<user>@<domain> vs. <domain>\<user>

Rate this Message:
Hi all,
just in case someone else is struggling with this, too: I found that in Evolution 2.4.2 the global address list only worked for me when I chose the <domain>\<user> format. With <user>@<domain> I had access to email and calender, but LDAP authentication failed. I tracked it down into the source (compiled via Garnome 2.12.2) and found that at the lowest level where the LDAP/NTLM authentication is done (the call to xntlm_authenticate() in e2k-global-catalog.c, line 282) my <user>@<domain> had not been split into user and domain, as expected by that code. Instead it tried to authenticate against the default domain, which is not the one where my account exists; besides, the user name also was wrong because it still had the @<domain> suffix. With <domain>\<user> the two parts where separated and authentication was successful. I'm not sure whether this is considered a bug, so I haven't filed a bug report yet, but can do so. -- Best Regards, Patrick Ohly The content of this message is my personal opinion only and although I am an employee of Intel, the statements I make here in no way represent Intel's position on the issue, nor am I authorized to speak on behalf of Intel on this matter. _______________________________________________ Connector mailing list Connector@... http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/connector |

Yes, As of now Exchange connector supports
<username> or <domainname>\<username> But if one can authenticate using username@domainname (email id) through OWA, then Exchange Connector also should support it. You can definitely file a bug on this. Please http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=323345 and see if there is already a bug on this before filing a new bug. Thanks, Sushma.

A lot of code inside the Connector already does, otherwise user@domain would fail completely, which it doesn't. In fact, I vaguely remember that some people reported success only when using that format. It's just the LDAP related code which does not handle it. > You can definitely file a bug on this.
