Plain http doesn't work, as port 80 on that machine is closed. Port 443 is the only one open.
I can access OWA just fine, either with a web browser, or with the following command: Prompt$ wget --http-user=MYDOMAIN\\myusername --http-passwd=mypasswd https://<server-address>/exchange/<email-account>/ This pulls back the correct index.htm page, no problems. When I enter the same url into the OWA-location box in evolution I get the same-old "authentication error" problem. I can take a deeper look into it with ethereal, but all I can confirm is that the connection gets made, not that anything is sent correctly as the whole conversation is encrypted. --saul -----Original Message----- From: Peter Robinson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, July 13, 2005 12:14 PM To: Farber, Saul (ENV) Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Evolution] Evolution and Exchange I'm using evolution on FC4 connecting to exchange with no major problems. I just used the Create new mail account dialog from within preferences to setup the account and it works fine. You also need to make sure you can access Outlook Web Mail from the machine your using as that is what it uses to talk to the exchange server. Can you try plain http and see if that work?
