[opensuse] Can't get Evolution 2.30 to connect to an Exchange Global Address List

I'm just curious if anyone else has had an issues with Evolution 2.30
(from the openSUSE 11.3 release) connecting with to a MS Exchange 2003
GAL. Because I've gone round and round with this one and I can't get it
to work.

Evolution itself will connect and display the email messages. I can
even see the regular contacts stored on the Exchange server. But every
time I try to open the GAL, I get this error message:

Unable to open address book
This address book cannot be opened. This either means
that an incorrect URI was entered, or the server is
unreachable.
Detailed error message: Other error

I've checked and my entry in the GAL field is correct. And I have an
11.2 box that has no problems connecting, so I know that the server is
available.

I've tried connecting with:
- a fresh install (evolution-exchange 2.30.1-2.12)
- a fully patched install (which has no Evolution updates)
- using the Gnome 2.30 repository (evolution-exchange 2.30.3-1.1)

None of them work. They all give the same error message.

In desperation, I tried Ubuntu 10.10 (which runs Evolution 2.30.3); and
it is able to connect to the GAL.

For the record, I'm using the 32 bit version of openSUSE 11.3.

Thanks

Ken
