CalDAV client?

I'm storing all of my iCal calendars on a CalDAV server, NOT owned by Google.
Today I bought an iPod Touch... Overall I'm impressed with it, but I keep finding a bunch of "almost got it" issues...
My biggest complaint is that the calendar application is USELESS to me, because (1) the iPod Touch doesn't seem to have any way to connect to the CalDAV server, and (2) MobileMe doesn't synchronize CalDAV calendars at all. IMAP yes, but CalDAV no.
I've tried copying my personal events back to an iCal file on the local Mac, where MobileMe will synchronize them and the iPod Touch will pick them up... however one of the calendars is maintained by somebody else, and I'm just subscribed to an .ics file on a web site; and several other calendars need to be maintained by multiple people, which meant that CalDAV was really the only option. (I'm using DAViCal, http://www.davical.org/ on my Linux web server as the CalDAV server.)
And unless I'm missing something, there's currently no way for the iPod Touch to access these calendars at all (other than through the browser, using a read-only web interface for a public web site, which has nothing to do with any of this.)
Am I missing something? Did Apple, with all their hype about CalDAV in 10.5, forget to include CalDAV client connectivity in the iPod Touch and iPhone? If so, is there a third-party app which can access the CalDAV share from the iPod Touch (like Sunbird, for example) even if it doesn't use the built-in calendar app? Is there going to be an update soon which adds CalDAV client functionality to the iPod Touch?

CalDAV client in iCal connecting to something other than iCal Server

Has anyone attempted to use the CalDav client in Leopard to connect to a CalDav compliant server other than Apple iCal Server? I've tried using a Merak server and it fails while Sunbird connects without a problem. The error I get from iCal is fairly generic...something like "Account information not found"

How to connect ZTE Open C with Firefox OS 1.3 to a calDAV server of Synology DSM 5.1?

Hi,
I am running Firefox OS 1.3 on a ZTE Open C. I am trying to connect the calendar of the phone to a calDAV server of a NAS of Synology running DSM 5.1 (newest release).
I go into the calendar app of the phone and configure the calDAV account:
username: testuser
password: *******
URL: https://192.168.1.251:5006/testcalendar
The calendar does not connect and the error message the phone shows is:
wrong login and/or password
Some background information:
1. I am successfully connecting to this calendar from a Windows 8.1 PC (Firefox Lightning), an Apple iPAD (Apple Calendar), and a Linux notebook (Firefox Lightning). So the URL, the login and the calendar work ok.
2. I am successfully connecting with the firefox browser of the phone using https to the mangagement interface (port 7001) of the NAS (the certificate is flagged as "untrusted" and a permanent exception has been made). So login with https works ok in principle.
3. I get the same error message "wrong login and/or password" under DSM 5.0. So it is not a problem of the version of the Synology DSM calDAV server
4. I get the same error "wrong login and/or password) with an unsecure connection using http and the respective URL: http://192.168.1.251:5005/testcalendar (beware of the changed port number using http). So it is not a problem of the ssl-connection.
I have connected the phone to the linux machine and generated the log by running:
sudo adb logcat -v time > calendar.log
Here is are the results of the log (I have made 1 unsuccessful attempt to connect to the calDAV server on 11-16 14:26 and 2 unsuccessful attempts on 11-16 14:27. I am not sure for which message to look for so I just have the sections that contain most probably the bug (If required I can of course provide the full log or even re-test and re-log). my guess for the bug is:

Hi Ralph,
thanks a lot for the quick response. This is very appreciated! I will try to equally give you all the information required as quickly as possible.
1. CalDAV Log on Synology:
I have tested the connection between the calDAV client on ZTE Open C (Firefox OS 1.3) and the calDAV server on Synology (DSM 5.1) again and I get the same bug "wrong login and/or password". The logs on the Synology NAS show the following (Synology NAS: Control Panel-> File Services -> webDAV -> Advanced Settings -> View Logs -> Select: Connection)
User [testuser] from [192.168.1.6] failed to login in via [WebDAV] due to authorization failure
2. Seperate Folder/Files for calendar on Synolgoy
I have setup the CalDAV files on Synology NASin a dedicated folder. The calendar ist in https://192.168.1.251:5006/dir_PersonalCalendars/testcalendar . Unfortunately the error on the ZTE Open C is the same as before: "wrong login and/or password" .
Interesting is, that if I mis-type the folder or the calendar name, then I get on the ZTE Open C the error: "Something is wrong. Try again later".
This suggests that the folder and files are well recognized when loggin in.
Hope that helps you to continue. If you need something more, than please let me know.
Thanks,
Schaefi

CalDAV Calendars No Longer Work in Mountain Lion?!

