FreeBSD port of CalendarServer 5.1 finished
by Axel Rau 23 Oct '14

23 Oct '14

I just finished a FreeBSD port of CalendarServer 5.1. It is currently waiting for commit to get included in the ports tree: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=186201 I tested it on FreeBSD 9.2 and did a successful upgrade of the database schema from CalendarServer 4.3 to 5.1. Please test: https://github.com/mc3/fbsd_local_ports Any feedback welcome, Axel --- PGP-Key:29E99DD6 ☀ +49 151 2300 9283 ☀ computing @ chaos claudius

Resources and Locations
by Miguel Santos N. 28 Feb '14

28 Feb '14

Hello guys: We are giving a try to the calendar server, using an old but stable release that comes from the Ubuntu repository, but I believe that is irrelevant for the question I would like to ask. I more or less understand the role of locations and resources, however I would like to know if it is expected that when a new event is created using a location, the freebusy URL for the location should be populated automatically or not? If you want a little bit more of information here it is. root@cal01:~# calendarserver_manage_principals --list-principals locations Full name Record name UUID --------- ----------- ---- Meeting Room mr1 fc619986-eb9c-4dcb-afeb-eada3c2b1296 root@cal01:~# calendarserver_manage_principals --get-auto-schedule fc619986-eb9c-4dcb-afeb-eada3c2b1296 Autoschedule for "Meeting Room 1" (locations:mr1) is true Main loop terminated. On a related note, does anyone has a practical example on how to use resources on a calendar? Thanks in advance. -- Miguel Santos N. Blix Solutions AS t: 21555665 e:miguel.santos@blix.com

noob alert
by Atli Thorbjornsson 24 Feb '14

Hi all, I'm trying to integrate calendar server into a project I'm working on. My previous CalDAV experience is non-existant. I'm trying to understand the best way to set calendar-proxy-read/write permissions. I'm currently just testing with the xmlfile.py directory but ultimately I will have to create my own directory service. >From the client browser I can see that the proxies are stored under eg. /principals/users/user09/calendar-proxy-write If I am user09 can I dynamically add other users to these resources via http or do these proxies have to be set up beforehand via the directory service? Can I add groups to these proxies instead of users? So an "admin-group" belongs to calendar-proxy-write instead of constantly making sure all admins are in there? Thank you, Atli

Configuring SSL with CA certs

Hello to the list, Running CalendarServer 4.2 on Snow Leopard, using the supplied SSL certificates that’s self-signed and expired. I tried to change to a CA certificate with information in plist about SSLCertificate, SSLAuthorityChain and SSLPrivateKey. The exact same files work a charm in Apache, but when trying in CalendarServer, I get an SSL handshake error : ----- openssl s_client -connect mycalserver:8443 CONNECTED(00000003) 45947:error:140790E5:SSL routines:SSL23_WRITE:ssl handshake failure:/SourceCache/OpenSSL098/OpenSSL098-50/src/ssl/s23_lib.c:182: ----- openssl s_client -connect mycalserver:8443 -servername realnameofcalserver CONNECTED(00000003) 45960:error:14077410:SSL routines:SSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO:sslv3 alert handshake failure:/SourceCache/OpenSSL098/OpenSSL098-50/src/ssl/s23_clnt.c:602: ----- I don’t know the problem here… This certificate was issued with a CSR made from the default OpenSSL on Snow Leopard (0.98r) Thanks whoever who could help Pascal

Backing up Calendar Server Data in OS X Server 10.9.1 (server app v3.0.2)
by Paul E Roche 07 Feb '14

Hello all. I was trying to make a tar file backup of Calendar server data to test a backup/restore procedure for calendar server - I tried to follow the instructions I found in the post quoted below for how to properly backup a caldav server for migration to new hardware - but the calendarserver_backup command is failing for me under Mac OS X 10.9.1 server. (server.app 3.0.2) I do see 5432 via netstat- can you help me troubleshoot what to try next, or how to change the backup command so it completes successfully? Thanks in advance.

However, calendar server does have a script to do what you need. On the source system, run this in Terminal: sudo /Applications/Server.app/Contents/ServerRoot/usr/sbin/calendarserver_backup backup /tmp/caldata.tgz Next, copy /tmp/caldata.tgz from the source system to /tmp/caldata.tgz on the destination system. Finally, on the destination system, run this in Terminal: sudo /Applications/Server.app/Contents/ServerRoot/usr/sbin/calendarserver_backup restore /tmp/caldata.tgz The caldata.tgz file will contain your calendar and contacts data, including attachments, locations, and resources. However, users and groups live in OpenDirectory and will not be copied over. If your users and groups need to be copied over, then your best bet is to use Migration Assistant to copy everything.

I've had a little more time to investigate: It seems that in 10.9 server it expects to find the socket info for Calendar Server here: /Library/Server/PostgreSQL For Server Services/Socket But if you look at /var/run/caldavd - you can find the real path to the socket under a dir called ccs_postgres_* or you can grep for it to find it: bash-3.2# netstat -a | grep caldavd | more bb1d67b768bce67 stream 0 0 0 bb1d67b7593b30f 0 0 /var/run/caldavd/ccs_postgres_3d403b3009fe0c830944d87bd751fbe9/.s.PGSQL.5432 If you create a symlink to that directory under /var/run/caldavd/ at /Library/Server/PostgreSQL For Server Services/Socket then the backup command appears to work. example of making the symlink: cd /Library/Server/"PostgreSQL For Server Services" mv Socket not_socket ln -s /var/run/caldavd/ccs_postgres_3d403b3009fe0c830944d87bd751fbe9 Socket then run the backup command: bash-3.2# /Applications/Server.app/Contents/ServerRoot/usr/sbin/calendarserver_backup backup /tmp/caldata.tgz bash-3.2# cd /tmp bash-3.2# du -sh * 112M caldata.tgz Not sure what files would have to be adjusted in OS X server so that you don't have to create that symlink for the command to work. I also don't know if this will adversely affect the server in some other ways - I am still just experimenting right now - but so far it still seems to be running OK - I have stopped and started the server since adding the symlink and my test clients can still connect and edit events. Look forward to hearing from anyone else runnng on 10.9.

