LDAP Authentication Guidance
by Asai 27 Mar '15

27 Mar '15

Greetings, I been setting up CalendarServer on Ubuntu and have been able to get everything working in general for testing and development, but I really really could use some help in getting the LDAP authentication set up. I have OpenLDAP installed at it's most basic, but I'm trying to figure out how to get this to work. I have added People (ou=people) and Groups ( as well as Resources and Locations ), but I'm having a hard time figuring out what I'm doing wrong. Do I need to create a custom schema? Some of the fields in the caldavd.plist I have changed over, for example, uid to cn, but I'm still not getting authentication to work. So, I must be missing something. I should add, I am an experienced sysadmin and developer, but I don't have much knowledge of LDAP. Any help would be greatly appreciated. --Asai

Instability since 10.9 to 10.10 change: frequenct CalDAVAccountRefreshQueueableOperation errors
by Sean McBride 27 Mar '15

27 Mar '15

Hi all, I had calendar working great on OS 10.9 / Server 3, but ever since "upgrading" to OS 10.10 / Server 4 it periodically goes into a death spiral where clients receive the following: -------------- Access to account “User Name” is not permitted. The server responded: “403” to operation CalDAVAccountRefreshQueueableOperation. -------------- Stopping/Starting the calendar services fixes this for a day or so then I must repeat. Any suggestions on how to debug this? Thanks, -- ____________________________________________________________ Sean McBride, B.

Property to identify that server has processed the event
by Gaurav Jain 19 Mar '15

19 Mar '15

On the client, I am trying to differentiate b/w sent and unsent events. The event which has *organizer as the only attendee* has same propeties as set by the client when drafting that event. Server did not add anything that could tell me that it indeed was successfully processed by server. I was expecting a schedule-status property or event status property....but it was not there. is there a property to identify that server has processed the event? Best Regards,

Calendars drop out of calendar.app in 10.10.2 Yosemite
by Frank Fechner 13 Mar '15

13 Mar '15

Hi, we use an shared calendars setup for all (15-20) users in the office. These "shared calendars" are users with calendars, most of them with multiple calendars eg. # user: cal_projects with calendars Project_1, Project_2 etc. The "real login user" are ro or rw proxies (without any own calendars) set via: # calendarserver_manage_principals --add-write-proxy users:user1,user2 users:cal_projects The setup in calendar.app is pretty straight forward: # username: user1 # password: password # server: server.doman.tld # server path: /principals/users/cal_projects/ # port: 8443 # use ssl: yes by setting the server path to # /principals/users/cal_projects/ which calendar.app rewrites to # /principals/__uids__/UUID-OF-THE-SHARED-CALENDAR-USER/ Within Mavericks (10.9.5) this worked very well, even when upgraded to Yosemite (10.10.2) but on every new installed Mac that came with Yosemite these calendars disappear (all at once mostly) after some restarts none deterministic. After that the server path in the config file of that calendar is: # /principals/__uids__/UUID-OF-THE-REAL-LOGIN-USER/ instead of the expected # /principals/__uids__/UUID-OF-THE-SHARED-CALENDAR-USER/ If this happens the respective calendars folder in ~/Library/calendars on the mac is empty (info.plist still there). Calendar.app does not log any useful info. On the server there are those lines in the log when this happens: "REPORT(DAV:principal-search-property-set) /principals/ HTTP/1.1" 200 1362 "-" "Mac+OS+X/10.10.2 (14C109) CalendarAgent/316" i=1 or=1 t=4.2 "PROPPATCH /calendars/__uids__/UUID-OF-THE-SHARED-CALENDAR-USER/calendar/ HTTP/1.1" 401 141 "-" "Mac+OS+X/10.10.2 (14C109) CalendarAgent/316" i=0 or=2 t=17.3 "REPORT(DAV:sync-collection) /calendars/__uids__/UUID-OF-THE-REAL-LOGIN-USER/notification/ HTTP/1.1" 403 208 "-" "Mac+OS+X/10.10.2 (14C109) CalendarAgent/316" i=0 or=1 t=16.1 err=valid-sync-token "REPORT(DAV:sync-collection) /calendars/__uids__/UUID-OF-THE-REAL-LOGIN-USER/inbox/ HTTP/1.1" 403 208 "-" "Mac+OS+X/10.10.2 (14C109) CalendarAgent/316" i=0 or=1 t=26.8 err=valid-sync-token The caldavserver is the version 5.2+dfsg-1 which comes with ubuntu server 14.04 LTS. PostgreSQL is used as data-backend. Account data is stored in /etc/caldavd/accounts.xml because LDAP didn’t work. "ADDRESSBOOK-DATAVERSION";"2" "CALENDAR-DATAVERSION";"6" "VERSION";“28“ Does have anyone have similar problems or even better - any solution to this? Thanks in advance. Frank

How to delete user principals on calendarserver including all their calendars?
by Frank Fechner 12 Mar '15

12 Mar '15

Hi, deleting the accounts from accounts.xml does not deletes their calendars in the database. The commands calendarserver_purge_principals and calendarserver_purge_events only erases the current, upcoming and old events from the calendars of the principal or events older than x days. So how to remove old users including their own calendars before remove them from accounts.xml Thanks in advance. Frank

Hi, Groups conf has a syntax like this <group> <uid>users</uid> <password>users</password> <name>Users Group</name> <members> <member type="users">test</member> </members> </group> What should be the syntax for groups with no members. I get errors on configuration with empty elements <group> <uid>users</uid> <password>users</password> <name>Users Group</name> <members> </members> </group> or <group> <uid>users</uid> <password>users</password> <name>Users Group</name> </group> or <group> <uid>users</uid> <password>users</password> <name>Users Group</name> <members/> </group>

First request ignored
by Ulrich Fourier 11 Mar '15

11 Mar '15

Hey everybody, I've setup calendarserver 3.2 on my debian wheezy using the filesystem as storage. Every time I add a new appointment to my calendar in iCal and give it a Name, after the next sync with the Server it reverts to the old name ("new Event"). It seems like just the second change will be actually changed on the server. Same Behavior when I change the time. And I also need to delete every appointment two times. I attached the access.log file, there you can clearly see that the server gets a GET request right after deletion and I need to delete the appointment a second time. Hope you can help me out Ulrich Fourier

DTSTAMP generate by server or client
by Gaurav Jain 10 Mar '15

10 Mar '15

Hi, In rfc 6638, this is mentioned 3.2.5 <https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6638#section-3.2.5>. DTSTAMP and SEQUENCE Properties * The server MUST ensure that a "DTSTAMP" iCalendar property is present* and set the value to the UTC time that the scheduling message was generated (as required by iCalendar). The server MUST ensure that for each type of scheduling operation, the "SEQUENCE" iCalendar property value is updated as per iTIP [RFC5546 <https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5546>]. Does that mean DTSTAMP is generated by server? Or does client need to put that it in. Also, what is the difference b/w DTSTAMP and CREATED properties Best Regards,
