I have managed to make it work by killing e-addressbook-server and all the other evolution processes, deleting the ldap password from my keyring and starting again. It is conceivable that the keyring became corruupt, but the password has not changed in yonks, so something is rotten somewhere.

Status in “evolution” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: I am connecting to ldap addressbooks on port 389, with no encryption. The addressbooks work OK on my desktop at work. From my laptop at home using wifi I keep getting error 0x32 - insufficient access. Logout/login does not cure the problem. Reboot does not clear the problem. I can run ldapsearch with no problems.
