Can connect iCal v2 (Tiger version) to iCal Server

I want to replace our office Meeting Maker server and get everyone using iCal.
However, I seem to have hit a brick wall in that I don't think non-leopard clients can use the server.
Anyone confirm that this is the case.
The documentation for using iCal server is near-useless.
Thanks
David

Licensing-Can I use 10 client version for Web server?

I have a client that is looking to move their web servers from IIS and Windows to OSX server.
My question is, how does the licensing shceme work? Can we use a 10 user version of OSX Server for a web server, or do we need the Unlimited version?
Not 100% familiar with the server side of Mac things, so treat me gently

Hi
The licensing only applies to connected AFP users, so you can use a 10 Client version without any problems.

Can't allocate any users to use iCal Server

Have successfully set up 10.6.1 server. DNS and Open Directory both OK. iCal service is running on default port 8008 and is using the default server dns name.
The problem we're having is that in Workgroup Manager we cannot allocate a user to use iCal. Under the Advanced settings tab for a user where you enable calendaring for the user the pull down menu only shows "No calendar host selected", the configured iCal server is not displayed.
This has occurred on three separate fresh installs on three separate boxes.
Any ideas appreciated!

That doesn't really make any sense. I can connect iCal 10.5.x clients to the iCal 10.6 test server just fine and they pulled down test data. I plugged in account details and connected to the users iCal server calendar account.
Perhaps you misunderstood them? The guy I spoke with told me that you manage almost all calendar data on the wiki/mypage tool now and not in workgroup manager. Users can access their calendar on mypage, groups manage their calendars via the wiki. It may not be ideal (I would have preferred using workgroup manager for this stuff) but it seems to work. You can also manage delegation to your calendar via the iCal client. If something specific for you isn't working, it'd probably be better to open a thread on these forums and post details if a specific feature isn't working so people can help you.
The only feature I really find lacking with this web method of management is that you can't really have a user without that user having a calendar (and having access to that calendar). The SACL only prevents them from connecting via iCal client but they can still connect via the mypage tool.
Also, 10.6 is a new server version and 10.5 had many of these same issues (perhaps more). Either you have this on a test server and you wait it out and just report fixes to Apple or you jumped the gun and installed it on a production server at which point you accepted the risk of a new server OS. Doing so on client systems is one thing (they're easily rolled back), servers is a completely different matter and should be handled with care. Obviously 10.5.x server matured enough for you to want to use it so 10.6 likely will as well so just bide your time on a test server and try to improve the release by reporting bugs or roll back to 10.5 and continue to use it until you're ready to jump to 10.6.
In short, as of now, the "enable calendaring on this host" has nothing to do with whether a user can access iCal services on a 10.6.1 host. If you create a user in workgroup manager, the current behavior is that they now have at a bare minimum, a web calendar. If you enable the SACL for iCal, I believe you can limit access via the iCal client but they'd still have web access. If this behavior is poor (I believe it is and would prefer more fine grained control) then make sure and report it.

How windows client can access iCal directory?

I setup Sunbird on Windows can access iCal server calender event.
How can i in windows access iCal server OD user database?
Because when i in Sunbird add new event and invite attenders seems not function.
I think is Windows haven't bind to OD directory.
How can i solve it?

Hi,
The last time I checked - transactional cache cannot be used from Extend clients. Your best bet would be to use "EntryProcessors"
Hope this helps!
Cheers,
NJActually the best bet would be an Invocable sent via an InvocationService accessing the transactional caches from the proxy.

Cannot connect two computers to the same game server HELP!

I have a Linksys WRT54G Router. I have two computers and I want to be able to use them on the same gaming server. Unfortunately, the game only have one port, so I can only port forward one of my computers. How can I configure my router to have two external IP addresses to the server so it won't kick one of my computers out. Thanks!

Hi,
I am in a gaming community and many members have a Linksys at home (but I don't know which kind exactly). Many of us try to connect two computers to the same server (many have a family). It seems it is a common problem that no one can connect two computers to the same game server.
I have a BEFSR41 V3 Firmware version 1.04.8
I use fixed IP address and no connectivity problem on Internet.
I have win XP SP2 on both computer.
I am using a DSL modem
I can connect the two computers to two different game servers at same time, but not the same server. Default port for this game is the same for all servers I use. I tried with both port forwarding enabled (in that case one PCs can connect the other not) or not (in the second case, whenever the second PC connects, the first one lose his connection to the server, no mater the order I try to connect my PCs).
Now the weird thing is that one member in my community just decided to throw away his Linksys router and he bought another brand (which I won't name to remains politically correct). Now, without changing anything in his PCs or his connection type, he can now play with two PC on the same server.
I am seriously thinking doing the same move. Since more and more game are now using Internet (and servers that controls piracy, $$) and family want to play together, not being able to connect two PCs on the same game server makes Linksys in bad situation from marketing point of view.
For example, in my gaming communtity, we now all know that Linksys can't handle two PC on same server, but other brand can...
Thank you in advance for your help.

