evolution makes libldap2 to ignore ldap.conf and makes tls logins
impossible because it is not able to check the cert.

Hi!

Almost two years ago you sent a bug report to evolution:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=196904

Can you still reproduce this bug with the latest evolution version (2.0.3
is in Sarge these days)?

If you still can reproduce this bug, could you specify the steps to be
taken in order to reproduce it?

Thanks

This bug still exists. If you have a self signed tls certificate you
need to tell evolution where the certificate is, this is normally done
in ~/.ldaprc or /etc/ldaprc :

TLS_CACERT              <path-to-cert>

But evolution doesn't read either of these files. A workaround is to run

TLS_CACERT=<path-to-cert> evolution

or (as I do) set TLS_CACERT in ~/.profile.

The other solution would be to be able to import the certificate into
evolution and for it to use it. (currently importing the certificate
does nothing)

The upstream bug is here (against evolution-data-server)
