I asked about this once before and never got a response, so I'm just wondering if there's been any progress in the area of calendar ACLs.
I'm trying to set up a calendar server with group calendars to which most people will have read only access, and a few key people will have write access as well. Is there currently a way to set up a permission scheme like this? From my research, I read that ACL support is implemented in the server, but that no clients exist to take advantage of this. Is this still the case? If so, is there a way to manually change ACLs from the server?
WebDAV ACL is fully supported on the server. We currently have no tools of our own to allow manipulation of the ACLs either through WebDAV or directly via the local properties database. There are few, if any, clients that supprot ACL management directly. Mulberry (<http://www.mulberrymail.com>) is one of those. Alternatively if you know enought about the protocol, you can manually execute the WebDAV ACL method against the server to set ACLs. It should be possible to handcraft the ACL request headers and body and then send those via telnet to the server to set ACLs. Obviously we would like to have a better way to manage ACLs than this. The best option is something that uses the WebDAV ACL method to manipulate the ACLs rather than trying to change data in the server's repository directly. It ought to be possible to put together a basic script to do that. -- Cyrus Daboo