Can connect to server, cannot connect through Ical/chat/etc

Hi all I seem to be having trouble with Ical on my mac os x server. Error message as follows.
Connection Failed
There may be a problem with the server or network. Check the settings for account "XXXXX" or try again.
Account "XXXXX" network is unreachable.
The error message I see whenever I attempt to connect to our server via Ical.
I have set through setup through server preferences Ical and the like. I can connect to the server in every other way I have tried, from ping to screen share and via finder. So nothing wrong with the connection.
Things I've tried.
Restarting the entire network.
Reinstalling the server os on the server computer and setting up everything again.
Turned off firewall.
Thanks in advance.

I would recommend the usual basic troubleshooting:
1) Repair Permissions in Disk Utility, then reboot.
If that doesn't work,
2) Re-apply the latest Combo Update in safe mode (boot while holding shift).

I want to search Time Machine for an appointment that has been deleted from my current view of iCal. Can I "restore" a previous version of iCal without losing all the entries I've made to the calendar since that prior date?

I want to search Time Machine for an appointment that has been deleted from my current view of iCal. Can I "restore" a previous version of iCal without losing all the entries I've made to the calendar since that prior date?

No. I tried it on my Time Machine (I had just made one change today, so I knew I would not be left in the lurch if I failed) and when I clicked on restore I got this message:
It seems you have several options. I chose 'Keep Both'. I suggest that you proceed with your search.
Ciao.

IPhones - can they connect remotely to iCal server?

Can I take an iPhone and have it access a server based iCal server? If so how?
Also, if users have remote laptops, OS X Leopard, that are never brought into the office, how can they be set up to access and use the iCal server?
Thanks in advance - Lewis

correct. there's no need to port forward if clients connect via vpn.
you'd configure the remote clients just the same as you would for clients on your LAN, because they'd essentially be on your network over the vpn tunnel anyway. do you mean how would you configure these machines remotely? i'd start by working out a test config, writing up a how-to for your remote users to follow and use screen sharing/ARD if they can't get it to work. test this yourself before rolling out to clients.
that long string in the calendar URL is the user's generated UID in the open directory node. you can use that, which is harder to type, or something like http://calendar.example.com:8008/principals/users/shortname/calendar/
both should work.
for group calendars, you'd use: http://calendar.example.com:8008/principals/groups/name/calendar/

Why Can't iCal Handle an Event in Two Time Zones?

If I'm entering, say, a plane trip I'm taking that takes off in one time zone and lands in another, I can't enter this properly in iCal. Interestingly, if I'm entering this event in my iPhone's version of iCal, it works. That version of iCal has the option for separate time zones on the event's beginning and end. But not on the OSX version of iCal.
It would be great if Apple would fix this. It's an annoying problem. Especially for those of us who travel a lot, it's important to enter items in LOCAL time so when we land our iCal is displaying our events correctly.
This problem has at least one fascinating bug, which is that the trip I'm taking this week from China to the U.S. will not display on my iCal on my desktop at all, because the plane takes off on Friday at 5:00 p.m. (in Shanghai) and lands on Friday at 4:05 p.m. (in Chicago). The flight itself is, of course, 12 hours long, but iCal can't seem to figure out how to display a flight that lands before it takes off, if you're just tracking it in a single time zone.
I know there are workarounds for this, but don't make me do the calculations... Since the iPhone version of iCal can handle this, the desktop version should, too.

I don't know why iMovie is not allowing you to delete parts of clips but there is a workaround. You can split your clips using Quicktime Player then drag and drop the resulting files into your event.
For information this is the only way of deleting parts of clips in iMovie 10.
I'm not sure about the other points

I have problems to connect iCal 6.0 (Mountain Lion) with Exchange Server 2007

I used ICal with Exchange Server 2007 without problems with Lion. After I adopted Mountain it has been impossible to use ICal and I have obliged to use Outlook because It was not possible to connect ICal with Server.
I reinstalled Mountain and rebuilt Outlook data base, canceled cache and so on but without results. How cn I do?

I was having problems with this too. I remember it working okay in iOS 7 and then it breaking in iOS 8.
Fortunately, I'm now on the iOS 8.1 beta, and can confirm it's working fine for me. Just how it used to. - I guess that's one of the bugs that Apple's new software will bust. We'll just have to wait it out.

