[Bug 25106] Re: evolution-exchange: unable to setup exchange account

[Paul]

I also have the same problem in that Evolution throws the "unknown
error" when I try to add an exchange server.

I actually have two exchange servers that I connect to, and the first
server I configured worked fine.  Server two is at a different location
and I suspect is configured differently.

I also attempted to run this with exchange-connector-setup-2.8 outside
of Evolution, however I had no further success.  I went through the
various contortions of OWAURL/exchange/username, and domain\username in
the authentication fields to no avail.

$ rpm -qa | grep evolution
evolution-webcal-2.7.1-6
evolution-sharp-0.11.1-10.fc6
evolution-2.8.3-1.fc6
evolution-data-server-1.8.3-3.fc6
evolution-data-server-devel-1.8.3-3.fc6
evolution-connector-2.8.3-1.fc6
beagle-evolution-0.2.13-1.fc6

$ uname -a
Linux localhost.localdomain 2.6.19-1.2911.6.5.fc6 #1 SMP Sun Mar 4 16:41:13 EST 2007 i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux

Even so, I may be able to offer some insight.  The OWA url I am having
problems with is running on https, and it has an incorrect encryption
certificate.  It is a private site, and is self-signed but I guess they
changed the server name a while ago and nobody bothered to update the
cert.

The page is self-signed to https://foo.company.com/, however the current
system is running on https://foo2.company.com.  When visiting the site,
the browser prompts you to accept the site in its incorrectly signed
state.  Is it possible that this is a common thread for this problem?

If this is a real problem, I can ask the administrators to update the
security certificate, but I would rather not waste their time idly.

Thanks for your advice!

Paul
