Hi, this is to track the workaround to a bug with the addressbook
settings not properly handled by evolution, which tend to render the
LDAP addressbooks unaccessible.


I have a LDAP server which requires simple authentication (works well
with ldapsearch -x).

Evolution is not able to connect to it if the addressbook preferences
are defined using the "Use secure connection" setting to "whenever
possible".

I would assume that a first try is made and then only if it fails, it
will default to no authentication.

But it fails until I change the setting to "never".

Oh, and also until evolution-data-server is restarted (for the settings to
be activated)

See bug #271817 in Gnome's bugzilla : http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=271817
and also http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=273290...

Hop this helps others to properly configure LDAP addressbooks.

stop

It is no longer possible to set "whenever possible", so this cannot be a
problem any more.

This is a bug; at least evolution must be restarted..