Since upgrading to Mountain Lion, CalDAV no longer works for me - it fails to log in to the server (which I know is working because the same credentials and address still work on my iPhone and iPad).
I've tried deleting and re-adding the calendar and making sure alerts are not defaulted to none, but now, if I try to re-add it using the Wizard, it fails because it can't log in (it says it found a calendar but that my login failed), and if I edit the parameters for one that I know works to those now, it keeps telling me the server gave an error when I try to connect and asking for my password. This is not the problem with creating and modifying events in Zimbra - I never even get there, I cannot log in to my CalDAV server anymore using credentials that I know work using other CalDAV clients.
Any help would be appeciated, this is a disabling, showstopper problem, I don't want to have to back out the OS install for this or g-d forbid, pave my machine, but I must have a functional calendar.

I unfortunately am still getting a serious problem with connecting to a non-Zimbra caldav server. From looking in the logs, here is what I am seeing:
8/13/12 8:25:48.977 PM Calendar[6228]: *** WARNING: -[NSImage compositeToPoint:fromRect:operation:] is deprecated in MacOSX 10.8 and later. Please use -[NSImage drawAtPoint:fromRect:operation:fraction:] instead.

8/13/12 8:40:57.204 PM Calendar[6658]: [com.apple.calendar.ui.log.updatetext] [There was an error trying to get the status from CalendarAgent: 5]
(I tried the keychain fix and we're still getting this.)

CalDAV not showing any events or todos

Dear all,
I have a CalDAV account and can access it with both iCal and Thunderbird Lightning (an open source CalDAV client).
I added it to my iPod Touch (running 3.1.2) and the iPod is able to connect to the server and pull down the list of calendars available to me. However, they are all empty. What could be wrong?

Spent more and more time trying to figure out a solution and finally came across a simple fix! If the start day is changed to Monday from Sunday it will fix this issue! (However, if changed back to Sunday the issue will persist)
Thanks to Musitrio for the head's up on this one.

How to use iCal Server with clients?

Ok, so since I can't find this anywhere... How do I use iCal Server with other desktop clients? I've selected the user, enabled calendaring, the user can authenticate in web-based group calendars. But then I'm stuck.
How do I give them their own calendar?
In iCal, I go to Accounts and try and enter the info but it fails every time. I tried the dns name like so: "calendar.example.edu" but it generates an error. But the user can log in to the web calendar for groups. Where is the users individual calendar located?
The help menu ignores that field as if it's not needed, but then it fails because the calendar doesn't know where the server is. The clients can't all be OD bound, so this has to work outside of Open Directory. According to Apple other CalDAV clients can connect too. How? Computers just don't "connect" on their own.
Anyone know the answer?

I was getting the same error when I tried to subscribe to a calendar using:
Subscribe to: http://myserver.example.com:8008/
principals/users/usershortname
I found that if I added a trailing slash to the URL then it would work :
Subscribe to: http://myserver.example.com:8008/
principals/users/usershortname/
(the way I found this was to navigate via the web browser to http://myserver.example.com:8008 then authenticate as a user, then navigating through to http://myserver.example.com:8008/principals/users/ where you can see all the user names all with a trailing slash after them)
hope this helps

Questions about documented client limitations

I set up a 1.4.2 Beehive server so my boss could test it out, and then sent him the end user PDF. Since we're currently using Oracle Calendar standalone, we're primarily interested in testing the time management component of Beehive, and generally via CalDAV clients.
The End User guide mentions some pretty serious limitations, though. In particular
- only supporting up to 250 meetings per calendar. That's like one week for my boss. ;-)
- only being able to look one month back for meetings.
These two limitations alone severely hobble the product. Why the limitations, and are there plans to remove them?
Also, how do you do free/busy searches via a CalDAV client, like Sunbird?
How do you search for other users, to be able to schedule a meeting with them?
We're really interested in Beehive since it's claimed goal is to allow the use of open standards-based clients, but some of the limitations in the current offering are pretty severe. We're looking for some kind of confirmation that these issues are on the roadmap to be addressed.
Thanks,
Tim

