Maybe i have found the reason. I am using evolution-exchange to contact OWA. OWA/Exchange is holding an address-book. If the address-book from OWA can not be reached there is a general error message "can't contact ldap-server".
So evolution is not really trying to contact an ldap-server. Just the error-message is wrong. It must be something like "can't contact (OWA)-Server" instead of "can't contact ldap-server" See also http://alpha-unix.de/~iceroot/ubuntu/evolution-wrong-message.png This can easily be reproduced. When evolution is asking for the password for the OWA-address-book just use a wrong password. It can also be reproduced, when composing a message, click on "To" to open the address-book dialog and remove the Lan-cable. Imo there should be two things: 1. dont use ldap in the error-message when the target is not ldap 2. dont say "can't be reached" when the credentials are wrong (also see my bug https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=668837) ** Bug watch added: GNOME Bug Tracker #668837 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=668837 ** Changed in: evolution-exchange (Ubuntu) Status: New => Confirmed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/922573 Title: [12.04] evolution(-exchange) is trying to contact a ldap server To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/evolution-exchange/+bug/922573/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
