Switching to 3.2? Features ?
by Fredrik Unger 10 Jul '12

10 Jul '12

Hi, I have been using version 2.4.dfsg-6 packaged by Debian. As CS is now 3.2 I figured I'd bite the bullet and upgrade. An update can not hurt.. :) As I understand one now needs a Postgres database instead of the file system attributes. What Features does 3.2 have ? How well does it run on a Debian system ? Is there any Debian packaging planned ? (Question belongs to the Debian maintainer, but maybe they are listening here as well.. ) Currently I run some calendars the "old" way with groups. (with a patch) How do I set up a group calendar in 3.2. I have LDAP users, and they are "memberof" different groups. User X and Y is member of group A. Currently I have a calendar named A which both user X and Y can use via LDAP group membership authentication. How is a "proper" setup for this in 3.2 ? X and Y have also their "private" calendars, so they have to keep 2 calendars manually in order, but that was OK for the beginning. There are not that many users. I am also interested in CardDAV functionality in the same manner. Private and group address books. Any linux and windows client suggestions ? Well I think that was the first questions, I might come back with more. Also I could try to help write up some of the information to improve documentation of the calendar server. Anything else to think about. Thanks, Fredrik Unger

HTTP 404 problems

Hi! I've set up Calendar Server 3.2 on an Ubuntu Oneiric system (with some trouble, but that's a different story), I managed to connect to our OpenLDAP, and I've configured iCal on OS X 10.7.3 to connect to Calendar Server. So far, so good. However, now and then the following appears in the access log: 10.0.1.68 - - [25/Apr/2012:15:54:07 +0200] "PROPFIND /calendars/__uids__/3d8d8220-3809-5008-aa56-d5250f800f89/ HTTP/1.1" 401 141 "-" "CalendarStore/5.0.2 (1166); iCal/5.0.2 (1571); Mac OS X/10.7.3 (11D50b)" i=0 t=24.5 or=1 10.0.1.68 - rbh [25/Apr/2012:15:54:07 +0200] "PROPFIND /calendars/__uids__/3d8d8220-3809-5008-aa56-d5250f800f89/ HTTP/1.1" 207 32176 "-" "CalendarStore/5.0.2 (1166); iCal/5.0.2 (1571); Mac OS X/10.7.3 (11D50b)" i=0 t=21.9 or=1 cached=1 10.0.1.68 - - [25/Apr/2012:15:55:07 +0200] "PROPFIND /calendars/__uids__/3d8d8220-3809-5008-aa56-d5250f800f89/ HTTP/1.1" 404 258 "-" "CalendarStore/5.0.2 (1166); iCal/5.0.2 (1571); Mac OS X/10.7.3 (11D50b)" i=0 t=12.8 or=1 10.0.1.68 - - [25/Apr/2012:15:55:07 +0200] "PROPFIND /principals/__uids__/3d8d8220-3809-5008-aa56-d5250f800f89/ HTTP/1.1" 404 259 "-" "CalendarStore/5.0.2 (1166); iCal/5.0.2 (1571); Mac OS X/10.7.3 (11D50b)" i=0 t=6.6 or=1 10.0.1.68 - - [25/Apr/2012:15:55:07 +0200] "PROPFIND /principals/__uids__/3d8d8220-3809-5008-aa56-d5250f800f89/ HTTP/1.1" 404 259 "-" "CalendarStore/5.0.2 (1166); iCal/5.0.2 (1571); Mac OS X/10.7.3 (11D50b)" i=0 t=7.1 or=1 10.0.1.68 - - [25/Apr/2012:15:55:07 +0200] "PROPFIND / HTTP/1.1" 207 441 "-" "CalendarStore/5.0.2 (1166); iCal/5.0.2 (1571); Mac OS X/10.7.3 (11D50b)" i=0 t=2.6 or=1 10.0.1.68 - - [25/Apr/2012:15:55:07 +0200] "PROPFIND /principals/ HTTP/1.1" 401 141 "-" "CalendarStore/5.0.2 (1166); iCal/5.0.2 (1571); Mac OS X/10.7.3 (11D50b)" i=0 t=10.8 or=1 10.0.1.68 - rbh [25/Apr/2012:15:55:07 +0200] "PROPFIND /principals/ HTTP/1.1" 207 505 "-" "CalendarStore/5.0.2 (1166); iCal/5.0.2 (1571); Mac OS X/10.7.3 (11D50b)" i=0 t=14.7 or=1 responses=1 The first two lines come from an ordinary, successful refresh while the rest come from a refresh (that sometimes makes iCal hang, saying "iCal - Updating…" in the title of the window for more than 20 minutes) resulting in the following error from iCal: The server responded with an error. The URL https://columba.intomics.com:8443/principals/__uids__/3d8d8220-3809-5008-aa… encountered HTTP error 404. Make sure the URL is correct. Any ideas? I had the same problems when using version 2.4 as packaged with Ubuntu Since all our clients are either MacBook Pros or iPhones, and all our servers run Linux, I'd very much like to get CalendarServer to work on Ubuntu. I've taken notes on what I've done so far, so if I manage to get it to work, I'll post a rough howto on the list.

Redundant directory services
by Rasmus Borup Hansen 25 Apr '12

25 Apr '12

Is it possible somehow to configure more than one LdapDirectoryService for redundancy or supply more than one URI for a single LdapDirectoryService?
