[CalendarServer-users] Do write-shared calendars require OpenDirectory

[Scott Buchanan]

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.



Regards,
