ICal Server - Wiki Calendar - Path is resetted

Hi everybody,
having setup a 10.6 server with activated iCal Server. Working with exceptions as expected.
The Port for SSL iCal is openend in the Firewall, so the clients can access the Server.
The client is set to serverpath: "/principals/__uuids__/wiki-name/"
From time to time the client (Lion 10.7.2 all updates) is resetting the serverpath to "/principals/__uuids__/<unique_user_id>".
Can I prevent the client from doing that? Most of the time it's resetted, when the client is in a public WiFi.
Thanks a lot and greeting from germany.

  • Wiki calendar path!!

    Hi!
    I'm working on ical server, wiki calendar for group! As I know it is not possible to send invitation if calendar is based on wiki, but may be it is possible to change path for wiki calendar so it could look on calendar which made no server __uids__/<calendar> but not in __uids__/wi/ki/<calendar>!
    I suppose it could solve the problem with invitations, because if you have wiki calendar for group, and user uses this calendar also on ical (just by changing server path) you are not able to send invitations! But if it's regular calendar on ical server it can send invitations, so I just want to find where I can change path to calendar for wiki calendar!
    May be somebody have some ideas?
    Thanks in advance!

    While the behavior you describe
    (...every so often the Lion iCal client will forget the group wiki path and it seems to revert to the default ("/principals/__uids__/many hex characters"). I then have to go back in and restore the group wiki path...)
    is not ideal, I can't even get it to remember it once. Restart iCal server, restart iCal client, restart MacBook Pro with client...it keeps reverting back to the hex address.
    You mention something about
    ...this was a preferences problem with Lion iCal in the client...
    and
    ...I cleaned all the individual calendar files out of the Library folder...
    Can you be more specific? I tried digging through the library files, looking for ones associated with the URL of the SLS Wiki Calendar, but that did not seem to help.
    Thanks!

  • Edit events in iCal on Wiki calendar

    I know that it's by default not supported, the editing of events from the Wiki calendar in iCal, but still I wanna know if there's a work around.
    Does anybody know if there's a work around, coding-wise, programming-wise or whatever-wise, to be able to edit events from the Wiki calendar in iCal?
    Now I get a message every time I wanna edit an event that i can't edit it from iCal. But I want other people who sign up to the calendar also to be able to edit the events from their own calendar program.

    Hello there skier3,
    You should be able to edit an event in the Calendars app by tapping the event in quuestion and then tapping edit shown here:
    iCloud: Using iCloud Calendars with Calendar and iCal
    Tap the event to display event details, including the name of the calendar that contains the event:

  • ICal Server Shared Calendars "403" Error

    Greetings,
    We are currently running a 10.7.4 Server with 10.7.4 clients. The problem is with the calendar system's sharing funtion. Some users will consistantly receive an error message "403" Stating that the user does not have permission to edit the item when they edit an item or change an existing event to another user's shared calendar. After some troublshooting I found that if I made the claendar in question the default calendar in iCal, I was able to create vents without problem. I have tried removing the problemed users from that calendar's list of shared users, and changing permissions back and forth from Read to Read/Write without any success. There are no iCloud or MobileMe accounts on any of the client machines, a pertinent negative as searching for a resolution to this issue yeilds many similar problems related to those services.
    Summary:
    Creating or editing an event in a shared calendar within iCal (while not the host of sdaid calendar) results in a error code 403. However, when the user in question changes their default calendar to the shared calendar, there is no issue creating new events. The issue is only persistant with a few users. Other users have no issue manipulting existing records in the same shared calendar.
    Configuration:
    OS X Lion Server (10.7.4)
    iCal service is configured properly
    Clients are all running 10.7.4
    Screenshot of the error message:
    Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

    I have got same problem.
    After importing the calendar user can't create new appointments.
    It isnt possible to add a new appointment.
    let me know if there is an solution?
    Thanks.

  • Mail, iCal Server and iChat server will not work over VPN

    I have an Airport Extreme Base Station at the office running the network. Behind it sits a Mac Mini Snow Leopard server running 10.6.3. The ports necessary for Mail, iCal Server and iChat work fine through that external connection. I can also connect with VPN from my 10.6.3 clients.
    HOWEVER, when I connect with the VPN clients, I am suddenly unable to access the Mail, iCal Server, Wiki server and iChat server. All connections time out. I can ping the server and I can do other things that do NOT work on the public Airport like ssh or VNC. ssh and VNC are closed at the airport extreme.
    So it's pretty odd. When I'm connected via the VPN, all ports that are forwarded to the Snow Leopard server time out over the VPN.
    I've tried various and sundry configurations with the VPN client. This includes trying to send all traffic over the VPN, moving it up in the service order, etc. etc. Nothing fixes it. DNS resolution is working fine, however when I do a wireshark capture of ppp0 traffic, I notice that SSL and TLSv1 handshakes appear to occur on the public IP address instead of the private network IP address... and they're all resets.
    Has anyone gotten this to work successfully? Like I said, all ports that are NOT forwarded through the Airport work fine over the VPN, but will not work when connected to the VPN. It's really bizarre.

    New data: any ports that are normally forwarded on the Airport Extreme to the Mac Mini server will not work when connected to the VPN.
    For instance, if I have imaps/993 forwarded from the Airport Extreme to the Mac Mini, it works fine over the Internet. If I connect to the VPN, I can connect to all OTHER services on the Mac Mini, but Mail, for instance, will not work.

  • Strange behavior iCal en iCal server

    I have made a group calendar, three people can write to this calendar. I have also added this calendar to my iCal app.
    When i make on the web environment an all day appointment, it appears in iCal from 02:00 Am to 02:00 Am the next day...and not as an all day appointment.
    When I make an all day appointment in iCal, it does not show on the Web. regular appointments are alright.
    The time on the servers are the same (euro.apple.com, Amsterdam).
    Kind regards,
    Michiel

    The main reason i invested in Leopard Server, was to take advantage of iCal and possible scheduling possibilities. I had better looked into this forum BEFORE buying!
    iCal and Wiki-calendar are hard to synchronize.
    It is NOT plug & play. It is very unlike Apple.
    Seems we'll have to wait untill Snow Leopard for a good(?) iCal Server, and probably pay for it?

  • ICal server to android?

    I see lots of ways to get a local iCal calendar into the android platform, but how do I get access into the iCal server based calendars? I would also like our droids to be able to access them through our MAS server without resorting to the web interface. I can do this on iOS devices...
    Thanks!

    Got to the Android market and search for CalDAV. There are several apps supporting to sync calendars to your Android device.
    The one I use at the moment, is Hypermatix "Calendar (CalDAV)" but it's not supported on the latest Android versions and you can't create new calendars, you have to create them with a Google account.
    The one I will switch to soon, is DMFS "CalDAV-Sync". This software integrates nicely with the existing Android calendars and you can add new calendars from within the application (they have also a CardDAV application for my addresses).
    All software is only usefull if you have a CalDAV server (e.g. iCal on OSX Server)

  • 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.

  • Can't Host a Wiki Server's calendar using Server 10.8

    I have setup server and attempted to have one of my calendars on iCal sync with the Wiki calendar
    I have a user called bernard
    I have a calendar in ical called bernardtraining
    In the Wiki the user bernard has a calendar but I cant get ical to sync with the Wiki.
    In iCal Accounts
    I set up an account in ical lets call it server.myserver.private (hiding actual name)
    user name = bernard
    password is set to user password
    Refresh 5 minutes
    In Server Settings iCal Accounts
    Server address server.myserver.private
    server path aut populates to /principals/__uids__/7A7D303D-8265-47D5-BAD1-01E3DDD4CC37/  (maybe this is the problem)
    Port = auto
    SSL = No (for now)
    No delgates
    I then went through this process.....
    When you set up iCal Server to provide the calendar service for a wiki, Wiki Server provides access to the calendars, so users who do not have wiki privileges do not have calendar service.
    Use serveradmin via the Terminal app to change the setting.sudo serveradmin set calendar:Authentication:Wiki:Enabled = "<setting>" The default value for <setting> is “no”.
    The other possible value is “yes.”
    Command example:
    sudo serveradmin set calendar:Authentication:Wiki:Enabled = "yes"
    Use serveradmin via the Terminal app to designate the Wiki server.sudo serveradmin set calendar:Authentication:Wiki:Hostname = "<DNSWikiServer>" The default value for <DNSWikiServer> is the Wiki server’s fully qualified domain name.
    Command example:
    sudo serveradmin set calendar:Authentication:Wiki:Hostname = "wikiweb.example.com"
    Use serveradmin via the Terminal app to encrypt the connection.sudo serveradmin set set calendar:Authentication:Wiki:UseSSL = "(yes|no)" The default value is “no”.
    Command example:
    sudo serveradmin set set calendar:Authentication:Wiki:UseSSL = "yes"
    Still no success.
    Can anyone help?

    I did, and had it working last night. It won't now, though.
    I don't understand port triggering, and when I attempted to look up the help files on the linksys site, they told me to register first - then they wouldn't let me fill in the email address section of the registration, so..
    I don't use a firewall, and this computer I'm trying to host the server on is directly connected to the router. The wireless connection is with a laptop upstairs. I just checked, and my IP changed, but fixing that in Port Forwarding still does nothing. I can host the server... It just doesn't show up on gamespy.
    Just about everywhere I read up on this, it mentions having to have a static IP address. I went through the guides that tell how to go about getting one set up, but still doesn't work. I don't have anything even remotely mentioning linksys in Network Connections though - that's on the laptop. Could this be the problem?
    Another problem I ran into when setting up the router, was I'd get an error unpacking languages, or something. Got it every time, but it let me move on after closing the error so didn't think much of it.

  • Group calendars on 10.6.4 client machines no longer work with iCal Server

    After updating 2 client machines to 10.6.4 I realized my group calendars no longer work in iCal.
    I get "Server Responded With an Error" on all my group calendars, on both machines.
    Preferences>Accounts>Server Path reveles the server path has reverted back to a GUID "/principals/_uids_/GUID string/" .
    I change it back to "/principals/_uids_/wiki-GroupName/" and get it working again, but if I quit iCal and restart it again reverts back to the GUID.
    I've trashed all calendars in ~/Library/Calendars, and the Prefs. I also tried "/principals/wikis/GroupName/", but again it reverts.
    I booted to my 10.6.3 clone and have no problems with the group calendars there.
    (I'm running 10.6.4 Server)
    Is anyone else having this issue?
    Any ideas?

    Are you asking for an example of how to use calendarservermanageprincipals? While the tool is designed to help you configure privileges on resources and locations, it works fine for users. So I created a new user in Workgroup Manager to represent my Marketing department's calendars. I named this user "sharedmarketing".
    Then, I wanted to give staff read-only access to the calendar and give Marketing write access, so I executed these two commands:
    sudo calendarservermanageprincipals --add-write-proxy groups:marketing users:sharedmarketing
    sudo calendarservermanageprincipals --add-read-proxy groups:staff users:sharedmarketing
    I then imported the content from the Marketing Wiki calendar into this calendar and that was it!
    If I logged in directly to the sharedmarketing account (not necessary), and looked how the account was set to be delegated, it properly showed group names:
    There is no way to configure it like this using the iCal GUI, and this was I always felt that the management of privileges was the biggest obstacle in setting up iCal Server in this proper, supported fashion.
    Then, from the client, I can naturally access those group calendars:
    This is SO much easier to setup and maintain as each user only needs to have their ONE iCal account configured and they can just add the necessary groups, which is WAY easier than supplying users with crazy wiki-calendar URLs.

  • How to sync to Snow Leopard Server wiki group calendar

    I'm running the Mac Mini Snow Leopard Server in our law office of 8 attorneys.  We all use PC's with Outlook 2010.  We don't have Microsoft Exchange Server, and we bought the Snow Leopard Server because of its advertisement that you could achieve the same results on it as on Exchange Server, but without the cost.  SOUNDS LIKE-------OH WELL.  We want to be able to see everyone's calendar events on 1 calendar if possible.  I setup a Group Wiki for the group "Attorneys".  When I open that wiki, I've set it to be accessible by all attorneys in the group.  When the attorneys accounts were setup in Workgroup Manager, the Attorneys group was also setup, and they have access to the group.  I've been trying to figure out how to do this, and the result that seems to come closest is the Wiki Attorneys Group Calendar.  I have setup separate calendars in it for each attorney.  And so you can see them all on one screen, or deselect and only see the calendars you want.  Now the problem is how do I get the existing events off of Outlook 2010 on each machine and into the respective calendars in the Group Wiki, and also update that calendar as events change on each attorney's Outlook calendar?  If there is some better way to do this I'm certainly open for suggestions.  I don't believe that you can "sync" the iCal client calendar with the Wiki Calendar.  If you can that might also be a solution.  Thanks.

    I went to the AppStore and as I was running Snow Leopard Server it prompted me to purchase Lion Server which I didn't want.
    Luckily, I wasn't asked to purchase the 'Server' when I upgraded from SLS to Mountain Lion via the AppStore. I think your particular problem was mentioned in some other posts where the upgrade path to Lion became an infinite loop (hmmm... ). But that's all in the past now. Glad it all worked.

  • Web Based Wiki Calendar does not match iCal Account Calendars

    +Accidentally posted this in the 10.5 Server section, hopefully there's not a problem posting it here as well, but since I'm on 10.6.7 Snow Leopard Server I thought this section might have an answer:+
    Having a weird issue with a Wiki Calendar that I want to share throughout the office. I created a group and then created a Wiki for it using the Server Preferences, then enabled the Calendar in the Wiki Preferences. This works fine, calendar shows up when logged into the wiki.
    Next I wanted to have it accessible from both the Web for the few PC users we have and from iCal for our Mac users. I added the Wiki calendar with the following settings in iCal:
    Account type: CalDAV
    User name: shortname (of a group member)
    Password: (password of group member)
    Server address: server.mydomain.com/principals/wikis/groupshortname
    The calendar gets added fine in iCal with one problem, it is not the same calendar that is on the wiki if you log in via a browser. Events added in iCal do not show up on the wiki's events list and if I add a calendar or change the name it is not reflected on the wiki page either.
    The Server Path in iCal preferences shows:
    /principals/_uids_/wiki-groupshortname/
    Events that I add to the calendar will show up to everyone that has the account added in iCal, just not on the wiki page. Wondering if anyone else has come across this and knows how to fix it. Thanks.

    What I did is checking if one of the server updates causes the problem:
    - Clean installation of 10.6.3
    - New and empty folders for collaboration and calendar
    - Checking user calendar was fine - with the user wikis and calendar is no problem at all.
    Wikis:
    - New test-wiki and new calendar entry was as it should (in the calendar folder under the real wiki-name folder - not 465465464654645something)
    - Connecting with iPhone worked calender are updating
    - Connecting with iCal from OSX failed (could not find UID__4565465436135thing)
    - Updating the server with 10.6.6 combo
    - second test-wiki and new calendar entry was as it should (in the calendar folder under the real wiki-name folder - not 465465464654645something)
    - Connecting with iPhone worked calender are updating
    - Connecting with iCal from OSX ok and updating
    - I copied two of my production wikis in the collaboration folder and the calendar are updating with iCal and iPhone
    - Updating the server with 10.6.7 combo
    Without loosing a second the server is making new calendars and renames the Websites Name of the calender with 4653134604645065406something.
    - But only with the migrated wikis from 10.5 not with the new test wikis
    I will now make another installation and update to 10.6.6 only and try to reconfigurate the server.

  • Lion iCal client can't read SLS wiki calendar?

    Anyone else running Snow Leopard Server (10.6.8) having issues with the new Lion iCal client (v5.0) not seeing a wiki/group calendar? I've got the server path on the Lion client on a new MacBook Air exactly the same as that of the Snow Leopard client (v4.0.4) on my Mac Pro: /principals/__uids__/wiki-groupname
    The Mac Pro is working fine with this setup, only difference is the client OS/client iCal version.
    iCal server logs don't even show a hit from the Lion client when I refresh the client calendar, while it does show a hit from the Snow Leopard client when I refresh it.

    While the behavior you describe
    (...every so often the Lion iCal client will forget the group wiki path and it seems to revert to the default ("/principals/__uids__/many hex characters"). I then have to go back in and restore the group wiki path...)
    is not ideal, I can't even get it to remember it once. Restart iCal server, restart iCal client, restart MacBook Pro with client...it keeps reverting back to the hex address.

  • ICal Server - want to publish a single calendar

    I'm missing a basic concept on iCal Server i think.
    I just want to publish a single calendar to the public with NO passwords.
    Calendars exist on the iCal Server on 10.8.5 using login credentials from Open Directory where users
    can create calendars, share calendars, etc.
    When you go to the Web site, it first asks for your login and password.
    How do i link a calendar to a public location, or make a calendar publicly accessible?
    Thanks in advance
    Tim Far

    So with no responses to the above question, I've had to rtfm...
    It appears from my reading of the somewhat limited documentation on iCal Server on 10.8.5, since I have chosen
    to apply security to the Wiki's and Calendars to use OD on the server; I cannot open a public viewable Calendar along side the secured ones.  ( I may certainly be wrong, but I haven't been able to find out how.)
    So I took an easier approach, as I wanted 1 public calendar viewable and subscribable by the public.
    The local iCal server will be used privately for local secure business, while the Public calendar will be
    maintained on the local Admin's desktop, then shared publicly to Google calendars, where I set up a simple secure acount.  This gives me 4 benefits.
    1. A public viewable webpage of the calendar - for those with iCal or iPhone (droid population, or browsers)
    2. An dot.ics subscribable link  for those with iPhones, iCal compatibe calendars
    3. An embedded link for our education web site, to show the Public calendar inline on our own website.
    4. The ability to publish to said Google calendar , from the locally managed desktop.
    This may have been obvious, or not; and potentially othe ways of accomplishing the same,
    Any thoughts or goctcha's ?
    Thanks in advance.
