[CalendarServer-users] No event locations/delegation...

[James Hill]

Hi!

First of all, Calendar Server rocks!  I have it installed on Debian  
(using XML for the directory service) connected to several Mac  
clients.  However, there are a few issues I'm hoping someone could  
shed some light on before I dig through the code...

For now I'm using the default access.xml file with the following  
addition:
<user>
     <uid>test2</uid>
     <password>test2</password>
     <name>Test User 2</name>
     <cuaddr>mailto:testuser2 at example.com</cuaddr>
</user>

test2 is then added as a proxy to the mercury conference room and the  
users group.  I have created accounts in iCal for both test and test2  
(and they are able to add each other to events, accept/decline, etc...  
which is awesome!).


Here are the issues I'm having:

1)  The mercury conference room shows up fine when browsing via  
Safari, but iCal can't seem to find it when I try to add "Location" to  
an event.  As per the defaults, in accounts.xml the <auto-schedule/>  
entry appears for mercury.

2)  In iCal > Accounts > Delegation (for both test and test2), it is  
impossible to grant anyone access to the current account.  Whenever I  
try to add a user (e.g. test, test2, testuser at example.com, etc...) it  
says that the user was not found.  Interestingly, in the Calendar  
Server logfile there is no activity - it's as though it is not even  
trying to look up that principle.

3)  Related to point 2, there seems to be an autocomplete feature  
throughout the system, but it never returns anything.  I can add  
attendees to events by typing their email address correctly, but it  
never makes any suggestions...

I'm assuming that some/all of these problems are related to using XML  
instead of OpenDirectory?  If so, perhaps my company could donate some  
time to fixing them... but it would be nice to get more information  
about what's broken.

Thanks!
