Calendar Server Roadmap

Hi
Does anyone know when the Calendar Server will again ship with an HTML administration interface? The feedback I have from several customers is that the current incarnation (5.whatever) is pretty impossible to administer.
Thanks
Rob

Did you ever get an anwser to this question as I'm testing the product at the moment and I'm used to the console interface for iMS and Netscape DS and find iCS 5.1 difficult.

Wcap server versus caldav server (roadmap)

Good afternoon,
Right now, Sun offers two calendar servers the wcap (6.3) and the caldav (7.0).
Are there any roadmap on what these two branches are becoming?
Thanks in advance for your answer.

Are there any roadmap on what these two branches are becoming?The short version is that Calendar Server 6.3 is to be replaced by Calendar Server 7 so no further development is going into the older Calendar Server 6.3 product. Dependant products (Convergence and Outlook Connector) will at some point in the future be able to use Calendar Server 7 (CalDAV support). The only other "roadmap" that I can provide publicly is here:
http://wikis.sun.com/display/CommSuite/Calendar+Server+7+What%27s+New#CalendarServer7What%27sNew-FutureEnhancements
Anything more detailed will need to come from your Sun Account Manager so I suggest asking them.

Shane.

Calendar Server user can not receive external invites

Hi,
We have a MacPro running ML Server 10.8.5 with 10 user accounts using the calendar and file server services.
Calendar server is where the issue is. We have 10 + users that are set up to send and receive external invites in calendar server without a problem. Recently, one of the user accounts stopped receiving external invites. The problem began not long after I set up a second account for the same user for their shared calendars (they requested this so all shared cals were not on their iOS devices). Although I used a separate email, it was an alias of the first so may have caused a conflict / problem (?). I got rid of the second account with no change to the first.
The account still receives invites from the other internal user accounts and the other services such as file sharing are unaffected. There are no other problems with the functionality of that user, in calendar or otherwise.
I have tried changing the email associated with that user account and setting up a new test user account (in Server). The email invite will still not come through.
I have changed it back to the way it was originally.
Summary
One of 10 user accounts does not receive external invites
Was working until recently
The account can send invites to external addresses
Same email address will not work even when associated with a different account
I have included a large section of the calendar error log from the part that references the email address (in red) attached to the user account in question. Apologies, I am not familiar with deciphering this information. That is why I've come here.
Any help would be very much appreciated. Thanks.

Thanks so much for your comment ~morgen.
Sorry, I should have mentioned, that it what my first thought so I tested by ensuring the email address associated with the user account (not hosted on the server but by Google Apps) is recieving all other mail.
I have also tried:
- Setting all accounts (calendar, email and contact card with associated email address) in another local user on a defferent Mac. So it's not a local user or Mail app issue.
- Sending invites from different Calendar apps and email accounts - iCloud, Gmail (both using Apple Calendar and the web interface).
That's why I came back around to thinking it must be calendar server related. However is there is absolutly no conntact with the server with incoming email invites I must be looking in the wrong place (and the wrong forum - sorry!).
Does anyone have any ideas where I should be focusing my efforts?
Many thanks in advance.

Hi Trinidad,
Thanks for your help!!!
1.
I didn't install EventSender and DIProxy yet, I tried first to upload and deploy the zip files, but I couldn't open the Itegration Application Explorer.
2.
The jvm.dll file is in in the folder pointed by the logs: C:\Program Files (x86)\SAP\SAP Business One Integration\jdk1.5.0_xx_sap\jre\bin\server
and it is also in C:\Program Files (x86)\SAP\SAP Business One Integration\jdk1.5.0_xx_sap_64\jre\bin\server
I tried running the file java5w.exe, but I got an error message:
Access is denied
Unable to open the service tomcat5
Thne I managed to open it by "rua as administrator".
the Java Virtual Machine path is points to the java 1.5 version folder.
Is it possible that the reason that the service can't start is related to administrator rigts??
In the properties in the Integration Service (services.msc):
It is set to be run with the local system account.
all other properties looks fine.
in the properties of the tomcat5.exe (and tomcat5w.exe , I tried both)
In the Compatibility tab I tried setting the flag "Run this program in compatibility mode for" to Vista, windows 7, and server 2008
I didn't have the option of Windows XP.
I have also set the Privilege level of: "Run this program as administrator" to true.
But still the service won't start.
What can be the problem?
What else can I check?
Thanks a lot,
Chana

