ICal server on a PC... HELP!!!!

Ok iam finally swallowing my pride... I have no idea what Iam doing... I am trying to put our iCal server onto a PC in a remote office - all the mac's in the remote office works fine, however the PC laptop just doesn't.
IAm willing to buy/use any program to run the iCal server... just have no idea which one/where to look.
Many thanks - Adam

Adam,
I've been fighting with this for a bit as well...
I'm well aware that you probably did some/most of the below steps already, but my
step by step would be:
1) Install Lightning
2) open the calendar view
3) right click on the "Home" calendar that gets displayed and select "New calendar"
4) Select "On the network"
5) Select CalDAV
Now for the tricky part, the location: I could only get it to work by using ical server's user id and calendar id, so my locations look like this:
for the first calendar I created it is
https://calendar.server.com:8443/calendars/_uuids_/fff6ff85-ff65-4cbb-ff6c-6ff2f5668c75/calendar
(all in one line, and of course you need to replace calendar.server.com by your server's name)
This one worked flawlessly on the PC.
The second calendar I created looks like this:
https://calendar.server.com:8443/calendars/_uuids_/fff6ff85-ff65-4cbb-ff6c-6ff2f5668c75/812D44BF-1904-4FC2-86B6-11D709B4A90A
but initially I couldn't get this to work at all.
The problem was that I thought I could get the full URL via ical on a Mac by simply right-clicking on the calendar and selecting "Get info". However the URL gets trimmed at the end, so I got only about 15 characters of the second calendar id. I got the real id by going to https://calendar.server.com:8443 in Safari and then going down to /calendars/users/<myuserid>/. If you then click on the different calendar ids listed on top and look for the "displayname" property you can also see the "real name" of the calendar you're looking at, to identify the needed id.
6) enter the location as shown above into the Location field
7) click "Next", you should be asked for a username and password to access the calendar server now. Use the same as for subscribing on the Mac.
8) click "Finish"
9) If you don't get any entries, and don't see any "Checking calendars" activity on the bottom right of the window restart Thunderbird.
This worked for me, hope it helps!

ICal Server Utility...any point?

I've got our calendar server up and running. Its an OD replica from our primary OD master. Workgroup manager shows all my users and groups.
Since we have multiple boardrooms which need to be bookable I am trying to use the iCal Server Utility. To setup locations and resources, I had to authenticate using my OD admin password instead of my admin user account which I though was weird. And obviously had to change the authentication to password instead of kerberos in the preferences.
So I have my 3 boardrooms setup in the iCal server utility, so now what do I do to book a boardroom?The ical server admin .pdf isn't exactly clear.
On my laptop I have my ical account all setup and seems to be working fine. I can invite people and even groups which is great. But how do I book the boardroom? It certainly isn't listed in invitees when I try to type in 'boardroom' nothing auto completes.
I have also added our video camera as a bookable resource but this also doesn't show up under invitees?
Documentation is light on the ground and the built in 'ical server utility' is no help either. Anyone have any experience?

New problem. I see the the Locations created previously on both the Replica and the OD Master using the iCal Server Utility. But I can't add the permissions using:
sudo calendarservermanageprincipals --add-write-proxy groups:groupname locations:mediaroomdownstairs
I get
Invalid principal ID: locations:mediaroomdownstairs
So I thought I would just delete both locations and try it again. But I get Permission Denied error in the iCal Server Utility. Tried it on both the OD Replica running the iCal server and on the OD Master since I have to authenticate as the diradmin I thought it might stored on there.
So then using the tips listed here:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=10403050
Opened up Workgroup Manager and in Preferences I turned on 'Show all records', and went to the 'bullseye' tab. From the drop down I can see my Resource (Video Camera) that I added in iCal Server Utility this morning but under Places there are no listings of the two meeting rooms. I tried this on both the OD Master and the Replica running the iCal server.
So that explains why I get the invalid principals. But the question is, how do I either delete the old records when I can't find them on either server, or modify them to allow read and write proxies.
Please help as its driving me crazy.

