Hello, I checked out the latest svn build of CalendarServer, built it on Fedora 11, and most things seem to be working fine. One problem I am experiencing is when I try to access a group calendar. According to the documentation I've found, I should be able to log in using an account of a user that is a member and specify the group calendar in the URL like https://server/principals/groups/groupname. The problem I'm seeing is that an iCal 4.0 client gets an error that reads "The calendar server has not specified a calendar home for account at " and then gives the uuid url for the group I'm trying to access. Any clue as to what I'm doing wrong?

Hi Thomas! See e.g.: http://trac.calendarserver.org/ticket/330 Group calendars have been disabled; one of the main reasons seem to be implications for scheduling. The other that iCal doesn't support it… *sigh* Of course it is quite annoying not to have them - the only workaround I know is to create dummy users for each group and make the group write-proxy for that user. If someone has better ideas, I'd be interested. Regards, Markus Am 21.09.2009 um 22:01 schrieb Thomas Baker:

Hi Thomas!
See e.g.:

Not being an iCal user I'm sure that's probably correct, although I can't see why it would be an issue, surely the caldav client just sees a caldav calendar? Anyway, seems to work OK with sunbird/iceowl without issues.
Of course it is quite annoying not to have them - the only workaround I know is to create dummy users for each group and make the group write-proxy for that user. If someone has better ideas, I'd be interested.
Which is a nasty kludge/hack if you ask me. Especially if you're (going to be) using LDAP as a directory. One of the things I really like about DCS is that it does/did group calendars, and it's certainly one of _the_ major reasons why I was asked to test it out, once it found it's way into Debian at least... I for one don't need all the attendee/scheduling features for group calendars, but I'd like to know that when DCS gets updated in the Debian repositories, and I apt-get upgrade, that all our groups won't suddenly disappear. Cheers. Dameon.
I'm using group calendars successfully with iCal 3 and 4 in Leopard and Snow Leopard using DCS on Debian Lenny. I'm using the process where you enter the url for the group calendar in ical in the form of: http://calendar_server:8008/principals/groups/group_name/ Once the group is setup, group users can add sub-group calendars. Haven't played around with whether group members can then be limited for the sub-group calendars. This works just fine, though it is not considered a clean method based on the comments in the ticket identified in another response ( http://trac.calendarserver.org/ticket/330 ). I've been doing it this way since shortly after Leopard came out without any issues (DCS on linux server, first Suse, now Debian). On Sep 21, 2009, at 1:01 PM, Thomas Baker wrote:
