e2k_autoconfig_check_exchange

This function tries to connect to the the Exchange server using the OWA URL, username, and password in E2kAutoconfig. calls e2k_autoconfig_get_context() to check URI and the credentials are correct. If this fails because of one of error codes,

 incorrect authenteication preferences (NTLM/BASIC)
 Server requires redirection
 Server requires SSL
 Or OWA URL has not path appended (example: missing "/exchange")

it tires to internally handle these errors and re-attempts the connection.

Attempts to determine the public folder URI, domain name and home_uri, and then given the home_uri, looks up the user's mailbox entryid (used to find his Exchange 5.5 DN) and default timezone.

e2k_autoconfig_check_global_catalog

Read the GC object using e2k_autoconfig_get_global_catalog(). Tries to connect to the global catalog associated with E2kAutoconfig using e2k_global_catalog_lookup(). (trying to figure it out from the domain name if the server name is not yet known). On success it will look up the user's full name and email address (based on his Exchange DN).
