[CalendarServer-users] delegation help?

[Emil Lundberg]

Hey Joe,

You've confused the sample accounts file where locations have  
delegates (which is normal), with cyrus's example. You now have users  
and locations with duplicate uid's which is definitely not what you  
intended :-)

Here's what your accounts.xml file should look like (but c.f. the  
previous discussion on the use of the guid field):

<user>
   <uid>userA</uid>
   <guid>userA</guid>
   <password>password</password>
   <name>user A</name>
   <proxies>
     <member type="users">userB</member>
   </proxies>
</user>
<user>
   <uid>userB</uid>
   <guid>userB</guid>
   <password>password</password>
   <name>user B</name>
   <proxies>
     <member type="users">userA</member>
   </proxies>
</user>

Then follow steps 4-6 below. Note that using iCal server (or DCS w/  
OD directory service I presume), iCal let's a user define delgates  
for himself from within iCal, as well as lets the delegate see  
calendars for which he is the delegate.
