Re: [CalendarServer-users] Do write-shared calendars require OpenDirectory
Hello,
I am playing with DCS for two days and don´t get it...
1. I want to use DCS on an Ubuntu server for 30 Mac-Clients running iCal on Leopard. Works already. 2. I don´t want to setup an OpenDirectory service. It´s lot of overhead I don´t need. 3. I want to allow users to change (write) other users calendars, but not to everyone.
I have the impression it might work if everyone is set to be an admin, but detailed write access without OD is not possible? Is that right? Is DCS the right tool for me? OD is not needed. AFAIK it's only available for MacOSX Server.
Additional question: Where are useful docs? Do they even exist? I found http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/calendarserver/wiki/ , but I am missing informations from ground up, like "What is a group? What can DCS do, and what can´t be done? Which permission can be set where, which tool can be used to view and set ACL, ..."
Let's have look at previous thread on these 2 calendarserver-users ML recent threads : "Client library and admin tool" : tool for setting ACL (that's the way to solve your sharing right problem. And "Setup for small group/family" : Some trying to do similar thing as you. You may need to understand DAV acls to set it up properly. Don't forget to explain your success when you get it ...
Thanks a lot, bye, Jörg

Regarding ACL's I've been trying to use the runshell.py tool that Cyrus provided and still have difficulties even after his repair to this (which I applied to my source since I'm using the 1.3 branch.) I still have problems in that when I add another user to the ACLs of a given calendar that calendar is no longer accessible by anyone, including the original owner. Using runshell.py to remove the changed ACL does not help and I have to delete the calendar and let CS recreate it to get things working again. If there are logs/info I can post or things to try let me know. I've given up for now and simply created one new 'user' in the same groups as those I want to share a calendar, for each shared calendar I want.

The best way to enable sharing between different user accounts is to use the "proxies" option in the admin tool. That avoids having to mess with ACLs at all. Just set things up so anyone who needs access to a user account is made a proxy (either read-only or read-write) of that user. e.g. in the admin tool: ./runshell.py ...
proxies -i -p /principals/users/user01 Proxy > add -r New principal [q - quit]: /principals/users/user02
That will add user02 as a read-only proxy to user01. -- Cyrus Daboo
