email exchange

Sandy has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hello all

I am trying to access an exchange server (over the web) via Email::Folder::Exchange

While running the sample code, I run into the following error:

Can't call method "attr" on an undefined value at Email/Folder/Exchange/EWS.pm line 123.

After a little investigation, it comes down to:

my code

 use Email::Folder::Exchange::EWS;
  my $folder = Email::Folder::Exchange::EWS->new('my_server', $user,$p
+ass);
[download]

Looking at the EWS.pm file, line 123 is:

    $self->folder_id( $som->dataof('//FolderId')->attr->{Id} );
[download]

I inspected the $som object, and looked at some of the stuff in the code, and I think I can see where there might be an error, (and it is not with my credentials) but I am hesitant to start debugging all of this, when the point is to have a package that just works.

So, the question is: Is there an easy way to access an exchange server, via the web, with a perl program. What would be the best package?

Sandy

UPDATE:

Making a bit of progress... but can't seem to find the right credentials to log in.

Have established that the server is NOT https://exchange.domain.com/owa

as that is for the web-client not the soap client.

Am able to login (via a browser) to https:://exchange.domain.com/EWS/Services.wsdl with my standard username password, but does not work when I am using this from a perl script.

Still stymied.

You seem to imply that the module produces error in your code shown while calling `Email::Folder::Exchange::EWS->new()`. Is that correct?	[reply] [d/l]

Yes, it is the module that gives the error: After more and more fussing, (copying code from the module into a test file) I did manage to get an answer from the server. User authentication failed. But... I can login to what I think is the soap server for the exchange `exchange.mydomain.com/EWS/Services.wsdl` with my username `username@domain` and password. I tried changing the username in the code to `domain/username` and it still complained about unauthorized . I have been trying all sorts of combinations, and getting nowhere. I get the feeling I might be able to get this to work IF I can figure out the correct authentication. But I am stymied.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
