Publish calendar from OS X server

We run a OS X server on 10.8.5 with 20+ users on it. We mainly share folders. Our users sign up at the servers LDAP directory and most of them use mobile accounts.
Actually we set up the calendar server function. Each user connects iCal at its Mac and iPhone to our server by CalDAV.
We use the sharing functionality to share our calendars with each other internal.
Now we want to publish some of these calenders to be able to share them with others like subscribing to external calendars. We know how to publish local calendars with the "publish"-function. But how can we do this on server stored calendars connected by CalDAV? Is there any functionality done at the server for publish to our WebDAV-Server?
Any hint is welcome, thanks in advance.

  • Hard drive died, how do I re-establish a published calendar- from .mac?

    I had (have) a published calendar on ical 1.5.5 on a workstation iMac. The hard drive died, but I can still acess the calendar from other workstations. A new hard drive is installed, and now I can subscribe to the calendar but not modify it. How can I regain control and make it a published calendar on my workstation again?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    Subscribe to the calendar, then export it (File > Export). Save the exported copy. Delete the subscribed calendar in iCal. Follow these instructions to un-publish the calendar from your .Mac account. Import the saved version and re-publish it.
    Best wishes

  • Publishing calendars from iPhone

    I'm preparing to throw away the BlackBerry and adopt iPhone for all my professional needs. In order for my team to have sight of my diary, I need to be able to publish my iCal calendars from the phone, probably several times per day. Does anyone have experience of doing this that they can share?

    Don't change your bb. The iPhone lacks of that capability.

  • Publish calendar to WebDav enabled server.

    I am trying to publish a calendar to my hosting companies' server. The server apparently is WebDav enabled. Though when I click the publish button in iCal I get this message:
    "Publish failed for calendar Production"
    "Access to the calendar http://[email protected]/Production.ics is not permitted."
    My hosting company swears the server is WebDav enabled. Also I triple checked the login information.
    Any idea what could be the problem?

    I have a similar situation going on now with Spymac's servers. Are you running Tiger? When I upgraded to Tiger, I started having the same problem. Here's what I have to do to fix it.
    Let's say, for example, I was trying to publish your calendar. Here's what the link would look like:
    http://[email protected]:81/Production.ics
    Notice the ":81". For some reason, Tiger seems to be having problems handling the addresses of calendars not on .Mac, where as Panther wasn't a problem.
    I hope this gives you some ideas.

  • Sharing a Calendar from Mountain Lion server with Snow Leopard users on local network

    Hello.
    I have a new Mac Mini Server running Mountain Lion Server and I want to create a shared calender for a mix of Lion, Mountain Lion and Snow Leopard users on our local network. Does anyone have any info on how to do this? I have tried using the Server App and Calender Help within the applications, but the content isn't available. I have managed to create a Shared Calender  from the Mini's Calendar App where I've  added users and I can see a 'wireless' transmit icon to the right of the Calendar name - but I cant get any of the users' iCal or Calendar apps to recognise the Calendar on the local network. I've also created a Location in the Server App under Calendar and still can't see anything on the local network. Am I missing something really obvious?
    Thanks in advance!

    Sorry, I hadn't explained everything fully. I don't want to open up my VPN to friends and family. I do have the router assigning the NAS a fixed IP, so that when I connect over the VPN I can use the local IP address to connect, as you have mentioned.
    What I would like is for my friends or family to connect to my server over AFP or SMB using the public IP of my network, which my router then forwards onto my server, and display the available sharepoints configured using Mountain Lion server. However, the NAS drive is not an available option this way as it has a separate IP to the server.
    As the NAS alllows guest access, I also don't want to configure the router to forward a specific port to it, as this way it will be open to the internet. I wanted to try and use my server as an authentication point, with profiles set using Mountain Lion server, and limited to file sharing services only.
    Hope this makes sense.

  • How can I read published data from a datasocket server running in a different network?

    Hi all,
    I have been trying to solve this problem but without any success. I want to develop data acquisition Vi to run on a computer on a remote location. I want to use the datasocket technology to acquire and publish this data so that in my office (in a different network), I can read the published data and perform analysis with it. I can successfully use this approach for the two computers in the same network but not when they are in different networks. My real problem is how to specify the URL for the acquisition computer in one network while the analysis Vi runs on a different network.
    I have attached two Vis to illustrate my point (I simply want to be able to read the random numbers generated in the acquisition computer in a different network). The first Vi (RemoteDatasocketWrite.vi) will run on the remote computer with an IP address (192.168.0.110). My office computer on which RemoteDatasocketRead.vi runs has an IP address (192.168.0.11) and I can log in remotely into the remote computer using Remote Desktop Protocol with name (emelvin.001.eairlink.com) from my office computer.
     Is it possible to do what I am trying to do or is there a simpler way to solve this problem?
    I will really appreciate any help towards a solution to this problem.
    Thanks

    Are you getting an error? The way you have it set up, you can have an error and it will never be displayed. Put and error control on your front panel and see what it gives you. Also, shared variables in a project can be useful. Look at some examples for that.