ICal Server setup help !!!

Hello All,
I would like to share my experience with setting up the iCal server and all the hick ups I had to get it finally working. At least what worked for me. Check the basics before you start.
This is all done from after installing the server in Advanced setup or so to say normal installation as it was under Tiger. I'm trying to summarize what I have done. It took me a lot of hours do. So if I mis something feel free to reply with the missing things. Maybe together we can setup a working manual for all others that have problems with the setup and lack documentation from Apple.
1) Make sure your DNS is setup properly and working. Test it with:
type: “named-checkconf” in de root account of the terminal. Nothing should happen thats OK
type: “named-checkzone” in de root account of the terminal make sure you use the complete path and bare in mind that Apple changed the DNS setup again pointing to something like var/named/zones/db.example.come.zone.apple. The serial of the DNS should load and you should receive a OK. Make sure that your server IP is also mentioned in the system preferences/network DNS so you can use for example the server.example.com in server admin.
2) Either use SSL or don't when you want to use, use it everywhere otherwise it something will slip trough and want work. Without SSL it appears to work easier in the setup from local iCal client to server. But SSL is of course more secure. I want talk about Kerberos because I'm not able to get that to work yet.
3) Make sure you set it up from an "Open directory", "Local directory" should/could work to but I haven't test that yet and I seriously doubt it would work properly.
That being said I now can share my setup with you (switch your firewall of during setup it's easier to troubleshoot, switch it on again if everything works. If it stops working after the firewall is on again, well you know where to look for the problem :-)):
1) After setting up the Open Directory Master I switched on SSL and created a own certificate for my server. I didn't protected the certificate with a password as it gives a lot of extra problems with setting things it up. You can than select the certificate under Server Admin/Open Directory click on setting and click the tab LDAP. There you can select it.
2) Make sure your webserver is running and you have a working website where you can go to. Under Server Admin make sure that under the selection Sites that your FQDN is filled out. Being something like www.example.com and not example.com. The second one could cause iCal web part to not work accordingly at least that is my experience. After that choose security and make sure SSL is on and your certificate is selected. The rest of the website settings is pretty basic I didn't changed to much. I do know that I switched on some extra modules. Being bonjour_module, authzsvnmodule, davsvnmodule. This prevented further in the installation the 210 error when I went to the Calendar under my webbrowser. I wouldn't know which of the 3 is doing the trick I only know that after this it worked for me.
3) Pffffff OK go to the iCal Server settings under the Server Admin. The settings are straight forward but again make sure SSL is on and your certificate is selected. And look at your host name which should be someting like server.example.com. If you are not able to get DNS setup properly you could try your machines example.local name. But that again could give troubles when you want to use local iCal client outside the door on a laptop for example.
These where all the server admin setting. Now go to the Workgroup Manager and selected the group/groups you want to have Calendaring switched on and choose the way people are able to logon. This you can do by going to the group select the default website and services you want to give. Then select under Allow the way people can logon to this website or iCal services.
When that's done you should have everything up and running on the server site. So now go to a local iCal client and go to preferences/accounts/server setting. Click the + on the left bottom site and fill out a name and password leave the server option for now to auto. This way and when everything is setup properly you should get something like https://server.example.com:8443/principals/_uids_/14A0DD22-86CA-4F55-96D9-9CB461640D52/. The end number should refer to your name and password account so the number want be the same as in this example. Well if it works you are one of the lucky people and you are able to setup a shared Calendar from there. It would help a lot if you have more than one machine to test. Because it didn't worked on my MacBook Pro getting a famous error "iCal unexpected secure name resolution" But it did worked on my wifes iMac. So the server settings are OK. Now the good part when it's not working is that you can go to your webbrowser and type or copy the following: https://www.example.com:8443/principals/users/shortname (naturally use your own server name and user name). There you can see details of the principals settings. Including youre uids number. This number is unique for your name and password. Copy this number. Then go back to iCal switch of the auto find in iCal client under preferences/accounts/server settings. The first part of the link is https://server.example.com:8443/principals/uids/(Now paste you number here). Hit enter and see what happens. It the name server is not working for you than use for example iso server the name mail if you have it setup in the DNS is should work. It did worked for me and it gave me a nice shared calendar which you can name for yourself. Every group member should be able to see this agenda once hooked up to it via iCal client and prefences/accounts/server settings.
If you go to your website or www.example.com/groups you should see youre shared group. Sorry I only tried it with one group sofar. If you make changes to the calendar from the webbrowser it will show up after a refresh in your iCal client and visa versa. The only thing I still have problems with is the events for more days. They show up on the web as events but when I click them they produce a unwanted error. But when it's based on a single day than it work perfectly.
Hopefully you have a working iCal server to now. If you find something interesting or you think I left some important things out. Please reply and fill out the blanks.
I just hope that it will save some time for the new once setting this up.

