CD and my currently installed 64 bit 8.10.

I have no control over the LDAP server.

I should add that we can't get it working using SSL/TLS we determined
that was a problem with our LDAP as well. in other words, i can't
confirm evolution is working accessing an LDAP server using SSL/TLS

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering is this still an issue for you? Thanks in advance.

[Julius Roberts (hooliowobbits)]

Hi there, it turns out that our LDAP install was screwy. It's now
working all ok and evolution has a clean bill of health!

Thankyou for getting back to me!! :)

If this still effects anyone, the solution for me was to edit /etc/ldap/ldap.conf and add the line:

TLS_REQCERT never

(You probably then need to restart Evolution.)