Day 2 - Go into web page, now the calendar is shared with 0 others! Each phone also has a separate calendar. No configuration changes were made between days 1 and 2
It seems this to be a major bug in the Ovi Calendar suite? Is the Calendar service now deprecated and shutting down? The Calendar web page looks and feels like it's not being actively updated and supported

Thanks so much for your comment ~morgen.
Sorry, I should have mentioned, that it what my first thought so I tested by ensuring the email address associated with the user account (not hosted on the server but by Google Apps) is recieving all other mail.
I have also tried:
- Setting all accounts (calendar, email and contact card with associated email address) in another local user on a defferent Mac. So it's not a local user or Mail app issue.
- Sending invites from different Calendar apps and email accounts - iCloud, Gmail (both using Apple Calendar and the web interface).
That's why I came back around to thinking it must be calendar server related. However is there is absolutly no conntact with the server with incoming email invites I must be looking in the wrong place (and the wrong forum - sorry!).
Does anyone have any ideas where I should be focusing my efforts?
Many thanks in advance.

Is anyone using the Calendar Server to send external invites?

Is anyone using the Calendar Server to send external invites?
We have a Mountain Lion server running DNS, Open Directory, File Sharing and VPN. We have recently stood up the Calendar server and it is working very well. Internal invites work fine and are instantaneous to computer, iPhone, iPad. We have the ports working so that calendar items created outside the network work fine as well. Only problem is we cannot invite anyone with an external e-mail address. Each time we do the Calendar Error Log populates with:
2013-04-15 13:11:03-0500 [-] [mailgateway] 2013-04-15 13:11:03-0500 [Uninitialized] SMTP Client retrying server. Retry: 5

We have set up an internal e-mail address. I have confined that it works fine. I have tried more than one internal account. I have also verified the settings through the command line by typing "sudo serveradmin settings calendar" The iMIP sending and receiving information is correct. There is no authentication type setting listed in the command line output even though there's a place to choose it in the Enable invitations by email - Edit button on the third screen. No matter what I choose it goes back to "login" and still doesn't work.
The command line settings mention a port number 62310 as being the MailGatewayPort but opening that port on the network's firewall makes no difference. As I said external set up works fine from Mac/iPhone/iPad and push notification works fine as well.
Is anyone using this functionality?

I'm sorry. I forgot to add Mail to the list of services. I AM using mail on that server. Here's the iMIP portion of my settings output from Terminal.
calendar:Scheduling:iMIP:Sending:Server = "boardwalkserver.kuhnwitt.com"
calendar:Scheduling:iMIP:Sending:UseSSL = yes
calendar:Scheduling:iMIP:Sending:Username = "calendarserver"
calendar:Scheduling:iMIP:Sending:Address = "[email protected]"
calendar:Scheduling:iMIP:Sending:Password = "password"
calendar:Scheduling:iMIP:Sending:Port = 465
calendar:Scheduling:iMIP:Enabled = yes
calendar:Scheduling:iMIP:MailGatewayPort = 62310
calendar:Scheduling:iMIP:Receiving:Server = "boardwalkserver.kuhnwitt.com"
calendar:Scheduling:iMIP:Receiving:UseSSL = yes
calendar:Scheduling:iMIP:Receiving:Username = "calendarserver"
calendar:Scheduling:iMIP:Receiving:PollingSeconds = 30
calendar:Scheduling:iMIP:Receiving:Type = "imap"
calendar:Scheduling:iMIP:Receiving:Password = "password"
calendar:Scheduling:iMIP:Receiving:Port = 993
calendar:Scheduling:iMIP:AddressPatterns:_array_index:0 = "mailto:.*"
calendar:Scheduling:iMIP:MailGatewayServer = "localhost"
So Add mail to the services being used. Since Calendar is running on the mail server one would assume that it could communicate with it fairly easily.

I am upgrading to Calendar Server 4.0 on NT with more than 9 nodes (or I already have) and my server won't start

I am upgrading to Calendar Server 4.0 on NT with more than 9 nodes
(or I already have) and my server won't start.

The steps are the same whether you have already upgraded or are about to.