  • How to edit/publish a calendar from multiple computers?

    In our small business we have up to three people doing scheduling using iCal. We would like to use our separate computers to edit/publish calendars. Right now, we can subscribe, but not publish calendars from multiple machines.
    Is there a way to remotely log in to the Mac we publish the calendars on, or can we do this through the web?
    Sorry if this has been covered before . . . thanks!

    The only way I know to "log in" to another computer is through the Apple's sofware: Apple Remote Desktop (a bit overkill if all you want to do is edit a calendar)
    It is not possible to edit another user's calendar, you can only sibscribe.
    Perhaps a 3rd party will have this ability soon (Chronos is coming out with a major upgrade to their Group/Personal Organizer product.
    DayLite by Market Circle is another product which may let you do what you want but it doesn't currently sync with iCal, thus you would lose all the extended functionality of iCal.
    Sorry none of these meet your current needs,
    Do look at CalTalk if you need to share calendars locally without publishing them to the web. (How do you share now?)
    There are also some web based calendar programs (eg BaseCamp) but you have to always be connected to the web and pay a subscrition fee.

  • Instructions for migrating calendars from MobileMe to iCloud

    Where can I find instructions for moving a published calendar from MobileMe to iCloud? I've found a few references but most seem out of date re MobileMe and iCloud.
    Thanks,
    Steve.

    Our club has an event calendar which was "published" to MobileMe in the way that has been current for some years. Club members "subscribed" to a provided URL (defined by Apple during the publishing process) which added the club calendar to their own iCal calendars.
    We may or may not have migrated to iCal (this is currently being established) but as it happens this may not be an issue as the calendar has only a small number of events each month, and all repeat, so that reconstructing the iCal setup will not be difficult even if the data has been lost.
    What is really not clear is how you set up the equivalent of MobileMe's publish/subscribe system when iCal is set up as an iCloud account. The matter of moving an existing calendar has become less important as the picture has clarified somewhat, though there is still confusion due to the fact that many Apple Help documents that we have found lead you on a path that goes back to the obsolete MobileMe instructions.

  • Publishing Calendar Group to .Mac Causes Duplications

    I am running iCal 2.0 in Tiger. I have three calendars under the Calendar group "Published". I then publish the "Published" calendar group to my .Mac account. Every time I refresh the publication (which happens automatically with "auto-refresh") it duplicates every entry. This is repeatable so I can have four, five, etc. instances of the same event published. If I unsubscribe and republish, it starts over again.
    This only affects the published calendars on the .Mac server (ical.mac.com), not any local or .Mac Sync calendars.
    I'd appreciate any help.

    I seem to have this working now, G5 and Powerbook both running the same iCal calendar which is syncronised. Both machines have publish switched on along with auto update.
    One thing I noticed while testing this evening, the names I was originally publishing under were things like "Study Calendar" or "Myweb.net Calendar", when published using these types of names (spaces and punctuation) the .mac website calendar always had a last updated time of 1970.
    When I republished the calendar using a single word name like "Calendar", the published date was correct on the website.
    Once I saw the publish day as being correct, I turned on auto update and proceeded to make changes in iCal on both the PB and the G5. All the changes thus far have been syncronised correctly between the machine AND with the website without duplication.
    I am not sure if this is a long term solution as I've only been testing for 10 minutes or so. Perhaps the duplications will come back after a while but its certainly something to look into if your publishing your calendar with names longer than one word or with punctuation.
    Cheers

  • Publish Exchange calendar from iCal

    I've gotten my Exchange calendar to work with iCal nicely using 10.6. This is great. But:
    Is there a way to publish an Exchange calendar that is in iCal? The "Publish" option is grayed out for my Exchange calendars.
    I can publish other calendars just fine (after forcing iCal to work in 32 bit mode).
    Note that I am not talking about syncing to MobileMe. I know that this is not supported. However, I expected that I could "publish" to a web server, such as the one hosted by MobileMe.
    For a while now, I've done this by using Entourage to sync Exchange to iCal. The Entourage calendar can be published to the web. I was really hoping that with 10.6 I could finally stop using Entourage.

