Delegates ical server 2

I recently setup a new iCal Server 2 system using snow leopard server. I created a main calendar for a group of us and added users as delegates. When i use my account to subscribe to the the caldav server on iphone i see my calendars, but there is no option to view the calendars i have access to. Does anyone else know if there is a fix for this?

Sending an invite to a single delegate - iCal Server 10.6

Hi Everyone,
I am trying to figure out whether it is possible to send an event invite to another delegate without alerting or appearing in other delegate's iCal notifications. We are sending these through Open Directory not through Mail.
Cheers,
Sam

Hi, I have had the same problem until I specified external servers, effectively entering the A-record (DNS) of the localhost.
To do this, go to Server Admin --> Web --> Settings --> Wiki and next to external web services hit configure
There I've set the SSL-option like I have set it in Server Admin --> iCal -->Settings, where the setting should be the same as in Web's Wiki settings. There doesn't seem to be any difference between Use and Redirect for me.

Sync ical server delegates to iphone

I've seen many postings about syncing google delegate calendars in Ical to an Iphone, but my situation is with Snow Leopard Server Ical server. We have delegate calendars setup on our server and they display properly on the desktop clients in ICal, but I can't sync the delegates to my IPhone. I tried subscribing to the delegates by using the CalDav URL shown in the "get Info" pane, but always get an "incorrect URL" error. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks for that advice. Curious though - is what I'm asking even possible? It seems like it should be. Can iTunes bring over the CalDav info the same way it did with my email accounts when I first got my phone. It's just strange that iTunes sees the CalDav calendars, but nothing comes over.
I have to set up several iOS devices so not having to do this manually would be ideal, but if I have to...

ICal Server, iPhone, Delegates (or lack there of) & Alerts

I have set up iCal Server, with a company-wide calendar, with all employees added as delegates. When I add an employee's CalDAV account on their 3.0 iPhone, they don't see the company-wide calendar, because iPhone 3.0 doesn't support delegates. But then when I set the company-wide iCal CalDAV on the iPhone, and set an alert, obviously every iPhone in the company receives the alert. Even when I turn off "New Alert Notices" in the iPhone settings, the iPhones still receive the alerts. I would like to avoid every iPhone in the company from receiving every alert, yet be able to view and add events to the company-wide calendar.
Any ideas?

This doesn't answer your question but there is a way to make delegates work on the iPhone. If you are setup as a delegate of someone's calendars you can trick the iPhone into giving you full access to that calendar. For each delegate you need a separate CalDAV account setup in the iPhone which is a pain but doable for small companies.
Setup the CalDAV account with your server and your login information. Put anything you want for the description but I suggest the name of the calendar user you are gaining access to.
When done, go back into the account details and click Advanced Settings. Click the Account URL and change the end of the URL from: "\yourname" to "\Jane" (in my example, use the short name of the person you're accessing)
When you go back into your list of calendars you will see this new category with the calendars listed.

ICal, iCal Server, Delegates & iPhones

Hi there
Having issues with my works iCal server.
Running 10.6 Server w/ iCal server on.
One user is the scheduler, which does the work schedule.
One user is the reader, which everyone logs onto to view the schedule.
In iCal we use delegates to view them and it works great.
Problem is we can not see the delegates on our iPhones. I wish to know how to do this.
Thx

Check this thread. Still waiting on a fix.

ICal client with iCal server. Bug with delegation of calendars with plenty

Hi,
I have a working setup with an iCal server on OSX 10.5.2 that is also an OD master. I have several users with calendars hosted on the server. Only Mac clients so far. Everything seems to work when managing your own calendars. The problem I see is when I delegate my calendar to another user. None or just a few of the entries show up in the other users view of my calendar.
I experimented a little and found out that it probably has to do with the number of items in the calendar. I have a calendar that contains several years of historic entries and when I start to delete entries everything eventually start to work. My calendar shows up OK in the other users view.
I am not completely sure if it is the number of items in the calendar or if it is some specific entry that cause the problem but I can recreate the problem over and over again if I import the exported calendar, delegate and refresh as the other user.
If I start to edit away entries in the exported iCal file I finally get a working setup.
If somebody at Apple is interested I can provide the exported iCal file and it should be quite easy to recreate the bug.

Reasons why iCal Server can't be my company's calendar server

I want to believe. I don't want to use Exchange. But after testing iCal server and iCal 3 for a few days, I've found it's not going to cut it for us- a 60 person creative agency. Here's why:
-There's no concept of "blocks time". So, let's say I don't want the office to know that I'm going to a job interview, but I do need to block out the time so nobody tries to schedule me to a meeting. In other systems, I can make a private event, and have it block time. In iCal, locally stored events (which are therefore private), are invisible to the network. I can't have my time reserved without announcing why. Sneaky code phrases are possible, but shouldn't be needed.
Similarly, I can't define if an "all day" event keeps me busy or not. I'd be inclined to list a week's vacation as an all day event starting on Monday and ending on Friday. But for co-workers to see that I'm gone in scheduling, I have to list it as an event from 8A on Monday to 5P on Friday.
-There isn't any group support. Perhaps I have a project team of the same 6 people. There's no way to group those 6 under a heading, and check their meeting availability all at once- you can only invite individuals. The Address Panel has 3 of the 4 headings of Directory.app, but no Groups. Every time this project team gets together, I have to add the same people.
I would think I could make a group in Address Book, but that's not working.
-Delegation is all or nothing. I can't delegate that co-workers can see one of my public calendars, but not the other.
-The Availability Panel can't show what events are blocking someone's time. You have to have them turned on in the iCal view to know that.
Please, please tell me there are just things I don't get about iCal3/iCal server, and if I just did things differently, I'd be OK. Is there something I'm missing, or is this really how it works?

Hi - haven`t looked yet at point 1 and 4, but also dislike point 2 and 3. Actually, afaik point 2 (individual delegation) is just a iCal (client) GUI limitation. I think the server would support it.
Group support regarding the client side is more or less there, just not in the new address panel. If you type the group name in the invitee field while editing an event you get the group.
I hope you filed bugreports for that at bugreport.apple.com
OK, here's another one. Window: Address Panel magically changes format for reasons I can't see. When I started this thread, I was in "Open Directory Lookup" mode of Address Panel. When you're here, you're only pulling addresses from OD.
When I returned to playing with iCal this morning, Address Panel was bringing back Address Book entries. When it's this way, yes, you can have a group defined in Address Book, and use that group as a shortcut to invite multiple people.
During the process of experimenting, Address Panel somehow reverted to Open Directory lookups. I'm not clear what controls this behavior.
So, yes, you can use Window: Address Book to pull up AddressBook.app, and drag a group from there into your invitee window. But is there a more integrated way (where leaving iCal isn't required) to invite a local group?

10.9 server ical server

In 10.6 server to create a shared calendar, ie a calenndar that everyone can see and add to, i had to create a calendar user called ical server, which all the real users became a delegate of, people wanting to share the calendar on their iphones or ipads had to use the calendar users user name and password on their iphone or ipad as you cant add a delegate on a ios device, would i have to have the same setup on 10.9 server? i cant find much on google about it, any help would be nice

Delegation has changed to Sharing....
Add the shared calendar as an account on your computer, then right-click the calendar (from list in left pane) and choose Share Calendar. From there, you can enter names. Those individuals will be invited to the shared calendar.

Why is my iCal Server Delegation No Longer Available?

