Hi,

The path component in /calendars/users/____ is the UID value from the user record, which typically looks like a shortname.

You can also use /principals/__uids__/____, where the missing component is the GUID. In cases where GUID is not specified in the record, the UID value appears to be usable instead.

To see this all in action, use a web browser to load up /principals/users/foo (where ‘foo’ is a valid user UID). Note the Principal URL, Alternate URIs, and Calendar Homes.

Thank you very much for clarifications.

I have one more question, for GET requests what is the identifier for the user

is it UID, GUID, short-name or emailAdress??

I mean in following URL

/calendars/users/_____$________/calendar.......what is the value of $ in DCS 6.0???

Hi,

This is OK:

<record type="user">
    <uid>dre</uid>
    <guid>10000042-0000-0000-0000-000000000001</guid>
    <short-name>dre</short-name>
    <password>dre</password>
    <full-name>Andre LaBranche</full-name>
    <email>dre@apple.com</email>
</record>

e.g.

andre@xomg [~/cs] % ./bin/calendarserver_manage_principals --search dre
1 matches found:

Andre LaBranche (user)
   UID: dre
   Record name: dre
   Email: dre@apple.com


However, this is not OK:

<record type="user">
    <uid>dre</uid>
    <guid>dre</guid>
    <short-name>dre</short-name>
    <password>dre</password>
    <full-name>Andre LaBranche</full-name>
    <email>dre@apple.com</email>
</record>

Startup fails:
2015-03-18 13:32:47-0700 [-] [txdav.base.datastore.subpostgres#critical] Can't start or connect to postgres: badly formed hexadecimal UUID string

To summarize, UID can be a short string or an actual UUID, however GUID must be a UUID if it is present. It doesn’t seem to be an error to omit GUID.

This was a valid XML in CalendarServer-5.2.2. It used to be 'user' now its 'record'

            raise ValueError('badly formed hexadecimal UUID string')
        exceptions.ValueError: badly formed hexadecimal UUID string



Could you please tell me if I could use the above xml with 6.0??
