[CalendarServer-users] Available Features using XMLDirectoryService?

[Guy]

well the way I do it (For my family calendar)... is this...

1. create a user to hold the calendar and don't share the passwd..

  <user>
    <uid>shared-calendar-user</uid>
    <guid>98714-12349817234-12341234-12341234</guid>
    <password>secured</password>
    <name>Family Calendars</name>
    <first-name>Family</first-name>
    <last-name></last-name>
    <cuaddr>mailto:family at local.local</cuaddr>
    <proxies>
	   <member type="groups">alluser</member>
	</proxies>
  </user>


2. create the group "alluser"

  <group>
    <uid> alluser </uid>
    <guid>38475234-23452345-23452345-13554</guid>
    <password>doesn't matter</password>
    <name>All people</name>
    <members>
      <member type="users">user1</member>
      <member type="users">user2</member>
    </members>
  </group>
  <group>


Job done..