Hi Tim,
Some comments inline
>
- only supporting up to 250 meetings per calendar. That's like one week for my boss. ;-)The doc isn't too descriptive, is it :)
The limitation is not a server limitation per se, but rather a self-imposed limit and it's on a per-client type basis.
Fundamentally, in testing it was found that while some caldav clients handle large numbers of meetings nicely other caldav clients don't do so well. Beehive therefore puts a (configurable) limit on the number of meetings returned to each caldav client type. Note that 'meeting' in this case includes all occurences of a meeting, so if for example you have 20 meetings that repeat every week for a year that's counted as "20" not "20x52" meetings.
I believe the restriction is higher for iCal on the Mac than e.g. sunbird and lightning. Also, as the clients improve their scalability and handling of large number of meetings then the default limits will be increased accordingly.
If you (or your boss) is missing meetings in e.g. sunbird, then please do contact oracle support and they'll explain how to increase that limit for your boss's client (for diagnosability purposes, they'll be missing "this week" rather than way out in the future). I don't know the latest testing results for e.g. lightning 0.9, but I suspect that 1000 is probably still too high.
Even with a pretty busy schedule, 250 meetings is quite a lot. The only time i've seen people hit it is when they have many years worth of non-repeating day events (so for example, ten years worth of holidays for multiple countries where christmas day is not "repeats yearly" but instead is 10 individual meetings/day events.
>
- only being able to look one month back for meetings.I don't believe that's true anymore. In previous releases the solution to the above issue was to limit the number of meetings returned by 'time period' rather than count. In the more recent releases it's limited by count instead. I'm looking right now at my calendar in lightning 0.9 for september last year and it looks pretty full (although june isn't very full...)
>
These two limitations alone severely hobble the product. Why the limitations, and are there plans to remove them?
Also, how do you do free/busy searches via a CalDAV client, like Sunbird?Click on the 'invite attendees' button in the 'new meeting' dialog. enter invitees' email addresses and the free/busy should complete automatically. There's also a 'search time slot' button that'll find mutually convenient times.
How do you search for other users, to be able to schedule a meeting with them?That's more tricky... if you use lightning then it'll pull the email addresses for auto-complete from your thunderbird addressbook. If you use iCal I believe it pulls from the mac address book. In Sunbird you have to know people's email addresses.
hope that helps.

Richard

Caldav protocol synchronization and time range

hi.
i have question about time range filtring and caldav clients ical (mac).
i am realy wory about performance.i debuged request form client (throw
proxy) and i don't see block filter and time-range.
in my system will be for 1 calendar 10 000 events ( 100 in future and
9900 in past). and i think server will response 10000 etags. if only 1
event is updated in future.
maybe i am wrong :(. if somebody know about time rage implementation,
please explain. or how to do limiting on server site

Eugen ,
EEM action is triggered by 2 events in this case :
- time interval - because you want to take actions only between 12 and 16
- tunnel interface down.
After the applet is applying the actions it will stop, it will not run just once like a daemon, it is more like a script.
So there is the need to run every minute and check if the tunnel is down.
Please correct me if i'm wrong Joseph

Sun java calendar 6.3 to CALDAV migration problem

Hi guys, could you help us?
We tried to migrate users from calendar 6.3 to calendar 7U1 (formally known as calendar for CALDAV clients), but we were not successful.
Users were located in LDAP (version 6.3.1 on Solaris 10 x64) and had values in LDAP in following format:
dn: uid = user,dc=example,dc=com
mail = user_name@domain
Problem resides in following:
1. start of migration:
davadmin migration -a user@domain -F clifile -c
2. in master.log (migration log) we saw
[user_name@domain] Fetch of user preferences failed for user_name@domain -
[user_name@domain] Migration did not complete successfully.
Migration complete.
3. in LDAP access log we saw, that first search with filter "mail: user_name@domain" was successful, but in following - second search we saw that uid is garbled - "uid=user@domain". User with "uid=user@domain" was not in LDAP. But after some trying we found out that the problem was in domain part. When we tried get_userprefs.wcap in browser with uid without domain part (uid=user) we got relevant information, because such entry existed in our LDAP.
So the question is: Is there any way how to remove domain part from uid during LDAP search?
Many thanks.
LV.