Calendar Server 4.0 on the Windows NT platform can only support up to nine
nodes on one server, while 3.51 supported up to 14. If you have a Calendar
Server 3.51 with more than 9 nodes that you want to upgrade to Calendar Server
4.0, Netscape recommends that you migrate the extra nodes to another Calendar
Server 3.51 on another Windows NT system. To accomplish this:
<OL>
<LI>Install Calendar Server on another Windows NT machine and configure it to
use the same directory server as your current Calendar Server.
<LI>Stop and backup your current Calendar Server.
<LI>Individually zip up the node directories you want to move to the new
server. (drive:\unsers\unison\db\Nx
where "x" is the number of the node you want to use.)
<LI>Stop the new Calendar Server.
<LI>Unzip the files into the new Calendar Server in the same place as they
were on the old server.
<LI>Edit the unison.ini
file on the new server to add the nodes you have just migrated.
<LI>Edit the unison.ini
file on the old server to remove the nodes you have moved to the new server.
<LI>Edit the nodes.ini
file on the old server to remove the nodes you just moved and then add them
with the new hostname. Keep in mind that you will only be able to modify the
node network from the old host.
<LI>Run unidbfix -export
on both servers for all nodes.
<LI>Edit the remotenodes.ini
file on both servers to reflect your node topology.
<LI>Run unidbfix -import
to import the changes into the node databases.
<LI>Run unidbfix -c,
then -f,
then -c
again on both servers for all the nodes.
<LI>If you don't get any errors, run uninode -test all
to test if your nodes connections are set properly. If they are not, do not
start either of the servers; instead, fix the errors and try again.
<LI>Start both servers.
<LI>Log in and check to see if you can see people on remote nodes.
<LI>Notify the users on the moved nodes of their new calendar host.
<LI>If you did this in preparation of an upgrade, you can now run the upgrade to
4.0 since both servers contain fewer than 9 nodes.
</OL>

Use Disk Utility whihc is in the Utilities Folder.
Select your Boot Disk on the left.
Select Verify Permissions
If any errors the do Reapir permissions.
You might have to repeat the process.

How do I add Holidays to my Calendar Server?

How do I add Holidays to my Calendar Server?

Adding Holidays to your Calendar Server is done via the Netscape
Calendar Client by going to the Edit|Holidays pull-down menu.
This option can only be accessed by those users who have been given
the admin rights to add holidays.
If you wanted to give "John Smith" admin rights to add holidays on
a Calendar Server with a node id of 10000, you would do the
following:
o Login as 'root' or 'unison' to your Calendar Server.
o Change directories to /users/unison/bin.
o Run the command:
uniadmrights -e "S=Smith/G=Bob" -hday -n 10000
Now the user John Smith can add/delete/modify holidays on the
Calendar Server.

Include birthday in your contacts using the Contacts app. Then in Calendar go to the list of calendars (touch the red Calendars at the mid bottom of the screen), scroll down until you find the Birthday calendar, and touch it so that it has a tick mark beside it. Not only will the birthday show up every year, it will even tell you how old they are!

Calendar Server 3.5: Problem using user's ID with uniuser -mod command

When there are two users who have the same Common Name (CN) in LDAP but
different User ID's (uid
field), I have a problem using the uid
field as an argument to
uniuser -mod in Netscape Calendar
Server (NCS) 3.5. For example, there may be two users, User1 and User2, who
both have the CN "John Smith." 

User1
uid: jsmith2
sn: Smith
givenname: John
nscalxitemid: 10001:00314
User2
uid: jsmith
sn: Smith
givenname: John
nscalxitemid: 10001:00213

Let's say I want to change the value for nsCalOrgUnit2
for User1 to "jsmith." In NCS 4.0,
I can specify the uid as
an argument to uniuser -mod
. However, in NCS 3.5, if I specify the
uid as an argument to
uniuser -mod, the entry
for the user does not get changed. 

Calendar Server 4.0 

%uniuser -mod "ID=00314" -m "OU2=jsmith/OU3=People" -n 10001
 
uniuser: modified "Smith, John" 

(The LDAP entry for User1 also reflects this change.)

Calendar Server 3.5 

%uniuser -mod "ID=00314" "OU2=jsmith/OU3=People" 10001
 
uniuser: no need to modify "Smith,John" 

(The LDAP entry for User1 does not reflect the change.) 

%uniuser -mod "S=Smith/G=John/ID=00314" "OU2=jsmith/OU3=People"
10001 
uniuser: no need to modify "Smith,John" 

(The LDAP entry for User1 does not reflect the change.) 

