Authenfication fails after updating to TB 38.2.0 and EWS Provider 3.4.0~7

[monecke]

Hi,

i update my Thunderbird to 38.2.0 and EWS Provider 3.4.0~7 on my Linux Machine. No i can't access my worklng exchange calendars anymore. EWS always asking me for a new password. Any hints?

I tried to clear the password manager. But this has no effect.

Same issue here. The password prompt keeps popping up. Tried downgrading to v3.3.1, the version I was using before, but the problem still occurs. Maybe something changed in Thunderbird 38.2.0?

I have a similar problem. In my case, the error is:

Fecha y hora: 02/09/15 12:31:39 Error: no se encuentra elemento Archivo de origen: https://juanjose%2Emartinrodriguez%40mydomain%2Ecom@outlook.office365.com/EWS/Exchange.asmx Línea: 1

Is it the same issue? Creating a new calendar is imposible too.

I also have this problem. After Thunderbird upgraded to 38.2.0 I had to upgrade Lightning to 4.0.2 but Exchange EWS Provider 3.3.2 was not working. I then manually installed Exchange EWS Provider 3.4.0~beta7 from this github page. Now I get the reappearing PW prompt even if I enter the correct password.

same here: after upgrade (Thunderbird 38.2.0, Lightning 4.0.2) authentication fails (recurring PW prompt). Had to disable version 3.4.0~beta7.

I can provide logs or something if you tell me how.

same problem here: after upgrade (Thunderbird 38.2.0, Lightning 4.0.2), first the authentication fails (recurring PW prompt), then at one point it stopped, but now the calender has no entry, but there are still entries, when I am looking at the Outlook Web App (OWA). Creating a new calender is also impossible, I then get the error, which is described in Issue #325.

Setting the config value network.auth.force-generic-ntlm-v1 = true recommended by @bavincen in #324 fix it for me. Thanks.