configuring group calendars
by Sebastian Zietz 06 Feb '14

06 Feb '14

Hello all, I have the CalendarServer-5.1 running under FreeBSD 10. I don't get the point of using group principals. I can share all user calendars via read/write proxies to another user without being in one group and since group calendars aren't supported anymore I don't see what else to do with groups. I also can’t share a single calendar with a group. What I want to do: We have two companies working together. The users own a private calendar and should see the Company calendars follows: Members of company_A have R/W access to company_A calendars and R access to company_B calendars. Members of company_B have R/W access to company_b calendars and R access to company_A calendars accept of a single calendar. This calendar should be invisible to company_b members. I think group calendars as in Ticket http://trac.calendarserver.org/ticket/330 would do the thing. Is there anything similar witch i can use? I am thankful for every hint.

I’m now seeing exactly the same error with CalendarServer-5.0 (and also 5.1) on OS X 10.9.1. I first tried to build the server on my new MBP running 10.9.1 after upgrading from my old MBP running 10.8.5 (where I could build and run CalendarServer-5.0 just fine). I get the same error while linking plpython2.so: gcc -O2 -Wall -Wmissing-prototypes -Wpointer-arith -Wdeclaration-after-statement -Wendif-labels -Wformat-security -fno-strict-aliasing -fwrapv -bundle -multiply_defined suppress -o plpython2.so plpython.o -L../../../src/port -L/Users/Admin/Applications/CalendarServer/postgresql-9.1.2/_root/lib -Wl,-dead_strip_dylibs -framework Python -bundle_loader ../../../src/backend/postgres ld: warning: directory not found for option '-L/Users/Admin/Applications/CalendarServer/postgresql-9.1.2/_root/lib' ld: framework not found Python clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation) make[3]: *** [plpython2.so] Error 1 make[2]: *** [all-plpython-recurse] Error 2 On the old machine running 10.8.5 I can still build everything just fine. Then I went on to wipe the drive of my new MBP and did a clean install of 10.9.1 _without_ upgrading the old system. Still the same error. Note that I didn’t mess with the installation in any way before building. Strange thing is Python framework is there /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/… and permissions seem fine. I compared paths, versions, environment of the old and new machine but didn’t notice significant differences. Then I used option -v as suggested by the error message and got: on 10.8.5: bash-3.2$ gcc -O2 -Wall -Wmissing-prototypes -Wpointer-arith -Wdeclaration-after-statement -Wendif-labels -Wformat-security -fno-strict-aliasing -fwrapv -bundle -multiply_defined suppress -o plpython2.so plpython.o -L../../../src/port -L/Users/Admin/Applications/CalendarServer/postgresql-9.1.2/_root/lib -Wl,-dead_strip_dylibs -framework Python -v -bundle_loader ../../../src/backend/postgres Apple LLVM version 5.0 (clang-500.2.79) (based on LLVM 3.3svn) Target: x86_64-apple-darwin12.5.0 Thread model: posix "/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin/ld" -demangle -dynamic -arch x86_64 -bundle -bundle_loader ../../../src/backend/postgres -macosx_version_min 10.8.0 -multiply_defined suppress -o plpython2.so -L../../../src/port -L/Users/Admin/Applications/CalendarServer/postgresql-9.1.2/_root/lib plpython.o -dead_strip_dylibs -framework Python -lSystem /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin/../lib/clang/5.0/lib/darwin/libclang_rt.osx.a on 10.9.1: bash-3.2$ gcc -O2 -Wall -Wmissing-prototypes -Wpointer-arith -Wdeclaration-after-statement -Wendif-labels -Wformat-security -fno-strict-aliasing -fwrapv -bundle -multiply_defined suppress -o plpython2.so plpython.o -L../../../src/port -L/Users/Admin/Applications/CalendarServer/postgresql-9.1.2/_root/lib -Wl,-dead_strip_dylibs -framework Python -v -bundle_loader ../../../src/backend/postgres Apple LLVM version 5.0 (clang-500.2.79) (based on LLVM 3.3svn) Target: x86_64-apple-darwin13.0.0 Thread model: posix "/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin/ld" -demangle -dynamic -arch x86_64 -bundle -bundle_loader ../../../src/backend/postgres -macosx_version_min 10.9.0 -multiply_defined suppress -syslibroot /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.9.sdk -o plpython2.so -L../../../src/port -L/Users/Admin/Applications/CalendarServer/postgresql-9.1.2/_root/lib plpython.o -dead_strip_dylibs -framework Python -lSystem /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin/../lib/clang/5.0/lib/darwin/libclang_rt.osx.a ld: warning: directory not found for option '-L/Users/Admin/Applications/CalendarServer/postgresql-9.1.2/_root/lib' ld: framework not found Python clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation) Difference is the “-syslibroot /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.9.sdk” option and linking without this option actually generates plpython2.so without error, but I have no idea why the error occurs in the first place and whether the resulting library is ok or not. Would appreciate any help to solve this problem. Thanks, Bernhard