Hi guys, thank you very much for your answer.
There is a typo in my previous post, in step 1, I'm sorry.
We run migration with following command:
davadmin migration -a user_name@domain -F clifile ..... (user is defined in format of "user_name@domain" - mail format and not in format user@domain how I wrongly wrote last time).
Btw., when we use format user@domain ( format uid@domain) we get error which is talking about "Unknown user". This is correct because such user does not exist in our LDAP.
When we use format user_name@domain we get error which was described in my previous post.
Could you tell us, how to check legacy mode in our sun calendar 6.3 installation?
Many thanks.
LV.

CalDAV issue

Hi,
I have a CalDAV server I used for a couple of months without any problem. Since a few days (potentially since the upgrade to iPhone OS 3.1.3), CalDAV entries failed to work properly.
I have the following CalDAV clients:
- iCal on Mac OS X 10.6.3
- Mozilla Sunbird 0.9 on Windows XP
- iPhone 3.1.3
My calendar account has the following calendars:
- my own calendar
- subscription to a shared calendar on the same server I am allowed to write to
- 4 iCal subscriptions
All clients including the iPhone worked using a CalDAV connection for a couple of months. I was able to create entries for both calendar entries on any of these clients and saw the change on the others.
Since a few days, I have a changed behavior on my iPhone:
- I do no more see any calendar updates
- New entries from the iPhone are properly submitted to the server
I deleted and recreated the account on the iPhone. What I see is that all my iCal subscriptions are showing up again. All writable calendars however, only appear in the overview with the correct colors but no entry is visible on the iPhone. It seems that the CalDAV connection in principle is working but some data are not displayed on the iPhone anymore.
Then, I also tested with a second iPhone (3.1.2) using the same shared calendar. This iPhone still works without any problem. Is this CalDAV bug potentially related to the iPhone release 3.1.3?
Any hints to resolve my CalDAV issue?

I have solved my problem. The posteo support helped me with the following suggestion:
1. I exported the whole calendar in the posteo web gui.
2. Then I reset the calendar using the web gui (delete all events).
3. Next I sync all my (working) clients with the calendar. The result is an empty calendar on all my working clients.
4. Delete the calendar in BB
5. import the calendar (ics file) that was exported in step 1 with my Thunderbird/Lightning client.
6. Sync all other clients (my calendar is back on all clients)
7. Create a new CalDav calendar in BB
8. Now it works with all my Thunderbird/Lightning, Android and BB clients.
Hope that is helpful for others with this kind of issue.

Can you share iCalander/Address Book with other users and restrict them from seeing certain entries?

I'm doing some research for my boss concerning iCloud. He would like to setup a way to syncronize iCalender and the Address Book between three users but keep his personal information private. For example, he wants to be able to update his calender from his phone about an upcoming meeting/project so that the three computers at work are all updated and see upcoming events. Same goes for the contacts. If he adds a new contact or if I add a new contact, for a client or whoever it may be, he wants it to sync up for everyone. At the same time, if he adds a personal event to iCal such as, "Dinner with the girlfriend" or something irrelevant to work, he doesn't employees to be able to see that. My first idea was to setup an iCloud account but I'm wondering if you can even restrict certain things within an account.
Anyone have any other ideas? They would be greatly appreciated.

iCloud appears to provide no Address Book sharing. You might be able to do this through Google, but it would be likely to be all contacts or none.
iCloud allows you to share calendars privately (editable if you wish) to other iCloud users or publicly (non-editable) to anyone - they would need a CalDAV client to read it, such as iCal or Google Calendars.
You share individual calendars, so private events should be in their own calendar which is not shared.

Can I share an icloud calendar with a person who has no apple id?

As soon as I switched to iCloud my shared mobile me calendar no longer updated. It appears that to now share, all parties must be an iCloud subscriber. The person with whom I share this calendar is not an Apple user and has no interest in acquiring an iCloud account. She does, however, need to view my calendar. Are there steps I am missing to allow her to view the calendar in either outlook, or using a web based format as was available before the change?
Thanks!

I didn't explain correctly. Right now I share (subscribe) a calendar on Mobile Me , in addition to my own personal calendar. That shared calendar is staying on Mobile Me and I need to be able to access it once I move my personal calendar to iCloud. That is, if I use iCloud can I share calendars that are not on iCloud, but are on MobileMe?
You can't do this: when you migrate your MobileMe account to iCloud the calendars will be transferred there and no longer available on MobileMe.
You can share calendars privately or publicly from iCloud: private calendars can only be viewed by nominated iCloud members; public calendars can be viewed by anybody in a CalDAV client such as iCal or Google Calendar (though they are non-editable).

