mail server is an Exchange server, and mail client is mail-client/evolution-2.26.3 After I upgraded net-dns/openldap from 2.3.43 to 2.4.19, evolution contact queries as well as the access to Global Address List stopped working. If I run evolution from the command line I get the following error: ** (evolution:27275): WARNING **: LDAP authentication failed (0x31 (Invalid credentials)) When composing an email, email addresses are no longer automatically suggested and if I go to Contacts and select Global Address List I get an error which goes something like this (translated from Portuguese): ------- Error reading address book Unable to open address book. This means that the URI is incorrect or that the server is inaccessible. ------- If I just go back to net-dns/openldap-2.3.43 I do not get the errors and everything works fine.

Two possible issues: * stricter with self-signed certificates (you must check your ldap.conf settings) * suppression of the ldap database backend you were using previously (I had to migrate mine to hdb iirc)
Regarding the two issues you pointed out, maybe I don't understand, but here are my comments: * stricter with self-signed certificates (you must check your ldap.conf settings) The /etc/openldap/ldap.conf is the default, I never changed it in any version of openldap. I actually think that evolution does not use this file, but uses the details that are set in the account configuration under "Global Address Book / Active Directory". * suppression of the ldap database backend you were using previously (I had to migrate mine to hdb iirc) If by the backend you mean the LDAP server, well it is an Active Directory, I don't have a choice.
Active directory ??? Are you actually using evolution-exchange ?

Do you get the same with net-nds/openldap-2.4.19-r1 ?
(In reply to comment #5) > Do you get the same with net-nds/openldap-2.4.19-r1 ? > The situation is exactly the same.
Could you test with mail-client/evolution-2.28.3.1? It includes a lot of upstream fixes over current stable one Good luck!
Maybe an openldap problem: http://cvs.fedoraproject.org/viewvc/devel/openldap/README.evolution?view=markup http://cvs.fedoraproject.org/viewvc/devel/openldap/openldap-2.4.6-evolution-ntlm.patch?view=markup

Actually the ebuild for openldap-2.3.43, which as I mentioned works, includes a patch named "openldap-2.2.6-ntlm.patch" which seems to be the patch mentioned by you. The ebuild for openldap-2.4.19-r1 does not include this patch.

I'm not sure if this is really an openldap problem or an evolution/exchange-connector problem, but regardless, I cannot get evolution working with my company Exchange server. I'll take suggestions, or am I really in the wrong place asking for help?

This was my problem. I guess everyone can ignore my last couple of comments :).
In 2.4.28-r1.
