Resources cannot log to the UWC.

Question

Hello i have come accross a problem in a new system directory server enterprise edition and communications express 6.3.
when a client tries to log with a resources uid and password, i get the message that the application is not configured properly. and others users cannot subscribe to the calendar to use the resource.
i have notices that the resource in question has no mail attributes at all. is it mandatory to have a mail attribute?
here is the ldif of the resource causing troubles.

this is a resource in the ldif i submited you can see The LDIF you provided is for a user account hence the:
objectClass: icscalendaruserA resource LDIF would look something like this:
dn: uid=testresource,ou=People,o=aus.sun.com,o=isp
cn: testresource
icsStatus: active
owner: uid=shjorth,ou=People,o=aus.sun.com,o=isp
inetResourceStatus: active
mail: [email protected]
uid: testresource
objectClass: inetResource
objectClass: icsCalendarResource
objectClass: top
icsCalendar: [email protected]
icsTimezone: Asia/Shanghai
icsDWPHost: server.aus.sun.com
it's a meeting room named Luc Collin; I will ask how this is created; I assume it is created as an user but without a mailbox.A resource is not created like a user. If this is the approach that is being taken then you need to fix your provisioning software.
I have invited it to an event but since it doesn't have a mail attribute then it can't accept or be replied to.As I already noted, all calendar users and resources must have a mail: attribute.
the calendar has already one event; i don't know if this is made by default, Events are not automatically added to new calendars -- this must have been created manually by a person.