If I use the command uniuser -mod "S=Smith/G=John"
"OU2=jsmith/OU3=People" 10001
in NCS 3.5, the script will change the entry of the first "John Smith" in the
database and will cause the LDAP entry for this user to be updated as well.
However, the entry modified may or may not be the correct one. So, in
NCS 3.5, is there a way to specify a particular uid
to ensure that the correct LDAP entry
is modified?

To modify a user's information using the uid
field in Calendar Server 3.5, change
the user.ini file. The
following steps show how to change a user's information by modifying the
.ini file: 

<OL>
<LI>Open the user.ini
file, which is in the path /users/unison/misc/user.ini

<LI>Add a section containing the desired changes. For example, 

[Test] 
OU2 = jsmith 
OU3 = People 

<LI>Run uniuser with
the following options: 

% uniuser -mod "ID=00314" -s Test 10001
</OL>

It turns out to be a problem with the user Keychain. It has some weird entry that was sending the wrong password. I delete all entries to the server and that corrected the problem

How do I create a Public Group on the Calendar Server?

How do I create a Public Group on the Calendar Server?

Anyone can create Private Groups or Member Only Groups. You must be given
administrative rights to create Public Groups on the Calendar Server. The
Calendar Server Admin (SYSOP) can give anyone rights to create Public Groups by
using the uniadmrights tool.

Go to /users/unison/bin/
and run the uniadmrights
tool. Some sample syntax:

To list all users with administrative rights:
% uniadmrights -ls -host yourhostname

To give John Smith, a user on node 10000, rights to administer Public Groups:
% uniadmrights -e "S=Smith/G=John" -add -pgrp -n 10000

In Calendar Server 4.0, you also have the option of using the Admin Server GUI
to assign Administrative
rights (instead of using the command-line method) by going to User Management,
Administration Rights.

With the proper administrative rights, log into the Calendar Client. Go to Options,
Manage Groups to create a new group. Choose PUBLIC from the dropdown window,
add your users and/or resources and click OK to create the Public Group which
can be seen by all users on the local Calendar Server.

The following is info that I found in another post that I have been trying to follow.

Re: Configure DNS - OS X Server Next Steps
Feb 13, 2011 6:36 AM (in response to Jimbooooooo)
You're setting up internal DNS services, you referenced your ISP DNS servers and you should not have, and now those servers have no translations for your hosts. This is a common misconfiguration.
See [configuring DNS on Mac OS X Server|http://labs.hoffmanlabs.com/node/1436] for how to set up your internal DNS server.
And if there are any references to your ISP DNS servers here (within your client settings, within your server settings, your Airport settings, etc), then you're usually going to have DNS and connectivity problems. You're running a server now, so you'll be running your own services, and (particularly because of NAT here) referencing only your own DNS server(s).
You may be setting up external DNS (if and when you need that), but that should happen after you set up your internal DNS. The above article has a link to setting up external DNS, when you get around to that, if/when you need in-bound connections into your LAN.

Contacts and Calendar Server, Pointless?

Hello!
MLS N00B here, not really much experience with ML Server. Only had it a few weeks, and the new Profile Managaer instead of WGM thing really messed me around, seems unstable and a little too new.
Anyway. Todays discussion comes in the shape of Contacts and Calendar server. What are they actually for?
Profile Manager pushed a payload to all users (by default) so they know where the calendar and contacts server is. This seems to be a side effect of activating the services in the Server app. However, the client computers don't actually seem to use them in any way.
No contacts, not even the Directory contacts (searching via directory is enabled) are visible in the Contacts app. Nothing 'network' based in calendars either.
Group calendars are also a mystery to me.
My question is. Where would you create a 'Group' based contact list, or a 'Group' specific calendar? and make them available automagically (using PM) to all users within that group?
I've tried creating Wiki specific calendars and assigning the correct groups and permissions, but I can't see how I'd get them in to iCal. I've even tried adding extra iCal payloads to the groups in PM and using the URL field - still nothing.
Any help is welcome, thanks guys

The 'server' Contacts and Calendars services in OS X server don't work the way you would expect — like the functionality you would see on a server app like Microsoft Exchange. That is that various users can have shared resources and/or you have server owned resources that you then make available to users/groups with individual, fine-grained permissions.
You can have 'shared' server Contacts & Calendars in OS X Server but what you have to do is setup a (dedicated) user account on which you then create various calendars and address book(s). Then in the Calendar & Contacts apps on OS X and iOS you make accounts on the clients and use that pseudo account on the server as the account — not each individual users' account on the server. So each (real) user 'shares' the pseudo user's account with, obviously, full read-write access.
It ain't beautiful... but it works.

