"Group" calendars and SSL trouble...

Server: SL 10.6.3
Clients: SL 10.6.3, L 10.5.x
Because we're trying to run Mobile Access Server (MAS), we cannot use Kerberos for calendars on a mobile device like a laptop or iPhone. So SSL it is.
However I find that I have to create the calendar as Kerberos, relaunch iCal, then change it to SSL.
I can't ask my users to do that, especially since sometimes it takes 2 or 3 tries.
Do any of ya'll have any ideas that may help?
Thanks!

Hi,
The web group calendar works with its group. User iCals can interface to a web group calendar and make entries that get uploaded if they are group members, but the user of the web group is the group. In other words they are two different calendars and a specific users calendar is not viewed on the web. The web calendar is not an iCal like application.
Use Directory.app under Utilities to setup Locations and Resources.
For setting up a user to interact with group calendar through iCal take a look at

Group Calendar and different problems

Hey everybody,
tried to work with wiki calendars for a shared group calednar. The basic setup went well, but now i figured out some problems:
The DNS is setup well, and "changeip -checkhostname" works without an error. The client could ping the server with <FQDN> and getting the correct IP address. Server is 10.6.8 as well as on the client 10.6.8.
1.) When creating an event in the shared wiki calendar: the user couldn't invite any person. The inivited person didn't get an invitation. In the shared calendar the user is marked with an "". When creating the event in the personal calendar the inviation is working (see Nr. 2 below) and the user is shown with an "?" and when accepted with an check.
2.) Inviting an other person (within the personal calendar) will showing up the event in iCal with a grey dotted border, but he didn't get a notification in in the list. He could accept or decline by finding the event in the calendar, double click it and hit "accept" in the event window. That's working fine, but he didn't show an message when a person is invited, the event has updated or anything else.
3.) Permissions in the wiki calendar: The user has the permissions to read the wiki, but not to write to it (assigned to it with the Webinterface).
When the user tries to edit or deleting an existing event the following message is shown
When clicking on "Revert to Server" the event is set back to the old data - reverted - that works fine.
But when the user tries to create a new event, he's getting the following message:
when click on "Revert to Server" another message is shown:
Ignoring the message would keep the event in the calendar as well as "Go Offline" but not synced to the server. Even after manual syncing to the server or restarting iCal, he is syncing with the server but keeping that event showing up. After a few days there are so many wrong event the user didn't know what's a correct event on the server, and what's a false event.
That's very wired, because the user might think it's on the server, but it isn't! It's just shown in the local iCal
Could these problems be solved be reconfiguring the server (maybe command line?) or are they "bugs" in the Server?

#1 is not possible from what I gathered through monthhs of digging through forums. Group calendars do not send/receive invites. I even think I saw it in the Wiki Server documentation. Our method here is to send out the invitation from the user.. and then copy to the group calendar. The sending of events can be a tricky one.. Here I use an email gateway because our mailserver is separate from the ical server.
#3 I am uncertain what you say is a problem.. if the user has read-only permissions to that group calendar any modification on his part of the read-only calendar will flag with the above error message.

Group Web Calendar and iCal

I believe there is another posting regarding this, but here is what I'd like to do.
I have a need to keep a calendar through a group site on the web. My need is that I work as a classroom educator and I'd like to post a calendar for my students and parents. But I also use iCal by default - thus keeping it up-to-date on my laptop, desktop and iPhone.
Is there a web to sync the two calendars (group calendar and iCal) so that when I make a change on one that it would update the other?
If there is, I must surely have a setting on the server site incorrect - so some advice on the setting change would be great.
Thanks

Yes, there are a number of posted answers to this on the forum.

I would start narrowing down the problem by removing group members one by one and seeing if there is a particular member which is causing the problem. Then look at that account and see if there is anything different/unusual etc.

Cant see group calendars

So i have setup iCal server in an open directory environment. Its running ok, and i can manage and use individual user calendars, but the group calendars are not showing up in iCal on the client machine im using for testing. In this scenario i have a group called "Staff Members". and i have "wiki and blog" as well as "web calendar" checked in workgroup manager. with "group members only" set as read and write permissions.
If i access the web based calendar i do see the group calendar, and have all abilities i would expect.
The client machine is a bound member of the open directory. in iCal i added the account, and i am given a personal calendar which i can edit and use. but i do not see the group calendar. and if i go into "Delegation" it says i cannot access any accounts.

ICal Group Calendars Repeating Events

Is it really true that group calendars can't have repeating events? If you add an group account in iCal and then take events from the Group calendar and make them repeating they do not show up in the web calendar.
Is Apple telling up that standing weekly or monthly meetings for a workgroup are "a bad thing"?

I have finally got Leopard Server Advanced up and running with Open Directory, iCal Server, Wiki Server and DNS. I haven't tried my luck on anything else because my experience is that once you break something there is no way to fix it other than a clean install!
Now I find that repeating events don't show up in the web calendar? Obviously this product was not ready to be released. I am hoping that after a couple of more point releases, maybe by 10.5.5, this will finally be stable and feature complete.
It has a long way to go before it lives up to its hype. It does have potential though so I am willing to hang in there.