    I'm having a similar issue. My boss has set up a calendar in exchange that is synced with my iCal, and the appointments do appear, however my personal calendar from exchange is not showing any of my appointments... any ideas?

  • How do I publish calendars imported into iCal from a .ics file to iCloud rather than MobileMe?

    Having upgraded my iPhone4 & iPad to iOS5 and my iMac to OSX 10.7.2, I have been having trouble with duplicate calendar entries. Unfortunately, having deleted all but one calendar from the iCloud web interface, I heeded the mistaken advice to disable Calendars in the iCloud preference pane on the iMac and it deleted the calendars that had been removed from iCould from the iMac as well.
    A few false starts later, I was able, after disconnecting all my devices from the net, to restore my iCal calendars with TimeMachine from before the chaos started then exported them as .ics files. After rebooting and re-enabling the network to the iMac, iCloud sync purged the restored calendars from iCal again, so I imported the .ics files into iCal and published them again, but the publish options only include MobileMe or a private server, so I chose MobileMe. iCal now happily shows all my calendars on the iMac again, but the iCloud web Calendar app can't see them.
    How can I get iCloud to see the published iCal calendars again?

    Solved, I think! What you need to do is log on to your icloud account at www.icloud.com, go to the calendar screen, click the gearwheel and choose New Calendar. Create a calendar here (ie up on the iCloud) with the name you want for your imported calendar data. Then switch to iCal - you may have to quit and relaunch for the new iCloud calendar to appear (or it will probably do so automatically if you wait long enough) then import the data using File->Import->Import... When you get to the step where it asks which calendar you want to import the data into, choose the new iCloud calendar you've just created. Job done!
    To be complete in my answer, I don't think you can exactly do what you want to do, at least not at present. There doesn't seem to be any way to publish a calendar to iCloud after the first time you set up iCloud on your Mac when it exports any calendar data that is on the Mac at that time. I suppose that Apple feel that the way I have described works by exporting from one calendar and importing into another, so no need to provide a way of doing it directly.

  • Issue with Outlook 2013-Notifications from published Calendar

    Hi Every body,
    I'm setting up for my little company published calendars on a Webdav servers (i'm using IIS on a 2003 server and Office 2013).
    Publishing calendar works fine so far.
    But i'm facing up a real issue:
    When a user add other's published calendar the first user will also recieve Calendar alerts (appoitement alerts) from the added calendars (others users). Since i have arround 10 Shared calendar it's very frustating for users to be disturbed because of other's
    calendars.
    I've been looking for a way to disable those alerts but i can't find a way. on the Outlook settings. 
    (I also want to keep personal alerts up)
    Please help me i'm becoming very frustaded.
    Best regards 
    Fred

    Well that's not the same calendar in outlook it's a realy different calendar that you get from your webdav server.
    so i remind the whole process just to be clear =)
    10 differents users are publishing their own outlook calendar on the webdav server.
    So there is 10 differents ICS calendar into the server. But remember ICS calendar are copy from the originals calendar they need to be kept up to date.
    Then some users pick the calendars they need from the server and add it into they own outlook.
    in this way it appears as a whole different calendar in outlook.
    When you publish a calendar from outlook,(right clikc onto the calendar => share => publish into webdav server) your have 3 ways to publish it, 3differents options. I can't translate properly since my version is in french. But just to make it short:
    1)
    The first way to publish it is not useful in my case because it doesn't provide enougth information into my ics calendar. about my appoitements.
    2)
    The second option looks good to me because it does'nt provide VALARM option Inside the ICS calendar.
    But  with this option the message inside appoitements are missing.
    3)
    The third option Include everything about the appoitement (and the VALARM). An thats actualy my problem.
    And Yes i'm editing the ICS file that what make me understood how the whole process works.

  • Publish iCal Local Account Calendar on OS X Server

    I'd like to publish my iCal calendar (iCal>Calendar>Publish...>Publish on: A private server) on my OS X Server 10.6.7 ().
    Whenever I attempt to do this using my local account on tthe server, I get the error:
    http://username@domain_name/Home.ics is not a location that supports this request.
    I've tried all the obvious stuff: turning off the firewall, sanity checking the iCal service authentication settings, everything obvious. I believe that this is an authentication issue for local accounts on OS X Server. Because the server is set up as a standalone (i.e., no network accounts, all local accounts), Open Directory is turned off, and there's no Kerberos authentication that I'm aware of.
    Would someone please tell me how how to publish iCal calendars of local accounts on OS X Server?