How to best set up a mail and calendar server for a church

I am the IT guy for a smaller church of 200 regular attendees. We want to start hosting our own mail and calendar server. We bought a mac mini and installed mac os x server. So far I have enabled the mail, calendar, and contacts sections of the server but we aren't live quite yet (domain is not pointed at the server yet). My question is, I do not know much about profile manager or open directory, would those benefit me at all? I do not wish to manage devices, I just want to make the most use out of the computer as a mail server primarily. I have found some limitations on users and groups where I wish I could do more (such as creating mailing lists that include e-mails that are not hosted from within the server without creating a user that forwards to personal e-mail for every person).
Would open directory and/or profile manager add more functionality to the computer as a mail server?
Thank you

@camelot
What is it exactly open directory will give me that I cannot do with the regular software in this regard? I am not sure what you mean by a signle shared mailbox and calendar.
@cpragman
Google apps for business was something I was looking into at one point but decided not to use it. Once we grow more I can see us moving over to it but with just maybe 5 people tops having a real e-mail address it seems a little overkill. (I apologize, I omitted that from my original question, i only put in the number of attendees)
@Lincdavis
Fortunately I don't care about whether they can create it themselves or not . And your comment about creating a sharing-only user. Do you mean for every external e-mail I want in a mailing list, I need to create a user for them (with services disabled) and then change mail options to forward to their personal e-mail?
Then go back to groups, create a group that can be e-mailed, and add those users to it?
Thanks

Sun Java System Calendar Server 2005q1 configuration issue

Calendar Server - Unable to add users

When I try to add users to a node I get an error message like:
Working please wait...
unidsattach failed, see /users/unison/log/unidsattach.log, Error Code =
0x13205
Add user [uid=ttesting,o=Airius.com] to node: failed
Add user(s) to node completed.

This means that the Calendar Server is unable to communicate
properly with the Directory Server. There are some Calendar-specific
entries and an ACI that are added to the Directory Server when a node is
created. These are critical to the proper functioning of the Calendar
Server. This error may mean that they are missing.

You can also check the access log file of the Directory server to see what
the problem may be. If you see entries like:
[27/Jan/1999:07:39:47 -0500] conn=1 op=2 SRCH base="o=Airius.com" scope=2 filter="(nsc
alxitemid=15000:00001)"
[27/Jan/1999:07:39:47 -0500] conn=1 op=2 RESULT err=0 tag=101 nentries=0
This indicates that 0 entries were returned for the search on the SYSOP
Calendar user.

If you have recently imported data into your Directory Server, it is likely
that these entries no longer exist. An import to a Directory Server does
not append data; it replaces the current directory with the data in the
LDIF file being loaded. You will need to recreate this Calendar information.
Export your directory to an LDIF file and review the output to see if these
entries exist.

Here is a boilerplate that may be useful if you don't have a backup copy
of the original LDIF. Try replacing the baseDN (o=Airius.com) and the node
id (15000) to match your Calendar configuration. The password is "password".
The following is for illustration purposes and may not fix all problems:
aci: (target ="ldap:///o=Airius.com")(targetattr = "*")(version 3.0

Calendar Server/Convergence Issues

Hi,
I recently managed to install Comm Suite 7 on Solaris x86_64 under a sparse zone; I'm really new to this.
Calendar Server (CALDAV) 7u1 (7.1-1.11)
Convergence 2 (2.0-0.06)
running glassfish 2.2.1 (open source edition)
Within convergence I have 2 issues:
- Users can't click the 'New Event' button under the calendar view. Nothing appears, however if you navigate away from the page the browser warns that there are x forms left open for the x amount I clicked the new event button. Log files are not really telling me much
This issue only occurs on the default user calendar. When users create a new calendar and click the new event button, it works as expected.
- Not all timezones are listed; I lack all the European ones although that are present in the timezoneids.txt file under the deployment
Anyone encountered this or could point our where to start looking? I've been poring over the massive documentation set on the wiki and following some troubleshooting guides but nothing really came out.

Update:
This issue seems to be really down to timezones; I moved the file aside and created a new one just containing the one I want (Europe/Paris).
After that I switched all timezones (column wcaptzid) in the DB table CalProp to Europe/Paris and the convergence calendar behaves 'normal'
Still would be very interested in finding out how to look further into this and if possible work with more timezones than Europe/Paris :)
