[CalendarServer-dev] twistedcaldav/directory/ldapdirectory.py:1267:getGroups empty argument error

[Morgen Sagen]

That patch is not what you want.  getGroups( ) should not be getting passed a set([None]) to begin with, and it's likely due to a configuration problem.

1) Do you have proxy assignments, i.e. does proxies.sqlite have anything in the GROUPS table?  You should also see the number of proxy assignments logged in the error.log with an "info" level line like:  "There are 0 proxies"
2) Does your caldavd.plist have UseExternalProxies set to true?  (It shouldn't.  Set it to false.  Setting it to true is an advanced config where proxy assignments can be controlled via LDAP.) 
3) [My question from earlier] How does your LDAP schema specify group membership?  How have you adjusted your caldavd.plist to match?  (If you explain the former, I can help with the latter.)
