SL Read Only Group Calendars in iCal?

We've been using the wiki-based group calendars for a bit with SSL and/or Kerberos AD logins. Now I have a request that:
*Only some people can read.
*Only some people can read/write.
*Using AD credentials (Win2k8)
*All via iCal on 10.5
I found how to set users/groups to Read Only in the Wiki interface, but when that happens, it never takes the login credentials. When used as an account(http://servername:8008/principals/wikis/groupname/), it won't take. When used via Subscribe to Calendar (webcal://servername:8008/calendars/_uids_/wiki-groupname/calendar) it won't take. (The subscribe info comes from the wiki interface "i" box.)
What am I missing here?

No, at the time I am writing this the topic is not answered. Simply applying the 10.5.6 combo update did not work for me when I had this problem.
This did NOT work either - http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1906?viewlocale=en_US.
This is what worked:
0) make sure both iCal and Mail are closed, and it might not be a bad idea to temporarily shut off any syncing software you may have active
1) start with the calendar folders from Tiger that are located in Users/{yourusername}/Library/Application Support/iCal/Sources, the ones with crazy names like "2E28E612-467E-4981-975E-D07A31AC39C4.calendar" which contain files" called "corestorage.ics," "Index," and "info.plist"; if "all" you have is an iCal backup library (.icbu file), then you can go to a Tiger machine, restore to that iCal, and then take the above calendar folders from it
2) copy the calendar folders to the desktop of your Leopard machine
3) read this thread (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1196389&tstart=0) down to the posts by Thierry Girard
4) do what he says with the text editor, but you can use TextEdit, and look for either the SEQUENCE:-1 or the PRIORITY:-1. Set either one to just 1 (remove the negative sign); I had some value related to a MICROSOFT this or that, and I did not change it at all.
5) take the edited calendar folders from your desktop and move them into /Users/{yourusername}/Library/Calendars
6) start up iCal; at this point, I was in business
I hope this is helpful.

and every variation I can think of (I've tried master.local, http:// & webcal:// and a / at the end)
I can add a users network calendar account to iCal.
I can subscribe to a group / wiki calendar in iCal.
I can add an event on the wiki calendar as a user.
But I want a user to be able to add an event to a group calendar in iCal.
Any ideas would be appreciated.

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.

Purposefully NOT syncing only one calendar in iCal, possibility?

Does anyone know of a way to purposefully NOT sync only one of my ical calendars across MobileMe, while still syncing the rest?
I'm using the calendar in question to automatically run an application every hour on my home computer using ical alarms. I have my home computer and work computers synced through mobileme so that my calendars will show up on my work computer. Problems is I do not want the application to be run every hour on my work computer. Unchecking the calendar did not seem to stop the alarms from going off on the work computer. Can anyone think of a way I can keep the calendar at home but not have it sync to mobileme?
Thanks!

I bought and have used BusySync with great success http://www.busymac.com/
My only caveat is that I've had problems recently that are probably due to the fact I've also installed Appigo Sync, and with syncing via MobileMe I may have had too many cooks in the kitchen.
Good luck!

Using a wiki group calendar in ical

Dear all,
I have searched the forum now for quite some hours but I haven't found any sollution. I am running a Lion Server 10.7.2. I have setup iCal server and a wiki. I am trying to set up a group calendar, which is working, BUT I am having trouble to setup my iCal accessing that specific calendar.
Let's presume I am trying to get this work for testing in my own LAN first, so I am currently working with IP-addresses.
Server IP: 192.168.100.37
wiki's name: test
I can access the calendar through the webserver but of course I wanna use iCal.
I have learned from other posts that the iCal-account should be set up like this
http://mainserver.example.com:8008/principals/__uids__/wiki-intern/
This would mean for my server
http://192.168.100.37:8008/principals/_uids_/test
if I am correct. However iCal is telling me afterwards that no calendar has been found on the server. Does anyone have an idea what I am doing wrong?
Thank you so much.

hi andre,

Creating a 'read-only' group for Worklist app

Hi,
Is there a simply way of creating a group with 'read-only' access to the Worklist ? e.g. through a combination of BPM roles ?
I want to be able to create a class of user who can view the details of Worklist items but have absolutely no other rights (skip, retry, assign etc).
Regards
Bob

One simple way to achive this task is by using FYI pattern.
Remove the actions from taskconfigvariablename.xml (for ex accept and reject).
in case you are already using any pattern in your project, FYI pattern should extend that already created pattern.

Sharing only one calendar in ICAL

I have several calendars set up in my ICAL. I want to share only one via email but when I try the file gives access to all of my calendars. How do I provide access to one not all?

Selecting only 1 calendar from ical to isync

I have several calendars in my ical, but I only want 1 of them to sync with my palm.

OK, when you open iSync, you should have an image of your Palm device. Click the image and then it should display more information. Under Calendars it has two options, All and Selected, click Selected and then de-select those that you do not want to have on your Palm device.

Set up a read only group on the config.xml file through Admin console

I would like to set up a group which can use Admin console
(http://ip:7001/console).
However, this group cannot deploy, modify anything on the configuration. In
the document, I can add ACL lists. But how? The table of permission
function on the document is not clear. For example, there is no READ and
WRITE on the table in the Admin Server guide. Please help.
If I have guest enable on the Admin console. What is the user name and
password of a gest to use the Admin console?
Thanks for help.

Do you want to expose the Admin app on the same network as the managed app?
If not, just hide (black hole) the IP/port to the admin server.
If I have guest enable on the Admin console. What is the user name and
password of a gest to use the Admin console?I don't think guest has a password. Allowing guest means non-auth'd users
can access it.
Peace,

ICal & Group calendar access

Does anybody know how to setup iCal to access the group calendars that are available through the wiki.
I have successfully setup the client app to access the users calendar, but need to access the group calendar via iCal as well (if possible)

Thanks for that, Jonathan, but it appears to have a problem: you apparently can't use the Address Panel if you fill in the Account URL field, and all the attendees I fill in to events aren't "real" they have little exclams before their name, instead of check marks.
It seems that the Address Panel only works with accounts that have "Automatically discover server address" checked, and each account for which you have that checked must have a different Username -- you can't use a group name.
I suppose you could set up dummy user names so you could access the groups somehow, AND have the Address Panel working properly...
It's too bad this stuff doesn't work better. I'll bet it doesn't get better before the next "kitty" release, 18-24 months from now...

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.

How do I delete a read only calendar entry

I'm trying delete an apparent "read only" birthday calendar event and I'm getting a message about "only the calendar administrator and any delegates with permission...blah, blah, blah. I've tried how to "become a "calendar administrator" so I can delete a constantly occurring birthday reminder I do not want, but I have found nothing that will help me become this authoritative figure that can then possess these magical deleting privileges in my own calendar! Anybody been done this path and figured it out?
Many thanks.

If it is the Birthdays calendar then you control entries on it from the Contacts app.
If you enter a birthday on a contact card it will show a reminder in calendar.

Bad appointments in subscribed group calendar

I've successfully gotten Leopard server running, with the appropriate services for my organization. Currently I'm testing it and seem to have found a slight problem.
Adding events to a group calendar works like a charm, but when I subscribed to the group calendar via iCal one date has been moved. I have a similar entry on a seperate personal calendar, but the two events are not exactly identical. They are set for Dec 14 2007. one is called "birthday" and the other is "birthday!" for different times on the same date. Looking at the calendar via the web, everything looks fine, but in iCal, the imported date has been moved to Dec 13 2007, while all other entries are properly posted to their correct dates.
Has anyone else experienced this?

It's really odd, looking through it, the only appointments that "slide" (nice way to put it btw ) were the ones that had "birthday" in them. Another one that shared a title with my private calendar didn't. This is one huge disappointing bug. I hate to say it, but as great as a lot of the new features are it feels like some of these shouldn't have made it past beta, especially if a calendar can't keep dates straight.
Cheers!
