Now that I know I can probably do this with accounts.xml, looks like I should look at groups and proxies. Josh On Fri, Jun 20, 2008 at 01:33:32PM -0600, Josh Gentry wrote:

I have CalendarServer running on Debian Unstable. Using the XML File Directory Service I can create a user and publish a calendar from Sunbird. The next step is to share the calendar. Here I run into a problem. I have read that for shared calendars to work I'll have to use Open Directory Service. I do not have an OS X server.
Do I really need to use Open Directory Service for shared calenders? If so, does anyone have Open Directory Service running no Linux?
You don't need OD to share calendars. The only time OD is required is if you want to use the delegates (sharing) feature in the iCal client.
That said, what you do have to do is manually setup delegates/sharing support. Some of that you can do via the XML file, but it really depends on exactly how you want to do this. Cn you describe what it is you want to achieve?
That would be useful, wouldn't it :-( Here we run up against all kinds of ignorance on my part. I have not been a user of this kind of application myself, which hinders my understanding of what people want from it. I know we have lots of clients who would like an alternative to Exchange for "shared calendaring" or "group calendars," but I don't have a fine grained understanding of all the features they want.
Lets start with what seems basic. A calendar that multiple users can see and some can edit, though maybe not all are allowed to edit.
Thanks for the response. I appreciate the help. This software could fill a gaping hole in the services we provide.
Thanks again,
