Good news, it looks like the Apple Address Book Server in Snow Leopard Server will be open sourced as "Darwin CardDAV Server". See the bottom of http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/AddressBkServer_v10.6.pdf Pim

Group Calendars
by Thomas Baker 28 Sep '09

28 Sep '09

Hello, I checked out the latest svn build of CalendarServer, built it on Fedora 11, and most things seem to be working fine. One problem I am experiencing is when I try to access a group calendar. According to the documentation I've found, I should be able to log in using an account of a user that is a member and specify the group calendar in the URL like https://server/principals/groups/groupname. The problem I'm seeing is that an iCal 4.0 client gets an error that reads "The calendar server has not specified a calendar home for account at " and then gives the uuid url for the group I'm trying to access. Any clue as to what I'm doing wrong?

configuration of openconnector
by Asher 23 Sep '09

23 Sep '09

So i have had a look @ the entire darwin isntall of calendarserver and really like it, did not take long to configure and start using with my mac's and ical HOWEVER trying to get anything working with outlook has not been quite so simple, the site says to use openconnector.org's product which i downloaded from http://sourceforge.net/projects/otlkcon/ configuration i had a look at their video on the configuration and i guess i dont really *get it* i get these elements... username password but there are two options home address principle address can some treat me like a two year old for a few moments and explain these differences for me so i know how to configure the mapi for use with the same server... in ical i set http://192.168.1.250:8008/ as the server address and ical automagically worked out that it should be http://192.168.1.250:8008/principals/users/test/ so i thought maybe that is the *home* and *principlas* address's for the connector... but it hasnt worked out that way.... anyone had any luck and able to point me in the right direction please i click on the save then browse... to choose the calendars... but nothing..... ideas? :-) many thanks ash

Since it's somewhat related to this project, does anyone know when the CardDAV project is going to be added to MacOSForge?

Kerberos import error with CalDAVClientLibrary
by Corey Scobie 16 Sep '09

16 Sep '09

Ugggh. I just rebuilt my Calendar Server install on my PPC Mac Mini, including some updates to Python, etc. Unfortunately my database is back to square one, and so I have to reset some ACLs. I am getting the following error and I can't for the life of me figure out what is missing. I know this is probably less a CalendarServer question and more something specific to my environment but any insight would be greatly appreciated! ./runshell.py Traceback (most recent call last): File "./runshell.py", line 31, in <module> from src.browser import shell File "/Library/CalDAVClientLibrary/src/browser/shell.py", line 19, in <module> from client.account import CalDAVAccount File "/Library/CalDAVClientLibrary/src/client/account.py", line 17, in <module> from client.clientsession import CalDAVSession File "/Library/CalDAVClientLibrary/src/client/clientsession.py", line 28, in <module> from protocol.http.authentication.gssapi import Kerberos File "/Library/CalDAVClientLibrary/src/protocol/http/authentication/ gssapi.py", line 28, in <module> import kerberos ImportError: No module named kerberos Regards, Corey corey(a)scobie.com

Hi, I am new to CalendarServer and this list, so please bear with me, if it is all to obvious. The CalendarServer runs fine on my (old) iMac, but I can not publish a calendar of mine to it. What is missing ? Wolfgang

The calendar XXX is momentarily not available.
by Dan Mahoney, System Admin 11 Sep '09

11 Sep '09

Hello All, I've managed to "inherit" a calendarserver running under Debian, which claims to be at version 1.2.dfsg-8 according to dpkg. I'm having several problems. Recently several of my users (who run thunderbird with lightning) are seeing the above message (in the subject) in their clients. Some are using Kerberos, some not. Thunderbird is less than helpful in logging this, there's no log of what the error is, and in fact the same error would probably be displayed with a network outage or a calenderserver problem. Since I'm using SSL, tcpdumping is not more helpful. The error.log seems to be a whole lot of useless information, most of which looks like this: OPTIONS /principals/locations/ HTTP/1.1 OPTIONS /principals/locations/ HTTP/1.1 PROPFIND /principals/locations/ HTTP/1.1 PROPFIND /principals/locations/ HTTP/1.1 REPORT /principals/ HTTP/1.1 REPORT /principals/ HTTP/1.1 REQUEST 1: If possible, I'd like to turn the above off, and make it so the error log only shows actual errors instead of every problem. REQUEST 2: How do I chase down the error in the subject line? I'm also seeing some of this: 'No principal found for directory record: None' 'No principal found for directory record: None' 'No principal found for directory record: None' 'No principal found for directory record: None' 'No principal found for directory record: None' 'No principal found for directory record: None' 'No principal found for directory record: None' 'No principal found for directory record: None' 'No principal found for directory record: None' 'No principal found for directory record: None' 'No principal found for directory record: None' 'No principal found for directory record: None' And in my previous error logs, some of this: error.log.29:2009-09-09 11:29:44-0700 [-] [caldav-8443] [-] 401 response while getting property: ('DAV:', 'current-user-privilege-set') error.log.29:2009-09-09 11:29:44-0700 [-] [caldav-8443] [-] "Error reading property ('DAV:', 'current-user-privilege-set') for resource /calendars/__uids__/c693cce5-6cf6-50cf-9e52-420697079769/calendar/: <StatusResponse 401 Access denied while reading property {DAV:}current-user-privilege-set.>" error.log.29:2009-09-09 11:29:44-0700 [-] [caldav-8443] [-] 401 response while getting property: ('DAV:', 'current-user-privilege-set') error.log.29:2009-09-09 11:29:45-0700 [-] [caldav-8443] [-] "Error reading property ('DAV:', 'current-user-privilege-set') for resource /calendars/__uids__/c693cce5-6cf6-50cf-9e52-420697079769/dropbox/: <StatusResponse 401 Access denied while reading property {DAV:}current-user-privilege-set.>" error.log.29:2009-09-09 11:29:45-0700 [-] [caldav-8443] [-] 401 response while getting property: ('DAV:', 'current-user-privilege-set') error.log.29:2009-09-09 11:29:45-0700 [-] [caldav-8443] [-] "Error reading property ('DAV:', 'current-user-privilege-set') for resource /calendars/__uids__/c693cce5-6cf6-50cf-9e52-420697079769/notifications/: <StatusResponse 401 Access denied while reading property {DAV:}current-user-privilege-set.>" (note there's no IP address there). Finally, running the following command reveals an ALARMING number of things that should in my mind either be populated or should not be there, including: root@cal:/var/spool# find /var/spool/caldavd -type d -empty -print | grep -v uids /var/spool/caldavd/principals/users /var/spool/caldavd/principals/groups /var/spool/caldavd/principals/sudoers /var/spool/caldavd/principals/locations /var/spool/caldavd/principals/resources /var/spool/caldavd/calendars/users /var/spool/caldavd/calendars/groups /var/spool/caldavd/calendars/locations /var/spool/caldavd/calendars/resources (and a couple dozen empty "uids" folders as well). Is this normal? -Dan Mahoney -- --------Dan Mahoney-------- Techie, Sysadmin, WebGeek Gushi on efnet/undernet IRC ICQ: 13735144 AIM: LarpGM Site: http://www.gushi.org ---------------------------