Thank you for sharing your experiences. I am looking at setting up an iCal server myself for our business. However, our situation is a bit different. Could you also share what kind of workgroup you set it up for? And maybe help me answer a few questions below. Thanks in advance!
First a little background. We are a small management company. We have individual clients that we manage. We need to have access to their calendars to schedule events, etc. The thing is that we would be the only ones looking at everyone else's calendars at once so that we can coordinate our own schedules so that we can be where it is most important but still not lose track of other activities.
1. What kind of machine are you running the iCal Server on? Xserve? MacPro?
2. Is it possible to view multiple users' calendars within a single calendar view?
3. Does setting up this kind of calendar server sound like the setup for our situation where only we, the management, will be able to view all calendars?
4. How difficult will this set up be on our clients and their machines since we have little control over their personal machines? (The majority of our clients are all Mac users. There may be one PC user.)

Need urgent Help for setting up iCal Server

I will move the iCal portion here, maybe I will get some help.
Okay first my setup:
Two XServe with the latest 10.5 (one is the backup)
Six Mac Pros with Leopard
Three Macbook Pros with Snow Leopard
All Macs are on an Windows 2003 Active Directory network. Also we have our accounts locally (on each workstation and laptop).
*So I have installed the advanced settings for the Server OS.
*Created a account for every user on the server
*The FTP, Web (for the local webpage), Open Directory and iCal services are on. (iCal would only activate with Open Directory service??)
*The iCal server destination (for the calendars) are on a separate drive with +Ignore Permissions+
Still can not link a account through iCal with the server!
Could somebody give me a walkthrough how to setup the iCal server?
Oh yeah another issue I had I can't get the calendaring checkbox in the user account to stick! Is this just a bug?

Hi Umesh,
I would not use the repository on a database that was cloned. In my experience this leads to problems.
A better way is to clone the database and then create a new repository on the clone:
1. export the repository on the windows server to an mdl file
2. unregister all target users on solaris
3. drop the repository on solarais
4. create a new repository on solaris
5. Import the data from the mdl file you exported in step 1
6. register target users
7. configure and register the locations
This way requires some manual work, but I do not see another way.
Regards,
Carsten.

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).

ICal server will not work

I am running a small network on a MacPro running OS X server 10.5.4 with 2 mac clients and 2 windows clients. The OS X server was installed by an apple specialist but it is still not working properly and I find it hard to believe that it is a bug is the software as it seems to be a fundamental problem which most people would have encountered.
Each user has their home directories stored on a separate drive on the server and iCal server is running. However, when a Mac client logs into the network they iCal does not work properly. It either will not show any calendars or if it does then a new event cannot be entered.
Below is an extract from the client message log from rebooting the machine. The first problems with iCal seem to occur at 1:20:48:

Once loaded iCal does not respond and a "force quit" is the only option.
I have looked at the logs in Server Admin and I can't seem to see any problems at about the same time.
I would be grateful if someone could let me know whether this is a bug with the software or whether there is a solution. For the time being, the mac users are having to use portable home directories in order to allow them to use iCal.
<Edited by Moderator>

Hi
I've not long ago spotted it. It is a longish log. I would sort out that problem anyway because it can't be good for that user.
What needs to happen is a sampling of a the log server side when the problems occur for the clients. It would be a good idea if you posted a little more about how the server is configured. Are you using Server Preferences to administer the Server by any chance? What is the result of issuing this command from terminal:
sudo changeip -checkhostname
Post the result. Did the apple engineer configure internal DNS & DHCP Services to accommodate the web and ical services? Is the web service running? Are you using virtual domains? Are the client macs using the Server to resolve DNS?
As you can see lots of questions. If you are using Server Preferences then I'm going to have to stop trying to assist you. Please don't think there is anything wrong with your server because you are using the application, because there is not. Neither is there anything wrong with the choices made by the original guy. It's just I don't deal with anything other than Advanced. I have little knowledge of Server Preferences. Please don't be tempted to 'convert' to Advanced thinking it may 'improve' matters. It's just as likely it will make things worse.
Consider getting the original guy back in and having him do it for you again. Who knows you may find things will go a lot smoother this time?

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,

How do I create a group calendar in iCal Server 3?

Hello everyone,
I have set up a Mac Mini server to address the calendaring needs of my company. I have also turned on the iCal service using the Server app in the Lion OS. While the shared calendaring functions for individual users of iCal are great, my company is in need of general office calendar for postings of things like vacation times, company holidays, special conferences, etc. Is there a way to configure the Mac Mini server to allow the setup of such a calendar?
Maximus. Prime

Okay, with everyone's help, I believe I have found a resolution to this issue. I am very grateful to everyone who has contributed this discussion. Your help has been invaluable.
1. The first thing I did was to ensure that the iCal and Wiki servers were both running.
2. Next, I created a user whose sole purpose was to create wikis on the server. (In retrospect, I probably didn't have to do this, as any administrative account, which is what I have, can also make wikis).
3. I then created a wiki. To do this open up your Web browser and enter in the name of your server followed by "/wiki" (no quotes). An example of this is servername.local/wiki. (If you are unsure as to whether or not DNS on your local network is working, you can enter the IP address of the server followed by /wiki).
4. Next login into the wiki by clicking on the lock icon in the toolbar. (You can use the account you created earlier or any admin account on the iCal server for login).
5. Click the Wikis button.
6. Click the plus sign in the toolbar, then click New Wiki.
7. Enter a name and optional description. It is much better to enter a short name with no spaces. This will matter in a later step.
8. Next you will see the Set Wiki Access dialog box. Here is where you can enter users of the wiki (calendar), and their permissions (i.e. Owner, Read-Write, etc.).
9. When done with the previous step, click create, and you should be taken to the "welcome" page of your wiki.
10. Click the gear icon in the toolbar then select settings.
11. Select Services in the sidebar, put a check into the Calendar box, and select Save.
12. You should now see a link for Calendar underneath your toolbar. Select it, then select Settings to adjust your timezone settings, etc.
13. You can log out of the wiki at this point.
14. Go to one of the users who was given access to the wiki in step 8.
15. Open iCal -- Preferences then select the Accounts tab.
**Now here is where things get "tricky."**
16. It is likely that this user has a functioning account on your iCal server. If you go to the Server Settings tab of the account and check the Server Path, you will see an entry similar to /principals/__uids__/longstringofalphanumericcaharacters/.
17. Replace the long string of alphanumeric characters with "wiki-wikiname" (no quotes). The wikiname is the name you entered in step 7.
18. Close the iCal preferences box, and close iCal.
19. The user may be prompted to re-enter his/her password. Do so, and afterward you should be have access to the wiki-based group calendar.
UH OH...what about the user's normal account?!?!?!
20. Go back into the account preferences tab of iCal and re-add the user's normal iCal account with his/her normal credentials. All of the user's calendar information should return because it is on the server and backed up regularly...right?
This solution appears to be working for me so far. I have verified that users who can only read from the wiki calendar do not have the ability to edit the calendar. Of course, those who can edit the calendar are able to do. These test users are also able to use their normal iCal accounts without any issues.

