Recent samba updates broke mapi

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Indeed. It affects me, with the following logs :

** (evolution:3905): CRITICAL **: categories_icon_theme_hack: assertion 'filename != NULL && *filename != '\0'' failed

(evolution:3905): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_entry_set_text: assertion 'text != NULL' failed

Same output as James Stevenson when launching Evolution with the MAPI plugin. Definitley appears to be a symbol problem on the libmapi.so library.

It also appears that downgrading the library package is not a possible solution via apt-get, as it cannot downgrade other packages as well (Mostly Desktop core components, such as Nautilus)

Same here with evolution and EWS account since upgrade last night. It prompts for pass and allways says "wrong password". Downgrade is complicated and it has security risks.

Anyone tried recompiling the module yet?

I *think* I'm building the proper package currently. Will report back and see if a sub-in works.

Built openchange from their git repo, and subbed in the compiled libmapi.so from that project. Tried launching Evolution, and re-creating the account, which led to this:

I used the source provided from this git repo:
https://github.com/openchange/openchange.git

Same here.

Evolution (3.10.4) MAPI-Support just disappeared after last update of Ubuntu 14.04 LTS-64-Bit.

It's gone... tried to reinstall via apt-get. No difference.

I used it for years to connect to an Exchange 2003 Server.

It's a pity. It just worked... :-(

In aptitude, purging samba, winbind, libnss-winbind and libpam-winbind fixed it for me.

Not in my case.

Purging as you did and reinstallation of evolution-mapi does not make any difference.

MAPI-Support in Evolution still missing.

Not sure if affected by same bug: I'm using evolution-ews, but NTLM auth is broken since samba upgrade.
Also, I can't connect to windows shares like I used to do before samba upgrade.

Same issue here on 15.10

Even after purging and reinstalling all of Evolution and deleting all config files does not seem to bring it back.

Ah, yes, purging helped for me because we use ews instead of mapi. ews support was broken as well.

Marc, have you been able to remove/purge and reinstall samba, winbind, etc...? What version are you running? Can you give us some details?

Solve for me. Remember I'm using evolution-mapi.

Found this bug: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1327072

Applied workaround (rename ntlm_auth or apt-get remove winbind) and it works!

It's not the definitive solution, but at least I can use Evolution like yesterday morning...

Sorry, I mean I'm using evolution-ews.

Same error Here
 evolution

Can anyone please confirm that evolution-mapi will be missing in xenial?

Can anyone please confirm that evolution-mapi is still working (at least selectable as an protocol in evolution) in wily?

As of now, with an updated Wily system, evolution-mapi is not working, and not selectable as a protocol, due to failure to load the module (as seen above in console output).

I'm using Evolution + mapi (with my LinuxMint distrib) in a Microsoft Exchange environment. I think i'm not alone in this case. This bug affects me because I have to use Microsoft products, until the bug will be fixed.

with evolution-ews removing samba correlated package it works well.

same here - Evolution+mapi
Downgrading samba did not help

Indeed, mapi is incompatible with the new samba stack and was removed from Debian/Ubuntu 16.04 (https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=804333) it's a bit unfortunate that for security reason samba has to be updated in trusty as well which made mapi stop working there now :-/

yeah, but evolution-ews it's affected too

Hrm... Well, it'd be nice to at least figure out downgrade instructions. In this case, I'll choose the security hole over the inability for a piece of software to function.

Well, in my case purging samba, evolution-mapi, evolution-ews, winbind, libnss-winbind and libpam-winbind; and then installing evolution-ews worked after setting my account back up.

I did have to swap to basic auth, however.

Same issue here, since last update cannot connect to windows shares anymore and MAPI in evolution is gone. Since I'm an Ubuntu Newby I would appreciate a workaround for both issues.

Hmm, what a pity, for me there is no option to purge samba, libnss-winbind and libpam-winbind to get evolution-ews up and running again.
I badly need both together working.

instead of purging, try downgrading, as suggested in

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/samba/+bug/1572876/comments/12

it worked for me! :)

Oh thank you very much. Downgrade worked for me. Now I finally can access the windows shares again :-)

Downgrade worked for me too.
I used the first fix and I can use Evolution/MAPI again.
Tnx

Downgrading worked for me as well. I also locked the affected samba packages via Synaptic to prevent automatic updates until this issue is fixed.

Thanks for sharing a workaround.

Is there a schedule for releasing the fix? It's now already 2 months ago the last comment was posted. It's still existing in ubuntu 14.04 lts.

I already updated libsoup to fix the ntlm_auth incompatibility.

evolution-mapi will not work with recent samba because openchange is incompatible, and is unlikely to get fixed.

I suggest moving to evolution-ews.

Hi,

the last comment is more than a year ago, ist there a solution for this problem?

I just installed Ubuntu 16.04, evolution and evolution-ews and run into this issue...

Hi,
I'm using:
Ubuntu 18.04
Evolution EWS plugin
Samba/Winbind 4.7.6

Samba is configured as AD domain member of DOMAIN1 via winbind.
Exchange is hosted on DOMAIN2.

Local unix users "testLocal" (user.name@DOMAIN2) get authenticated via EWS-Plugin.

Winbind users "testDomain" won't get authenticated.

The authentication process asks DOMAIN1 for Exchange user information and fails.

After "systemctl restart winbind.service" within the running user session EWS plugin works as expected.

After logout-login cycle winbind.serice has to be restarted again, so that EWS plugin works.

Seems to be related to kerberos authentication...