I've recently reformatted a Mac Mini Server that was and is running the latest version of OS X Server. It is hosting a private domain for a local network of just a few client machines, and everyone has their own network user account. Yesterday I logged in to one of the users' accounts to update their iCal server delegation preferences, only to find the following message:
"The server doesn't support delgation for this account."
I know that it had been supported only a day earlier, and the delegates who had previously been set up are still visible in the side bar. Any thoughts?
I'm wondering if it has anything to do with the way I have the accounts set up. With the most recent setup I ran into some confusion regarding where network user accounts should be stored. I chose /Server HD/Users, but I've noticed that Disk Utility reports an unexpected ACL on that folder. Perhaps I shouldn't have configured that folder for network users? And maybe that's what Disk Utility is finding, and then users's aren't able to do certain things properly from their accounts? I've also had trouble emptying another user's trash, and deleting some default server calendar from that same account.
If anyone has thoughts, please let me know. And I'd be happy to provide more information if needed. Thanks in advance.
Peace.

ICal Server Request Error

We have a network of iCal users that were connecting to a 10.5.8 Server with iCal Server and have upgraded to 10.6.4 Server. The clients are still primarily 10.5.8. The DNS was also redone on the network during that change. iCal is authenticating and shows the events as well as list all delegates etc, but when you post a new event from one of the accounts we get the following error:
Request Error
There was a problem writing "New Event" in "Account Calendar" in account {name of the account}
The server responded with
"HTTP/1.1 409 Conflict"

In the Internet Accounts preference pane, delete the BT Internet calendar account. If you don't use the account, that's all you need to do. If you do use it, recreate the account with the same settings.

Setting up ical server

Hi
can anybody give me some advice about ical server and the possible implementation within our company.
1.Can we set up calenders that only certain people can amend eg. we want to set up a calender for holidays but only certain people can alter the details.
2.Can you set up calenders that only certain people can view.
3. Can you stop people from creating calender types on the server
4.Can we access the calenders through our webmail as we use kerio mail server
hope someone can help

1 and 2. Yes. The person setting upp/adding a calendar delegates "permissions" to people from iCal by adding names of people who can either read and write to it or just read it. An "unticked" user can only read.
I think a user neeed to add his own calendar to see the calendars he/she is delegated (?).
3. I don't know. If a user has calender "priviledges" in OD in WGM he/she can create calendars but if they are not delegated only he/she can see it/them. If a user doesn't have calendar "priviledges" I'm not sure but I don't think he/she can use any (CalDAV server) calendar with iCal.
4. I don't know. If using the Wiki server you are supposed to be able to see/use the calendars from a webbrowser. Haven't tried that yet.
We use CommuniGate Pro 5.2.x which now handle CalDAV calendars and you can use the web calendar with iCal interchangeably. Setting up shared calendars in CommuniGate Pro needs quite a bit of tinkering though. If you do the setup/config it's easy for the users. Haven't tried mobile phone sync yet with CommuniGate (Exchange compatible or AirSync?).
You can still use publish and subscribe iCal ≤ 2.x style but to a separate WebDAV share (?). CommuniGate Pro used to (besides MAPI/Exchange/Outlook compatibility through a plug-in - like Kerio does) only support webcalendar "protocol" with no webbrowser integration.
I can't tell you what Kerio can do (yet) when it comes to iCal/CalDAV compatibility/setup/config.
Maybe others can fill in the "blanks"?

ICal Server: logs showing "Too many matching components" errors

Setup:
     MacMini3,1 (Core2Duo) running OS X 10.6.8 Server
Services Enabled:
     AFP
     iCal
     NetBoot
     Open Directory
     Push Notifications
     SMB
     Web
iCal Server:
     About 100 users in OpenDirectory, but the only thing OD is used for is to provide iCal accounts. Our iCal clients are split evenly among native iCal client users, Thunderbird/Lightning users, and those who access via http. One thing that may be worth mentioning is the way we use this calendar: Management has decided that they want one calendar user who gets invited to nearly every **** event that anyone schedules, an "overview" so that everyone can add this user as a read-only delegate, and then they can see what everyone at the company is up to at a glance. So this has created one gigantic iCal account with perhaps 15 events per-day every-day for the last 3 years - and all 100 users have read access to these events.

