How to set up group calendar

Hi - I have set up a server on my mac pro. I have everything configured between the server and the clients, and the calendars are able to invite / respond to calendar events from others. What I am wondering about, however, is how to create a common shared group calendar where everyone sees everything that everyone does on the group calendar. I.e. not just events 'shared' or invited to...
Thanks,
Gareth

"currently there is no shared group calendar support."
Well, not really. You hinted at it with: "set up a group wiki."
Go into Workgroup Manager and set up an Open Directory group. Add people to it.
Each client must then go into iCal --> Preferences --> Accounts and add an account. The name and password entered must be the same as that added to the group, Kerberos must be unchecked, and the account URL will be like (fill in the blanks properly):
http://<your domain name here>:8008/principals/groups/<your group name here>/
Now each properly logged in user of that group can make changes to the shared group calendar, without any "hacks" like making dummy users and delegation.
However, I am getting a notifier: "Request Error: Accesss to <event name> in <your group name here> in account <your group name here> is not permitted." But that seems to be a lie, since multiple members of the group can make changes and others can see the changes.
Oh yea, make sure you have a functioning DNS with valid reverse lookup.

  • How to create a group calendar?

    Hello,
    i am sorry but this is one more question on wiki-group-calendars.
    *In short:*
    I am not able to create a group calendar with the wiki frontend. the calendar that is created with a wiki is owned by the admin of the wiki. So it is always a personal calendar that cannot be shared in iCal.
    LONG:
    I want to create a group calendar that is viewed and edited through iCal.app and the web service. Apple´s "wiki deployment" guide says on page 57:
    +"The web calendar allows you to easily schedule events for yourself or your group. ...+
    +There are *two types of web calendars: personal and group*. You can send and receive event invitations through the personal calendar but not through the group calendar. Also, *while anyone in a group can create or edit events in a group calendar*, you can edit only events in your own personal calendar or event invitations you send to other people.+
    +The web calendar uses iCal Server to store events and invitations. ..."+
    But there is not mentioned how to create a group calendar. The calendar created with the wiki web-frontend belongs to the admin of that particular wiki. This is why the calendar data ist stored in folder named with the UUID of the wiki admin. Also the alias "http://server.fqdn:8008/principals/groups/mygroupname/" which i provided in iCal turns into ..._uids_UUID-of-the-wiki-admin and only the wiki-admin can access this calendar in iCal.app.
    My research on this topic reveals that there were in issue that should be resolved in 10.6.4 (that is running on our Server). So, again, how to create a group calendar?
    Thanks, Philipp.

    fyi none of my groups were available unless i logged into the wiki as the Directory Admin not Server Admin
    migrated from 10.5.7 to 10.6

    Could you be more specific farmer tan, please?
    You said "you need to go to the wiki page and add the wiki's there...." What is the "wiki page" you mention? Is that some place I go to via the browser or the Server Admin tool?
    I went to http://ical.mysite.com/ical/ and logged in as the Directory Administrator but didn't see anything resembling what you described.
    Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

  • How do I access group calendars on 10.8 server from a calendar client?

    Hi,
    I have a brand new installation of 10.8.2 . I installed the server app and started Calendar, Contacts, DNS, File Sharing, Mail, Open Directory and the Wiki services. I created a group with some users in it. I also created a group wiki and enabled the calendar for that wiki. The user group has r/w access to the wiki. The web interface to the wiki works from a client 10.8.2 client system. I can edit the group calendar through the web interface. I created an account in the Calendar application that connects to the server and shows the users' calendar. I altered the server path to /principals/__uids__/wiki-GROUPNAME/.
    The calendar shown is still that for the user and not the one of the group. Hence my question: how do I access group calendars on a 10.8 server from the calendar application on a client?

    Forgot to mention, you can techinically force it to work, but iCal breaks it for some unknow reason, taking it back to the users account after a day or two.  The best work around has been to create a new user, named the group name, and then allow delegates to access the calendar.  This however screws things up with the iphone calendar, as it didn't/doesn't handle delegates.  Again, hoping Apple comes to their senses on this.
    You can still delegated calendars on iOS, but the setup is a little tricky.  You have to add an entirely new calendar account, and enter the full ugly url with the users uuid.  It would be so nice if iOS just supported CalDav delegation.

    How to set security group as primary site collection admin and secondary site collection admin using powershell in sharepoint online site - office 365?

    Hi,
    According to your description, my understanding is that you want to set security group as admin of primary and secondary site collection using PowerShell command in office 365.
    I suggest you can use the command below to set the group to site owner, then it will have the site collection admin permission.

  • How to set up Group Policy without any server installed

    How to set up Group Policy on Win8 without any server installed?
    I have set up 50 users on LAN and want to push softwares via one common point. From google I found to deploy Software using Group Policy. But then Group Policy occurs in Servers and I don't have any server set up.

