long password with spaces -> invalid login adding calendar #433

Open always-depends opened 8 years ago

always-depends commented 8 years ago

I saw this issue that was resolved: https://github.com/Ericsson/exchangecalendar/issues/278

My issue is slightly different. I had a 30 character password with spaces. It looks like that the login credentials are sent but the Exchange server returns invalid login (determined by adding logging to Exchange Calendar plugin). However if I log in using Outlook Web Access using the same username/password, it works fine, which should rule out issues with the Exchange server. I changed my password to not contain spaces and much shorter length (11 characters), and this extension logs in correctly and I'm able to successfully add the Exchange Calendar to my Lightning.

Here's the steps to reproduce:

  1. New calendar in Thunderbird
  2. Select network calendar, next
  3. Select Exchange calendar, next
  4. Name calendar, select color, etc, next
  5. Paste URL to known good calendar location
  6. Primary email auto-populates and is correct
  7. Enter username as username only (no @domain.com)
  8. Enter Domain as Windows style domain (all caps)
  9. Leave Shared Folder blank
  10. Click on Check Server and Mailbox
  11. Note multiple attempts to enter username/password and all fail

The same sequence works when I used the shorter password without spaces.

I'm using version 3.5.0 of this addin with Thunderbird 38.6.0 and Lightning 4.0.6 on Mac OS X 10.10 "Yosemite".

Password prompt is used from thunderbird itself.. the same box used for other mail authentication . Please check password restrictions if any in exchange server and also do a quick search on Mozilla Password prompt

I was able to send and receive email using Thunderbird with the 30 character password containing spaces. I think it's an issue with the Exchange Calendar addon.

I used the Exchange Server web interface and was able to login successfully, read email, view calendar, etc, also using 30 character password with spaces. So it is not an issue with the Exchange server either.