Ical server/client suddenly stopped working together

Hi
I have 10.6.1 server with a group calendar served on a wiki. There are multiple users using 10.6.1 macbook, using ical to display/edit the group calendar. Server has a correctly configured FQDN. Apart from some niggles (will come to later), all has been fine for the last 2 weeks - all 10.6 clients have been able to connect without problems (to FQDN:8008/principals/wikis/groupadministration ). I do not have SSL. Today, one of the clients could no longer update the group calendar or refresh it (for changes from other people).
The following is in the client system log:
iCal[278] Exception in -[CalDAVAccountRefreshQueueableOperation refreshWithExceptionHandling] :: * -[NSCFString rawInterval]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x165437f0
In the server caldavd error log:
[caldav-8009] [-] [twistedcaldav.method.propfind#error] Error reading property ('DAV:', 'current-user-privilege-set') for resource /calendars/_uids_/wiki-groupadministration/inbox/: <StatusResponse 401 Access denied while reading property {DAV:}current-user-privilege-set.>
Web access still works for this user.
There have been no changes to any set up and the user in question had no problems in the last 2 weeks, until today. I understand it just "stopped working" this morning - user can offer no further help.
In other niggles (possibly unrelated but if anyone can help):
* I have an older client, running 10.5.8 with no wish to upgrade to 10.6, as there are some software compatibility issues (Adobe CS2, Parallels 3) and no budge to update software. ical has never been able to connect to the ical server reliably - after the first update/sync, no further updates are possible.
* It is not possible to disable alarms to the group calendar in ical. Option-i, uncheck the box, and 30 seconds later the box is checked again. Each user has their own "personal" calendar in the group calendar, and some users like to have alarms. It is not possible to disable those alarms for other users.
Hope someone can help. All in all, I am not particularly impressed with SL server.

Hello all,
since yesterday I'm having the same problem. the server was even not touched the last days.
Thank you
Horst

ICal server not sending events older than 10 days

Have just discovered an issue with our iCal Server that I hope someone can help me resolve. It seems that sometime in the last few days, or past week. the iCal Server (running on a Snow Leopard Server 10.6.8 setup) has stopped sending out any events older than 10 or so days for 6 of the 7 calendar calDAV accounts that we all subscribe too. All future events on each calendar appear to be visible. The situation is consistent across of all of our Desktop's, MacBook Pro's and iPhone's so it is not localized to any single machine. It is also consistent when I subscribed through a third party calnedar application (BusyCal).
I have gone into the ~/Library/CalendarServer/Documents and although I could not access the folders directly, I did copy the folder and its contents to another hard drive where I was able to view what was inside. It appears that all of the individual event .ics files for each account are in their respective subfolders, but they are not being served out to the subscribers.
Any ideas on how to get these older events to become visible again would be very much appreciated. I am not very well versed on this type of thing and am learning on the fly.
Shawn

I'm having this same issue and I'm really ticked off.
When I upgraded today, I received a message saying that because I had so many events in the past that it would take longer to upgrade everything. It said that all my current and future events had been updated, but the past events would be available in 1 hour. Well, it's been a lot of 1 hours since then and nothing. All my events have been deleted from my MacPro, MacBook Pros, and iPhone. I'm holding out hope for them to reappear in the morning.
I know this isn't part of this thread, but I thought I'd throw it out anyway. Why are my subscribed calendars NOT visible online. Apple made an announcement in the past celebrating the ability to view subscribed calendars online when they once could not. Now with a new ADVANCEMENT, we've regressed and I cannot view subscribed calendars online. I hate to break it to Apple, but I use these subscribed calendars in my scheduling and planning, too. I still need to see them online just as I do on my computer and phone. So with all the updating and wonderful features, the lack of this one makes MobileMe online calendars useless to me and others.
One step forward, two steps back.

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.

OD errors in iCal Server (won't allow iCal Server to run)...

Can anyone help me solve the OD errors I'm seeing in iCal Server?
The Xserve I'm trying to run iCal Server on is connected to an OD Master.
I can't get iCal Server running on this as a result (though, any other Xserves on the network, also connected to the same OD Master, have no problem running iCal Server).
All other services on this Xserve (web, AFP, wiki, etc.) that rely on OD-based accounts work fine.
Any insight would be appreciated!
Kristin.

How do I restore calendars in Lion iCal Server? Where are the files?

I am ready to pull my hair out.
I am an Apple Consultant as well. However, Apple's choice to move to a postgres database without proper management tools is astounding.
So, Apple makes a dump file every night into /Library/Server/PostgreSQL/Backup.
Note from the Advaced Admin help doc on apple.com:
"Calendar event data is stored in a postgres database, with some support files in the file system.
This is different from Snow Leopard Server, where all calendar data files were stored on the file system. Now only attachments and the proxy database are stored on the file system. All other calendar data is stored in a database.
When backing up calendar server files, make sure to back up the /Library/Server/Calendar and Contacts/ directory and the postgres databases.
Database files
iCal Server uses database files for various purposes. It uses a postgres database to store calendar data. It uses sqlite files to store proxy relationships. To troubleshoot or resolve problems, an administrator needs to use postgres database queries. Teaching postgres database manipulation is beyond the scope of this topic.
To access the database, you need to use postgres and pg_ctl command-line tools."
I had a server crash at a client, and after TWO-THREE HOURS on phone with AppleCare Enterprise support, they said it would need an $895 support agreement to restore the calendars. YET APPLE'S BUILDS IN THE BACKUP, BUT NOT THE RESTORE??
Yes, Time Machine has been working.
Anyone else have any bright ideas?

Thanks for catching that. I didn't notice my signature. No, I'm running 10.8.1 and have everything updated to the very latest versions.
I'm syncing many calendars to iCloud now, but there are about 10 that are not. They're still listed as "On My Mac" and I need to move them to iCloud.

Can I set all existing events in a ICal Server calendar to 'private'?

I am consolidating my calendar histories. I have been able to get everything in my iCal Server calendar. But what I'd like to do is set all events before a certain date to 'private' as public/private has been lost for all items. I do want them in the iCal Server and not in a local client side calendar.
Is there a way to do this?

Hi, Trevor!
Did you consult the online DOM documentation for something like that?
I found the following:
http://help.adobe.com/livedocs/acrobat_sdk/10/Acrobat10_HTMLHelp/wwhelp/wwhimpl/js/html/ww help.htm?href=JS_API_AcroJS.88…
http://help.adobe.com/livedocs/acrobat_sdk/10/Acrobat10_HTMLHelp/wwhelp/wwhimpl/js/html/ww help.htm?href=JS_API_AcroJS.88…
Using AnnotRichMedia instead of media could be the key. Since media seems to be outdated, deprecated or something…
I'm out in the dark like you are with Acrobat and JS. Just consulted some of my bookmarks pointing at the SDK of Acrobat.
Some dummy-code:
var myRichMediaObjects = myDoc.getAnnotsRichMedia(nPage);
Properties of AnnotRichMedia object:
http://help.adobe.com/livedocs/acrobat_sdk/10/Acrobat10_HTMLHelp/wwhelp/wwhimpl/js/html/ww help.htm?href=JS_API_AcroJS.88…
for(var n=0;n<myRichMediaObjects.length;n++){
myRichMediaObjects[n].activated = false;
Don't know much about the DOM here. Maybe there is no length property for the object that is returned by getAnnotsRichMedia() ??
Did not try anything.
