I would also suggest that people use SSL (https) rather an clear text when connecting to calendar servers, specially if they are connecting over the Internet. If you do not use SSL it's very trivial to get e username and password. Have a look at my site http://www.rho.cc which has documentation on setting up SSL certs which the iPhone will like. If you don't want to pay for a real one!! ---Guy Sent from my iPad On 10 Jun 2010, at 15:48, JJ <div.nabble@demon.cx> wrote:

I don't know if this is still the case, but http://trac.calendarserver.org/wiki/iPhone states that an iPhone can't connect directly to a CalDAV server, but must rather sync with another instance of iCal on a full OSX install. This seems pretty odd/daft/pointless/full-of-lock-in-badness to me, but may still be the case.

well, that would certainly be pretty odd/daft/pointless/full-of-lock-in-badness if it were true...

(Sadly, even if Apple helps work on an opensource CalDAV server they are accused of lockin ;-)

any iPhone running iPhone OS 3.x supports CalDAV accounts

on the iPhone, just go to home screen - Settings - Mail, Contacts, Calendars - Add Account...

then see the screenshots here:

1) choose Other (bottom option)

2) Add CalDav Account (I know, I know, it's not the logical choice, but trust me...)

3) Very simply enter server, user name/account and password

4) The CalDAV account will look like this

Under Advanced Settings, you will see a complicated server url like: http://<your_server>:8008/principals/users/ical but you won't need to type that in yourself