Webcal and webmail where Calendar and Mail use SSL but Web does not

I have Lion Serer 10.7.3 up and running. I have the same SSL cert in use for calendar, address book, and email, but not for web service. Calendar is running great via iCal.app and on iOS.
1. Trying to access the webcal at http://myserver.com/webcal returns a page saying "Calendar service is turned off. You can turn it on by using the Server app on the server." Accessing webcal via https://myserver.com/webcal fails when it redirects for authentication - the resulting page, gives me an apache 404 error that /auth could not be found - the url it is trying to reach is: https://myserver.com/auth?redirect=https://myserver.com/webcal/
There is a bit of a hack for this that I have discovered - I change the url to eliminate the https on the url, but leave it on the redirect:
http://myserver.com/auth?redirect=https://myserver.com/webcal/
I can then authenticate and get into the calendar and it works as expected from there.
2. Trying to access webmail via https://myserver/webmail fails with a page saying "Mail is turned off..." But it all works fine using the non-ssl connection.
If I turn off all certs, then it works fine. If I turn on all certs, it works fine. But turning on SSL for my website is not an option - it's a blog that does not need the extra overhead (and my certs are self-signed, making them look nefarious to most web browsers).
So, I am looking for suggestions on how to obtain access to webcal where the calendar server (and address book server) are using an ssl certificate but the web service is not.
Does anyone have suggestions on how to make this work appropriately, where the webcal and webmail are served on SSL protected connections and the Web Service uses an unencrypted, non-SSL connection?

bump.
Anyone? It seems this question has been asked a couple of different times and in a couple of different ways (including here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/16100639#16100639).
Thanks for your help!

BBM group list and calendars gone

With the recent upgrade to BBM, all of my group lists and calendars appear to have been cleared. The list title still shows, but all entries under the list have been removed. The only items showing in my calendar are what had been added over the weekend. Is there anyway to recover the information that was in my group lists and calendars?

Which upgrade? The one a few days ago, or the one today?
For what it's worth, earlier today I noticed the calendar in one of my groups was empty. Then I upgraded and the calendar is back.
My suggestion is check and see if you have a BBM upgrade available. If so, do it. Either way, if the list is still empty, reboot the device and check again.

Trouble with calendar and events populating phone

I am having a significant amount of trouble with getting my phone to populate my calendar and my events. I have had trouble with this since I got my phone at the end of April and I am getting tired of it. If i put new calendar entries in on my local calender or I sync from my active sync calender, the result is the same - nothing will show. The strange thing is is that the reminders will open up, everything is invisible to me. I've reinstalled the software and have been through the settings on my calender accounts. I am a business person and this is very important to me and I am starting to get frustrated with this.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Ok, I finally figured it out or better I finally got it to work after playing with it. For those who have the same issues I will give you the steps I have taken. It might sound a bit senseless but I didn't know what I was doing might actually make it work.
Anyways, I read somewhere that in order to be able to set a default Calendar in Settings they added a CalDAV account. I didn't have one but I do have a gmail account. Before adding that I tried again turning on and off the iCloud calendar which didn't help.
Then I went to the ical app on the iphone and added a new calendar which I called the same as my main one on the iCloud site (HomeCloud). I rebooted the phone every time I made a change. But didn't help either.
Then I deleted my iCloud account on the iphone reboooted and added it again, rebooted. Now the "Calendars" calendar was not on the iphone anymore but I could see my main HomeCloud, my UK Holiday and the gmail account calendar but nothing was synced.
Last step I tethered the iphone to my imac and synced via iTunes again and voila I could see everything synced correctly. Last thing I had to uncheck the gmail calendar on the iphone because it was set as the default and now the events I put in the iphone sync correctly with the iCloud site and my icals on my machines.
I hope this will help whoever has the same issue.

TS3999 Help! Trouble with my calendar and icloud.

I am having trouble with my calendar and icloud.
Customers send me meeting invites and I can accept them no problem. But if they subsequently change the date or time I get an error message:
Access to “appointment name” in “Home” in account “iCloud” is not permitted.
The server responded:
“403”
to operation CalDAVWriteEntityQueueableOperation
sometimes the time changes in my calendar, sometimes it doesn't, and my customers keep getting messages back from icloud 'accepting' the original date, not the changed date!!
It is driving me an my clients crazy! any help would be appreciated.

I had a problem specific to the Calendar on web-based Firefox (PC) Was asked for a separate sign-in I'd never seen before which didn't work. I resolved this by signing out, signing in again.

Using N79 sync calendar and contact group

Dear all,
I am using N79 to sync contact and calendar to ovi website. But I find that calendar and contact group data cannot sync to ovi website. Is it possible to do it or ovi website still does not support to do it? Thank you

It is possible to use N79 and sync to OVI. I do it all the time and I can sync my contacts, notes and calender. I have had the following observations/problems :
- When syncing you have to log-out - or maybe switch away from the calender before you can see any changes that were made on the phone.
- I had some reoccurring events in my calender (birthdays). For some reason all these were shifted -1 day so a b-day occuring on march 7th would be on the 6th in OVI. I have now removed birthdays from the calender and added them to the contacts instead. Then the b-days should appear on the standby-calender-screen, but I miss an overview of upcoming birthdays.
- It would be nice if you could share your OVI calender with friends or your wife, so you can plan your life together.

Troubles with Outlook calendar and icloud

I just uninstalled icloud from my pc after it messed up Outlook. Now all my existing calendar dates have migrated to the "icloud calendar" and have left the original calendar that I created. How do I get the dates back to the original calendar?

You'll have to copy them from one to the other, or restore your backup file.