I am unable to understand this behaviour. The number of users still remain the same and the usage is as usual.
Is there a way I can check what has gone wrong? I could not see any errors also in the alert.log
Please suggest what can be done.

Rajeshredo generation is the result of the activity on the system. You've therefore either started doing much more work - which the business users might well be able to let you know about - or you've started doing you existing workload extremely inefficently, which your business users will probably have noticed. I would start in this case, not with logminer, but with the business and the application - ebusiness suite for example keeps pretty good logs of what activity has happened on the system. Id also be interested in what was changed 3 weeks ago, because something was!

How do I put a newly invited event into my iCal server calendar?

Hi There,
We recently bought a mac-mini server which is running Snow Leopard Server for our office, and we have configured the server (using iCal Server 2) to store everybody's calendars.
Everyone is using iCal to access there calendars off the server and the basics are working ok (sharing etc).
An issue arises when someone attempts to create an event and invite another user in the office, the invitation is sent correctly but when the user receives the invitation and tries to add it to there calendar it is added to there local calendar, not the server calendar.
So my question is how do I make it so any newly added event is put into my server calendar, not one of my local calendars?
thanks for any help.

Bear with me because my system is Italian, but we'll work it out together: iCAL will provide you with myriads of calendars, even those of football team schedules in Oklahoma.
In my system, I go into iCAL, click on the menu at the top "Calendario" ("Calendar" obviously) and study the roll-down menu. I found "Trova iscrizioni" which might simply be something like "find calendars" "find entries". In any case, it is the item at the bottom of the roll-down "Calendar" menu.
Be prepared for a bit of scrolling, unless there is an index I missed.

How to have iCal Server share one or more calendars?

Hello everybody.
I'm really new to iCal Server, and I'd like to be able to create and share one or more calendars for a couple of users. I'm running Mac Mini with OSX SL Server 10.6.5 and have iMacs with the same OS.
Any how-to or such, to read and step-by-step configure the stuff?
I'm already looking at the Apple PDF (from Resources) but I'm stuck where it tells me to create the SRV record: I don't know which fields to fill in with the infos provided.
Any help will be much appreciated!
Thanks,
F.

Yes, it is Flavio.
There are other threads that claim you can disregard the manual in this respect. I tried disregarding it. It'll seem to work. Then within days users will complain of intermittent (1) "calendar not found", (2) "lack of permissions", and (3) "conflicts with client-side versus server-side" errors.
Creating the SRV is essential in this, because it's registering the iCal service with DNS, and DNS is telling the client how to involve the server in the service. To be technically accurate, the server does have a default response when the SRV doesn't exist, so, yes, it will work at times..., but it's hard to explain this to your users when they're asking you about clicking through error dialogs every five minutes. "What do I do here? Should I be worried about this?" You'll be pulling your hair out. I was. Once I had the SRV up, though, the errors have entirely disappeared.
In addition to the things in my last post, having Push Notifications working is also wonderful. Follow the steps in the manual, but basically it involves turning Push on before starting up iCal.
Lastly, there's the question of moving users' old calendars (which are client-based) over to the iCal server (which is server-based): You can't just import-then-export, or you'll find other, nagging errors (basically of type "3", above). As far as I've been able to tell, if the user's calendar contains events where they're not the organizer (and it will), you'll get errors because the user has now assumed an event they don't own. The errors you'll get are basically the server asking, "Who owns this thing? I don't get it."
Sadly, the only way around this is I've found is for the end-user to context-click on each old event and move it to the new calendar. When the calendar options there are ghosted, they'll know they have an event they don't own.
But once you get past this point, it works beautifully. Users get really excited, because they now see the wonderful opportunities they now have. And that makes you feel it was worth it (especially when you think of how much they'd be spending on Exchange).