    According to iCal Server Administration, OS X Server requires an Open Directory account, so you cannot publish your local account's iCal calendar.
    You can, however, use iCal itself and a modification of the OS X Hint "Publish iCal calendars with local WebDAV server" to publish local account calendars.
    0. Server Admin>Web>Sites Turn on the Web with an enabled host name. Make sure that WebDAV is enabled under Server Admin>Web>Sites>Options. Enable SSL with your server's certificate under Server Admin>Web>Sites>Security to ensure that your personal calendar information is SSL encrypted over the web.
    1. Append this directive to the end of the file /private/etc/apache2/httpd.conf:
    Include /private/etc/apache2/other/*.conf
    and make sure that there's no conf file in ./other that you may not wish to load, such as httpd-userdir.conf. Move these to *.conf.original or some such if necessary.
    2. Create the file /private/etc/apache2/other/httpd-webdav.conf with the contents:
    # WebDAV configureation for Publishing local account iCal calendars
    #  Based in part on Mac OS X Hint "iPublish iCal calendars with local WebDAV server Apps"
    # http://hints.macworld.com/article.php?story=20020912065811863
    # copied from /etc/apache2/sites/0000_any_443_myserver.conf
    # which is automatically generated by Server Admin>Web
    # No need to replicate these directives here, so comment out
    #<IfModule mod_dav.c>
    #       DAVLockDB "/var/run/davlocks/.davlock100"
    #       DAVMinTimeout 600
    #</IfModule>
    <IfModule mod_dav.c>
      <Directory "/Library/WebServer/Documents/webdav">
        DAV On
        AuthType Digest
        AuthName 'WebDAV'
        AuthDigestFile /private/etc/apache2/httpd/.htdigest
        AuthGroupFile /dev/null
    #    <LimitExcept GET HEAD OPTIONS>
          require valid-user
    #    </LimitExcept>
      </Directory>
    </IfModule>
    3. Create the apache htdigest authentication file:
    $ mkdir /private/etc/apache2/httpd
    $ chmod 0755 /private/etc/apache2/httpd
    $ touch /private/etc/apache2/httpd/.htdigest
    $ chmod 0644 /private/etc/apache2/httpd/.htdigest
    $ htdigest /private/etc/apache2/httpd/.htdigest WebDAV username
    Adding password for username in realm WebDAV.
    New password: md5 hashed password
    Re-type new password: md5 hashed password
    4. Create the WebDAV directory:
    $ mkdir /Library/WebServer/Documents/webdav
    $ chown www:www /Library/WebServer/Documents/webdav
    $ chmod 0755 /Library/WebServer/Documents/webdav
    $ mkdir /Library/WebServer/Documents/webdav/iCal
    $ chown www:www /Library/WebServer/Documents/webdav/iCal
    $ chmod 0755 /Library/WebServer/Documents/webdav/iCal
    and sanity check that the OS X Server davlocks directory /var/run/davlocks exists [it should!] and has www:www ownership with permissions 755 [it should!].
    5. Sanity check your apache config files:
    $ apachectl -t
    should yield "Syntax OK". Then Server Admin>Web>Stop and Start to restart your web server with the new configuration.
    5. Under your local account on OS X Server, iCal>Calendar>Publish... Publish on a private server with the URL:
    https://osxserver/webdav/iCal
    using OS X Server's local account username/password. Success will be reported with a URL of your calendar on the server.
    6. Under another client account from which you wish to subscript to your OS X Server local account's Calender, iCal>Calender>Subscribe... Enter the URL on OS X Server. You will be prompted for the htdigest name/password pair you created above -- enter this, not the username/password of your local account on OS X Server. Even though you should be protecting this channel with SSL and md5, don't reuse your username/password to access the WebDAV directory you created. You will now be subscribed to your local account's iCal Calendar residing on OS X Server.

  • Failed to commit objects to server. Error while publishing reports from BW

  • Remove "time" from Month view on Published Calendar

    I am trying to remove the time from published calendars when in the "Month" view. The time is not showing on ical on the computer... but shows up on the published calendar. This is taking up tooooo much room on the calendar.
    Thank you for any assistance.

    Hi HWTheoB,
    In my opinion, you could add a content editor web part to your listview page, then in the "source editor" property of your CEWP you can type <style>.ms-cal-monthitem
    B {display:none}</style>.
    In addition, for the similar issue, you can refer to the following threads, although it is for SharePoint 2007, but you can get some hints from these articles:
