Shared calendars using MS Outlook in Portal

Hello
We're currently looking at integrating our users' calendars into the portal by using a plugin such as DAVXchg or Collab Data Objects.
We're currently designing some applications that require a shared calendar - e.g. for a particular team.
My question is: if we implement a shared mailbox for the team (which all users can access using their own username and pword), can this be accessed through the portal using one the outlook plugins? Will SSO be possible?
Thanks,
Chris

Hi,
I believe this mainly depends on the configuration done on the source system. If you give a shared mail or calendar to the users and if they are able to access it with their userid and passwords in your desired way (without portal in the picture), then I am sure we should be able to implement it through portal as well.
The following checklist can help you implement this assuming that it works fine in the above scenario:
1) There has to be a corresponding user on the source system or you will have to map the portal user to the user on the backend system to pass through the authentication check
2) Groupware integration is implementated successfully
3) SSO with logon tickets or SSO with user mapping is implemented
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Sunil

IOS 7: How to view shared calendars using apple Calendar server

We use an OS X Server with Calendar server. On OS X you can see shared (delegated) calendars in Calendar by selecting the them in the preferences.
Using iOS 6 one could view shared CalDAV calendars by adding the same account more than once each with a different server URL. A fair bit more work but once configured it worked like a charm.
The Calendar app on iOS 7 still does not show delegated or shared calendars using the Calendar server from Apple. Because iOS 7 does not allow to add a CalDAV account more than once the iOS 6 workaround is no longer possible.
How can I view shared Calendars on iOS 7?

Problems with a shared calendar using Outlook 2007 and Exchange 2010

Hello all,
We are having a problem with sharing a calendar using Outlook 2007 and Exchange 2010.
I will start with some background. I have just started my position with this company. I have been working with networks for awhile at the small business level. I have not had much production experience with exchange. There is only myself and my supervisor
who has inherited a midsized network which was built by five previous techs that are no longer with the company. Of course, the previous techs did not leave much documentation, so the original hows and whys for our system setup has been lost.
One of the managers has a calendar she shares with some of our users. I believe this calendar has been in use since sometime in 2006. A mailbox was created to hold this calendar to keep it separate from the managers calendar. I am not sure what version
of exchange they were using at that time, but I assume there was one or two migrations of it getting to its current state on our exchange 2010 server. At some point it was observed that the other workers she was sharing with were not able to access it correctly.
I am not fully sure what the original problem was (possibly some people not being able to see or connect to the calendar), but it was decided to give everyone who needed access to this calendar full access permissions through exchange. Correct me if I
am wrong, but I believe that gave everyone connected the ability to do anything with the calendar. Of course the manager was not happy about that. This is where I started working on the problem.
I removed everyone, except the manager who wants to control the calendar, from having "Full Access Permissions". This did have the effect of making some people just able to see the calendar and not make changes. Though there were others that were
able to connect to the calendar who I thought would not be able to. The manager that originally created the calendar did try to manage access to it through the Outlook interface, though it currently does not seem to be fully in effect.
So, to get to the point of what we are trying to do, is there a way to get the original manager back into control of the calendar though Outlook? It would be preferred to be able to keep the history of what they tracked of this calendar, so starting a new
one would be something we would rather avoid. After that, getting all of the users that need to connect to the calendar reconnected with the correct access permissions and making sure they are all synchronized.
I realize this is a big mess, and your help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Nigel,
How is the impact, just one user or all users, Outlook or OWA?
If just one user, it seems like an issue on the Outlook Client side.
Please trying to re-create new profile to fresh the caches.
Please runing Outlook under safe mode to avoid some AVs, add-ins and firewall.

How to get shared calendars using EWS

Hi,
I want to monitor all calendars shared to a user via EWS. I know how to do this provided I know each of the user names. But I don't. So I need to get a list of all the users that have shared their calendar to one specific user. But how? I've searched around.
Is it possible?
If this is indeed not possible; is there a way to list all users? That way should be able to figure out which of them have shared their calendar with 'my' user, by trial and error if nothing else.
Thank you and best regards,
babu

There is no direct way to do this however you can enumerate the Shared Calendar folders a user has added by enumerating the Nav links in the Common Views folder see
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee157359(v=exchg.80).aspx. You can then get the Mailbox this link refers to use the PidTagWlinkAddressBookEID and extracting the X500 address
from that property. The you can just bind to each of the Folders using that information.
eg
static Dictionary<string, Folder> GetSharedCalendarFolders(ExchangeService service, String mbMailboxname)
Dictionary<String, Folder> rtList = new System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary<string, Folder>();
//GetSharedContacts
FolderId rfRootFolderid = new FolderId(WellKnownFolderName.Root, mbMailboxname);
FolderView fvFolderView = new FolderView(1000);
SearchFilter sfSearchFilter = new SearchFilter.IsEqualTo(FolderSchema.DisplayName, "Common Views");
FindFoldersResults ffoldres = service.FindFolders(rfRootFolderid, sfSearchFilter, fvFolderView);
if (ffoldres.Folders.Count == 1)
PropertySet psPropset = new PropertySet(BasePropertySet.FirstClassProperties);
ExtendedPropertyDefinition PidTagWlinkAddressBookEID = new ExtendedPropertyDefinition(0x6854, MapiPropertyType.Binary);
ExtendedPropertyDefinition PidTagWlinkFolderType = new ExtendedPropertyDefinition(0x684F, MapiPropertyType.Binary);
ExtendedPropertyDefinition PidTagWlinkGroupName = new ExtendedPropertyDefinition(0x6851, MapiPropertyType.String);
psPropset.Add(PidTagWlinkAddressBookEID);
psPropset.Add(PidTagWlinkFolderType);
ItemView iv = new ItemView(1000);
iv.PropertySet = psPropset;
iv.Traversal = ItemTraversal.Associated;
SearchFilter cntSearch = new SearchFilter.IsEqualTo(PidTagWlinkGroupName, "Other Calendars");
FindItemsResults<Item> fiResults = ffoldres.Folders[0].FindItems(cntSearch, iv);
foreach (Item itItem in fiResults.Items)
try
object GroupName = null;
object WlinkAddressBookEID = null;
if (itItem.TryGetProperty(PidTagWlinkAddressBookEID, out WlinkAddressBookEID))
byte[] ssStoreID = (byte[])WlinkAddressBookEID;
int leLegDnStart = 0;
String lnLegDN = "";
for (int ssArraynum = (ssStoreID.Length - 2); ssArraynum != 0; ssArraynum--)
if (ssStoreID[ssArraynum] == 0)
leLegDnStart = ssArraynum;
lnLegDN = System.Text.ASCIIEncoding.ASCII.GetString(ssStoreID, leLegDnStart + 1, (ssStoreID.Length - (leLegDnStart + 2)));
ssArraynum = 1;
NameResolutionCollection ncCol = service.ResolveName(lnLegDN, ResolveNameSearchLocation.DirectoryOnly, true);
if (ncCol.Count > 0)
FolderId SharedCalendarId = new FolderId(WellKnownFolderName.Calendar, ncCol[0].Mailbox.Address);
Folder SharedCalendaFolder = Folder.Bind(service, SharedCalendarId);
rtList.Add(ncCol[0].Mailbox.Address, SharedCalendaFolder);
catch (Exception exception)
Console.WriteLine(exception.Message);
return rtList;

Missing shared calendars using iCal and OS X Mountain Lion

My wife and I sharing our family calendars using iCloud. I created some of them and shared them ith my wife and she created others as well and shared them with me. Up here, business as usual :-)
I'm not sure about the concrete time it happens, but for a while I'm missing the calenders of my wife in the +-Menu of iCal and today my wife told me, shes missing my cals, too.
Using our mobile devices (iPad, iPod) we are both able to create new events in every calender. A new event created in my own calendars is editable and can be moved into one of the shared cals of my wife.
Anyone out there having a solution for this?
Thanks
Stephan

The following is a summary of other posts: It helped some of us. Try it out!
1. Make a backup ( a) Time Machine, b) Export > Archive iCal) Close iCal
2. In Finder hold down alt-Key while choosing "Go to..." menu
3. Select Library
4. In the folder Calendar delete the files
Calendar Sync Changes
Calendar Cache
5. In the folder Preferences delete the files
com.apple.CalendarAgent.plist
com.apple.iCal.helper.plist
com.apple.iCal.plist
com.apple.iCalExternalSync.plist
com.apple.syncserver.plist
(not sure which one is the bad guy, but it did not hurt to erase all of them)
6. Start iCal, it will update itself.
HTH, Patric

Solution for family shared calendar using Mobile Me

Hello,
I don't think this issue has been resolved. Here's what we did:
Home computer is running the lastest update 10.6.4 ical is set to my (primary mobile account). It is a caldav account set to push. My iphone is set-up using a mobile account set on push(fetch data).
My Wife's iphone for the calendar to set to only cal.me.com. To set-up go to Mail/contacts/calendar (chose other) now chose caldav. Use the exact settings on the second iphone that you have on your home computer under ical- (your mobileMe user and password- with the server set to cal.me.com...
All subscribed calendars must be entered on each phone. With this you both can add edit and delete events in real time
I hope this helps, sorry if already posted.

Since no one has used Mobile Me, you will probably get the best answers currently available to all of us by reading the two links provided by Apple which are located at the top of the .Mac Discussions Category page: http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=116

Outlook Connector and shared calendar

Hi.
Looking for some help troubleshooting an issue with shared calendar functionality from Outlook using the Connector.
All server bits are JES-R2. Connector version is 6.0.129.
Connector is working for the most part, but when I try to subscribe to another users calendar from Outlook it is failing. Even when I do a search, and pick the user from the list, the lookup fails to return the user and I get "User not found. Either enter the email id of the user OR click on Search and then click Find to locate the user."
The ldap search I'm seeing in the access logs is curious in the sense that it seems to binding with dn="".
[23/Jun/2004:15:18:54 -0400] conn=346 op=0 msgId=1 - BIND dn="" method=128 versi
on=2
[23/Jun/2004:15:18:54 -0400] conn=346 op=0 msgId=1 - RESULT err=0 tag=97 nentrie
s=0 etime=0 dn=""
[23/Jun/2004:15:18:54 -0400] conn=346 op=1 msgId=2 - SRCH base="o=msgdemo.isdint
egration.com,dc=msgdemo,dc=isdintegration,dc=com" scope=2 filter="(uid=test1@msg
demo.isdintegration.com)" attrs="cn uid mail givenName sn icsCalendar"
[23/Jun/2004:15:18:54 -0400] conn=346 op=1 msgId=2 - RESULT err=0 tag=101 nentri

[23/Jun/2004:15:18:55 -0400] conn=346 op=-1 msgId=-1 - closed.
This is returning 0 entries, and I believe this is why it is failing. I believe the connector is probably using this search to retrieve the users calendar_id.
If I type the uid into the dialog box (to subscribe) I get this in the ldap:
===============================================================
[23/Jun/2004:14:12:58 -0400] conn=299 op=0 msgId=1 - BIND dn="" method=128 versi

=================================================================
This time, it has a proper uid (not a mail address) but still returns 0 entries.
Here is a section from s10c.log that accompanies this:

If someone is still following this thread:
The problem seems to stem from the fact that the subscribe to calendar function from the connector (outlook) is searching ldap on uid, but using an email address as a value:

How to Read Outlook Exchange Shared Calendars on iPhone?

My company uses microsoft outlook exchange and I have been using iphone syncing with this outlook exchange calendar. Besides my own calendar, on the outlook exchange, I have access to another shared calendar. I want to be able to read this shared calendar on my iPhone but cannot figure out how to do it. Previously I learned from other postings that iPhone doesn't support it.
The new OS 3.0 support CalDav and I am wondering if this will enable me to read the shared calendars of my outlook exchange on my iPhone. Does anybody know how to do it? If the current firmware solely doesn't support it, might there are other ways to do it with supports of other apps? How about through Google Calendar? Or there are any apps can automatically copy the contents in the outlook exchange shared calendars to my outlook exchange calendar?
Does anybody have solutions? Many thanks!

The shared MS Exchange calendar is ICS format which SHOULD be able to be added as "Add Subscribed Calendar" in the Settings/Mail, Contacts, Calendars/Add Account/Other screens on the iPhone.
I'm tring to add a 2nd Exchange Outlook calendar only and need it to sync over the air.
Just can't find the correct way to get it entered to work? The link sent by Outlook (I'm running 2007) when you send the invite doesn't work and copy/paste to the server name is also a bust. Have tried direct copy paste, cutting off the webcal:// prefix, etc. Just won't authenticate.
No documentation that I can find on either Apple or MS site to validate the exact syntax required.
I can hit the https link provided by MS on my Safari iPhone browser after entering my MS Online ID and access the calendar online. And yes tried several of MS Online IDs that I have as UID/PW in the iPhone config screens without success.
A little more info on my config.
3gs 32mb
Have exchange acct as primary email with email contacts and calendar working
Have CalDAV link to my wife's Google calendar working
Have several other subscribed calendars (ics) working: US Holidays, AmericanHistory.com, and my TripIt profile.
I DO NOT want to use MobileMe to make this work. Life would be so easy if iPhone would just support multiple Exchange accts!
Funny thing I just noticed...spell check on forum IDs "iPhone" and "MobileMe" lol

