[CalendarServer-users] Fwd: [CalendarServer-dev] HTTPS-Problem

Hi Cyrille,
https in my browser works, https in leightning (debian calendar) works  
as well. Kerberos authentication works as well (on browser and  
leightning with https and http) I can connect with iCal but only when  
I'm sending my Kerberos -Ticket unencrypted without https over http.  
When trying to connect through https I get there Error message I  
mentioned:

>>>>> "The account information could not be found - Unexpected error  
>>>>> at the
>>>>> secure name resoltion (Error -9813). The servername <name> is  
>>>>> maybe
>>>>> incorrect "

I my case the SSL-Cert and the private-key are stored in two different  
files (with different priviliges but belonging by root). This is the  
first time I heard of SSL Certs and Privatekey that are stored in one  
file. From my point of view they are useless then ;-) But I have not  
found information about that tool you mentioned.

All Calendarclient programs except iCal ask if they my trust my  
certificates. I believe if I could tell iCal to trust them everything  
would be ok

Do you use iCal as a client with https connection?

Thanks a lot Georg
