Configuring Your Sun ONE Account

The Sun ONE Connector for Evolution allows you to use Evolution as a client for the Sun ONE calendar server.

To configure a Sun ONE account, perform the following steps:

  1. Choose Tools -> Settings. An Evolution Settings dialog is displayed.

  2. Click on Sun One accounts in the left pane. A table for Sun ONE accounts is displayed in the right pane.

  3. Click Add. An Add new account dialog is displayed.

  4. Enter the Sun ONE account information in the Add new account dialog. The following table describes the elements on the Add new account dialog:

    Protocol

    Select one of the following protocols from the drop-down list:

    • http: Select this protocol for normal operation.

    • https: Select this protocol for additional security.

    If you are not sure which protocol to specify, contact your Sun ONE system administrator.