How do you put an iCloud calendar online so that people can see it like you can a Google calendar?

I manage the calendar solution for the school I work at. We all, teachers and students, will get iPads about a month from now, and I'm trying to set up calendars for when those show up. Since every person has different needs, I'm in the process of creating a different calendar for each discrete activity, and the people in charge of the activities will have access to edit the events on those calendars. Our website has links for students to subscribe to calendars that relate to the events they are involved in, which is good, but I also need all the events to be visible on a calendar so that people outside the school can see what is going on without subscribing to every single calendar. I tried using Google calendar, but they are pretty rubbish when it comes to syncing with Apple's calendars on iCloud. While iCloud does a good job of reading calendars hosted on Google, I really need the calendars to be hosted on iCloud so that teachers can share authoring privileges on their iPads. Initially I couldn't even get Google calendar to read my calendars, and had to use this website to even get my calendars into Google calendar in the first place. Now that it's connected, the Google calendar won't update the school calendars when I update them, leading to an outdated calendar showing up on the website. The whole point of putting calendars online is that we have seamless instant communication, and Google's bungling it up.
In short, is there another website I could use to display my calendars from iCloud Calendar in an iframe on the school's website?
You can take a look at the Google calendar embedded on the website here.
The subscriptions to the iCloud calendars can be found here.
Please help.

Ah, I see what you mean. My apologies for the RTFM response without testing it myself first.
I think iCloud shares calendars using the CalDAV standard. This means that you'll have to open the link using a client that can understand this. I just tested it with Novell GroupWise at work and it worked fine. I suspect it might also work with Outlook. I tried to add the calendar in Google Calendar by clicking under Other Calendars, Add by URL, but that did not work, so Google Calendar may not be a CalDAV client. For more information see
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MobileMe#MobileMe_Mail_Beta
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CalDAV
http://wiki.davical.org/w/CalDAV_Clients
http://caldav.calconnect.org/implementations/clients.html
If anyone is aware of a website that allows you to see public CalDAV calendars, please let us know. That would be useful information. I tried briefly looking at http://www.icalshare.com, since that site seems to be somehow related to how Apple shares the public calendars, but I was not able to figure out how to view my public calendar there. I think perhaps you need to create an account there and then it might let you. But even then the views they have of public calendars at that site at static views updated once per day. For a live view of the calendar you'll still need to use a proper CalDAV client, I think. So, once again, are there any CalDAV web clients?

How to view Hijri Calendar in ICal

Hi,
I am using ICal on Leopard and have a few calendars that I publish privately. Is there a way to incorporate Hijri Calendar with the default Gregorian Calendar. i.e I want to be able to view the Hijri dates along side the default ones...
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated..

There is a difference between sharing and publishing. The latter means getting your calendar to display as an ordinary web page: firstly this cannot be done with a calendar listed under iCloud (this was also true with MobileMe) but only if it's listed under 'On My Mac'. The facility is still available in iCal for such calendars, but the problem is that it has to be published to a CalDav server because MobileMe, which used to take the published files and turn it into a web page, is not longer available. It's assumed in the Help that you are going to be running such a server yourself, which obviously requires a fair standard of technical knowledge. It's been claimed that Box.net can do this but I've seen complaints that it doesn't work.
Sharing, which you can do with iCloud calendars, makes the calendars available for others to subscribe to in a CalDAV client - iCal itself is such a client, and you can also do this with Google calendar - this does require the recipient to have a Google account. The process with iCloud is described in this page and the pages following:

BusyCal has various sharing options and there is a full user guide available here:

Publish is gone from my menu; how do I find the url of a calendar to shar?

I used to publish calendars, but publish doesn't come up as an option. I tried sharing, but the people I want to share with don't have MobileMe. I made the calendar share with everybody, but I don't know how to find its address to give to people. I loved the system the way it worked before -- please don't tell me I have to migrate everything to Google...

Only 'On My Mac' calendars can be published to an ordinary web page: MobileMe calendars can be shared but the viewers will need a CalDav client to view them - iCal is of course one such, or Google Calendar for people with Windows. More details here:

There is an unofficial and probably very dodgy method to publish a MobileMe calendar to a web page, but it depends on a bug in iCal so there's no guarantee it won't stop working at any time (and I don't know whether it works in Lion). Use at your own risk: the method is described here -