ICal Server - User can log in from iPhone but not from Desktop Mac

I've got quite the peculiar problem with iCal Server on OS X 10.6.6 - my users can log in and access the shared calendars using their iPhones. When I set up an the same account on their desktop Macs in iCal, I get an error message "The server did not recognize your user name or password for account <username@servername>".
I'm positive that username and password are correct. The only thing I found about that in the log files was that the CalDAV server returns a 201 HTTP status code when accessing the account from the iPhone vs. a 407 status code when using iCal on their desktop Mac. The same accounts are used for Email, File Sharing and Address book, all of which run fine.
Has anyone experienced a similar problem? Maybe even solved it?

Solved it myself - there was a non-ASCII character in the account password. Strange that the iPhone didn't have a problem with that while iCal did. Now that I've changed the password to contain only ASCII characters, the problem is gone.

Can two iCal users edit the same published/shared calendar

Can two iCal users (obviously different mobileMe accounts) edit the same published/shared calendar? I want to have a calendar running which we can both edit remotely but for it to be synced so we both know what each other is doing. Maybe I can share it on my iDisk somehow? I have searched but could not find an answer so I am sorry if this has been covered already !

There is now way to do this using standard MobileMe and iCal. What you could is both share your calendars so that both of you can read each other's calendar.
If you want both to have read-write access to a calendar you will need to use third party software or set up a Google calendar where both of you have read-write access to the calendar.

How can I get the iCal server to work correctly?!

We are a business that uses Apple software and products for everything! For a while we've been having an issue with iCal - it seems when an invite is sent we are unable to accept, we click 'accept' but the message is never sent, so then it looks like we're ignorning the request (which of course can look un professional). We have approached various IT companies and all they seemt o sugegst is using a different Mail Server (such as Kerio, Exchange etc) as a fix, which of course is quite costly, especially when we believe, that iCal should be able to work effectively for a growing business.
We've deleted users from the server, added them back on...the only way they can accept invites is if they keep it on the local calendar, which of course isn't any good to us as we share the calendars, therefore it needs to be on the server.
I'm really hoping there is something someone out there can tell me to help us! I am loosing hope and I am reluctant to fork out for such costly solutions as Kerio when I know iCal server can work. Please help! If you need any further information please let me know.
Thanks

One product that I have used, when there is a poorly formed AVI header is Digital Video Repair (cannot recall if it is freeware, or shareware), BUT it is likely that your file's header was NEVER written, so no amout of "repair" will succeed. Still, might be worth a try?
With many AVI's, the header often comes first, where with some other formats, like MPEG-2 and WMV, the header is the last part of the file. Could be that the header of the AVI is just incorrect, such as with the Duration. Only a test will determine if you can repair the file.
Good luck,

ICal Server - Can't log in with Kerberos?

Hello, I have been struggling the past few days getting ical server properly installed and configured to incorporate into our environment (just installed 10.6 server). I am very new to Kerberos, in fact never heard of it before getting into this, but would like to possibly use it as an authentication option. I have my master open directory installed and running, it says Kerberos is running, ldap as well as password server, all running. I created some test users in the LDAPv3/127.0.0.1 directory with open directory password types. I have opened ticket viewer and assigned tickets to these test users. In my Ical settings in server admin, I have authentication type set to kerberos. When I try to add an account via my ical client on my workstation (also 10.6 just installed), it searches and I get the message:
"Ical found the CALDAV server "servername" but couldn't log in with the user name "username". Make sure the user name and password you entered are correct, then try again"
If I click next and go to the calendar server options screen I select Ical server template, the port changes to 8443 I believe and I change it back to the default of 8008, and click use kerberos v5 for authentication, and uncheck Use SSL as I have that off. I then get the message of:
"Authentication failed. The server does not support Kerberos authentication."
Now, if I go completely backward, and change my iCal server authentication type to Digest, or Any Method, I can log in using any of my local user names and passwords and any open directory password users. This is great because it shows me the system is working, and I can get in, however what I don't quite understand is if I log in with a different/various usernames and passwords, I get a separate calendar for each login. When watching the apple demo video of Ical server here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7bzMTpLv-EE&feature=related , it seems there is one calendar, and multiple users are logging in using different logins, but accessing the same calendar.
So I guess my main questions are, why isn't Kerberos working, and how do I get it to work, am I missing something? And how do I get Ical server to operate the way it is in the video, so people log in with different various logins but are able to see the same "work" calendar as shown in the video.
I appreciate any help/insight. Thank you.

One additional piece of information that I don't know if it is a bug or if anyone else has this problem, but when I am logged in with a user, and access my address panel via my ical client, none of my locations, resources, people, or groups show up, every category is empty. However, if I start to type a search for a location name or user that I know the name of that I have added, THEN it will show up and I can click/select it. Almost behaving completely backwards, any ideas why these are not showing up without using the search??? Thank you again.
