No way to specify user name when connecting to LDAP and GAL servers.

[Mahima]

Binary package hint: evolution

Evolution has no way to specify the username when connecting to LDAP and GAL servers. This causes problems. My user name is TEL0004 on my work network. However, when connecting externally, the username is SCHOOLNET\TEL0004. The server does not authenticate me because evolution always sends my username as TEL0004, not the required SCHOOLNET\TEL0004.