Exchange Outlook 2013 freezes when deleting shared calendar for employees who have been removed

Hi,
I am removing users' shared calendars from my outlook 2013 in exchange environment. The problem is, that the shared calendars belong to users who have left the company and have been removed from the domain, this is causing outlook to freeze because i think
it's trying to find the entry then delete it, rather than delete it.
There is no problem deleting a shared calendar for an user who still is in the domain. This seems to be strictly affecting users who have left the domain.

Hi,
Generally, if the shared calendar owner is removed from the Exchange environment, the shared calendar which was added before should be removed from Outlook client normally.
Please use Outlook with Exchange cached mode, and make sure the shared calendar was not added in Advanced tab in Account Settings. Please start Outlook in safe mode and remove the shared calendar to have a try.
If the issue doesn’t happen in safe mode, please disable the third-party add-ins one by one to find out the cause.

Help viewing shared calendars on my iPhone?

I've seen this same issue in a couple forums but haven't seen a solution yet. Maybe I'm just missing something. I am running outlook 2007, exchange 2003. All of my appointments in my calendar sync nicely between outlook and iphone but we have a shared calendar that doesn't show up in my phone. I keep missing meetings and appointments that are set up for me because I can't view the calendar. Any suggestions? Am I missing something?

If I read correctly, the iPhone won't sync multiple Exchange calendars, since you can only have 1 Exchange account at a time configured on the iPhone. However, it looks like with OS 3+, you can access a shared calendar using CalDAV or .ics. I have not tried it, so I don't know if it will work with Exchange. On the phone: Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendar->Add Account->Other->Calendar: Add Subscribed Calendar or Add CalDAV Account.. Let us know if it works!

Office365 shared calendars are not recognized in win7

Dear all,
this is my experience.... I have to share the calendars with write permissions for some my colleagues, all of them have windows 7 installed and recently Office365.
I have shared their calendar giving write permission to the reception account. When I see their shared calendars from the receptionist's outlook client, no permissions are visible but they are correctly set in the respective Web App of the same account.
If I install the same account in outlook with Windows 8 everything works fine.
who can help me to solve the problem with Windows 7?
thanks so much

Hi,
Does the issue happen to all your Windows 7 users who is shared calendar? Are Outlook clients the same version in all problematic Windows machines? Please double check the calendar permission is set to Editor in the shared calendar.
Confirm if the shared calendar can be viewed in OWA. If the issue doesn’t happen in OWA and Outlook in Windows 8 but only in Windows 7, please change another new clean Windows 7 client with Outlook 365 to check whether the issue persists.
If the issue doesn’t happen in new Windows 7 machine, please disable any third-party mail program in old machines and create new Windows profile to have a try.
Thanks,

Permissions required to search a shared calendar?

I can view the shared calendar in my Outlook session, but whenever I attempt a search of calendar items, Outlook defaults back to my own mailbox calendar view and returns results that do not contain results from the Shared Calendar.
I have Editor permissions to the calendar.
Ideas?
Jason Meyer

Hi Jason,
Please check the following settings in Outlook:
1. Click File > Options > Search.
2. In the Results part, check Current folder.
3. Click OK to save the settings.
Then we can search the shared calendar by the following steps:
1. Navigate to Calendar pane, check the specific shared calendar listed under Shared Calendars.
2. Uncheck all calendars listed under My Calendars.
3. In the right top corner of the calendar month view, there is a box which we can type the Keywords to Search Shared -Calendar. Alternatively, we can press Ctrl +E to search it.
Then check whether the issue persists.

Shared Calendar Alerts

How do I stop getting alerts from each of my shared calendars using iPhone6 and iOS8?

trietsch wrote:
The alerts for those other calendars don't come up when logged into my Mac using a browser.
No, completely different user interface, so they quite possibly don't. Don't know what to tell you, other than offering Apple feedback here: http://www.apple.com/feedback/, but considering all of my subscribed (non Apple) calendars allow separate alerts and Google doesn't, it may not be something Apple can change.
You could also consider downloading a separate calendar app for those. There are a number of free apps that work quite well.