    Hello,
    a Domain requires at least one Windows server OS machine which has Active Directory installed.
    As previous already mentioned from SenneVL this also requires that computers are added to the domain and that you create user accounts in Active Directory users and computers which stores the account information in the Active directory database.
    In your case with single computers each machine has its own database(SAM) which stores passwords etc. this is different in a domain.
    Each computer has a local policy which will be overwritten from centrally managed policies from the domain.
    "The common point would be my PC (Admin PC) ."
    This machine can not be used for your needs with software installation for 50 computers.
    "How To Use the Group Policy Editor to Manage Local Computer Policy."
    This is about the local machine and you cannot manage them for other computers from your Admin PC.
    "DOMAIN part: By default Microsoft takes everyone on Workgroup. Is that not a default DOMAIN? or should I make one lets say "ABC" on every PC ?"
    NO, this is NOT a domain.

    There isn't anything in contacts that has "create a group" .  That's why this is so frustrating.  I've tried creating a new contact and dragging names into it - doesn't work.  I can't find anything that helps!!!  What am I missing?

  • How to set default group in EXS24 patch?

    Hi,
    This question is about the EXS24 sampler in MainStage 3.   I'm in no way an EXS24 expert, so I'm hoping this is an easy one - I can't find it in the manual anywhere though.  I'm working with some EXS24 patches that have been supplied to me for a live project, reproducing the recorded version using those patches.  They are set up with keyswitches to select sample groups to allow the use of different articulations.  The question I have is how to set the default group - so that every time the patch loads (for example) it selects the legato articulation group, instead of defaulting to staccato as it does at present.  I've thought about scripting MainStage to send the keyswitch on load of the patch but that seems like a lot of effort to fix something that surely must be an easy fix I'm missing.  From what I can tell, the last group defined is the one that loads automatically - but I can't find any way of changing the order of the groups - I can sort the view, but that makes no difference to the behaviour.

    Hello Gaurav,
    If I understood correctly, Your requirement is to update People Group segments based on employee category.
    Basically you need to update people group values based on employee category before insert into assignment table.
    You can acheive this using Dynamic Trigger on Assignment Table.
    you need to change the new.people_group_id along with other segment values in this trigger logic.

  • How to set radio group default value

    Hi,
    I have a radio group in a portal form. How do I set one of them as checked when the form comes up?
    Thanks;

    It might be possible with javascript. since a radio group is an array, you should loop
    through the index to set the correct
    checked value.

  • How to set a shared calendar 'read only' for SOME users in ML server

    I am setting up Mountain Lion Server and wish to set up a series of calendars to be used by a studio of approx 20 people - two calendars will show the kind of thing I'm trying to achieve.
    Calendar A shows appointments and meetings - it can be viewd and edited by all
    Calendar B shows who is taking leave and when - it can be viewed by all, but edited by only a small group of people
    What is the best way to set this up? On The earlier version of the server we had set up calendars on the server and delegated - this is not possible on Mountain Lion Server.

    I don't think you can do this strictly by personalization since you need to use SPEL, unless the attribute you will be using for the display to control readonly is already present in the VO. Basically you need to check a value, say Supplier, and have another attribute say readOnly, tthat is set to TRUE if the supplier equals your desired supplier and FALSE for all other suppliers.

  • How to set time in calendar?

    Hi all,
    is possible set time in a calendar component in WVP with JSF1.2?
    i.e '10-12-2007 12:30'.
    any free component that do this?
    thank's in advance!

    No, I store ok and retrieve from DB.
    But in DB I have a datetime field in Mysql and I need to store the data in this way DATE 01-10-07 and time 10:15 pm.
    I need a component to do this. I don't believe that nobody had this situation.
    I need like the swing component JCALENDAR http://www.toedter.com/en/jcalendar/
    in JCAlendar you can set a dateformatpattern like dd/MM/yyyy HH:mm
    how is possible to do this, I think that 2 textfields, one to hours other to minutes is a poor solution.
    Thank's

  • How to set user/group in BIEE11G by the information stored in DB

    Hi,
    I am able to open the below link.
    http://www.varanasisaichand.com/2011/09/external-table-authenticationorder-of.html
    Follow the steps:
    Order of Authentication:
    The Oracle BI Server populates session variables using the initialization blocks in the desired order that are specified by the dependency rules defined in the initialization blocks.
    If the server finds the session variable USER, it performs authentication against an LDAP server or an external database table, depending on the configuration of the initialization block with which the USER variable is associated.
    Authentication against the identity store configured in Oracle WebLogic Server Administration Console occurs first, and if that fails, then initialization block authentication occurs.
    If you configure your external table authentication as in OBIEE 10g when the session variable USER is associated to the initialization block and LDAP server fails to get the respective user then the user's will authenticate(Identify store) over database(table).
    Dont forgot to create Catalog group as we do normally in 10g
    In 11g Analytics - Administration- Security - Manage Catalog groups -- (+) to add new groups and set permissions to the catalog folders w.r.t groups/users.
    Please refer this link you will get more information
