[CalendarServer-users] Internal server error/users not found

[W. Brewster Brownville]

Hi all. Completely new to this list. I only subscribed to plumb the  
depths of your knowledge of iCal - but will be glad to help anyone in  
the future...but first, to MY problem. :-)

What began as simple authentication issues on an iCal server has  
turned into a bit of a meltdown. DNS is working, OD is working.

It began with certain users not authenticating, so I made some changes  
to the authentication method (from Kerb to Digest). That didn't help.  
I made some permissions modifications (per another forum) to the / 
Library/CalendarServer/Documents folder (I made _calendar the owner,  
it was "admin" previously). That didn't help, and I still get errors.  
Now, NONE of the users are authenticating (even new, "test" users)  
and  I'm getting a "HTTP/1.1 500 Internal Server Error" when trying to  
add an iCal account on a client machine. The iCal server logs seem to  
think any given user dont exist as a user, though they are bound to  
the directory and my account exists in WGM and calendaring is enabled.  
Anyone have any ideas?

When I try to access the server via the web URL, I get an error  
message directing me to the logs.

This is the predominant log message:

> 2009-02-08 20:38:54-0500 [-] caldav-8009 exceptions.AssertionError:  
> Parent <DirectoryPrincipalProvisioningResource: /Library/ 
> CalendarServer/Documents/principals> of  
> <DirectoryPrincipalUIDProvisioningResource: /Library/CalendarServer/ 
> Documents/principals/__uids__> does not exist

which appears to stem from some records being disabled, as per the  
following:
