Package: kdepim-wizards
Version: 4:3.5.9-5
Severity: normal
We have a Scalix server for mail and shared calendars; when we set up Kontact with the scalixwizard it puts this into the "Configure Kontact > Calendar > Free/Busy > Server URL" fields (for both Publish and Recieve):
###
scalix://User%20Name@xxxx.myscalixdomain.net/freebusy/Calendar/User.Name@emaildomain.com
###
Note what it is doing, scalixwizard replaced the . (dot) in my email address with %20 (and, later, the other punctiation is replaced as well, but Kalendar gets its error before that data is sent) and fixing this alone doesn't resolve the issue. When one then tries to publish or retrieve information, this leads to the error:
###
The software could not upload your free/busy list to the URL 'scalix://UserAuthorization failed, Unable to login. Probably the password is wrong. The server xxxx.myscalixdomain.net replied: LOGIN failure, user name or password rejected authentication not supported0Name@xxxx.myscalixdomain.net/freebusy/Calendar/User.Name%40emaildomain.com'. There might be a problem with the access rights, or you specified an incorrect URL. The system said: %2.
Please check the URL or contact your system administrator.
###
The work around for this is to sigle-quote the Server URL after correcting it, so that it reads:
###
'scalix://User.Name@xxxx.myscalixdomain.net/freebusy/Calendar/User.Name@emaildomain.com'
###
Note that double-quoting the Server URL doesn't work, nor does trying to escape (\) the punctuation issues.
This error may not exist for everyone, as it likely depends somewhat on how one is required to log into the server, etc., but it has been a long time annoyance with only recently the work-around figured out.
