Synchronizing contacts between calendar and mail

Question

All,
I'm supposed to be implementing synhronization of contacts between calendar and email - unidirectional sync. in the direction from calendar to email is acceptable. I'm starting out with a sample program that somebody made and which should be working, but I have a problem when I get to calling CSDK_SetIdentity (CSDK_CreateSession and CSDK_ConnectAsSysop works fine).
The returned status code is either CAPI_STAT_DATA_USERID_ID or CAPI_STAT_DATA_USERID_EXT_FORMAT, depending on my input. Examples of what I've been trying: "?/mail=[email protected],cn=users,dc=asker,dc=kommune,dc=no,cn=UM_SYSTEM,cn=EMailServerContainer,cn=Products,cn=OracleContext"; "[email protected]" ; "marius.heggstad" or "mheggsta"; and so on...
Question 1: Examples of correct user id. format? Note that I don't understand the format examples given in the Calendar SDK Dev. Guide (s for Surname etc.).
Question 2: If you have already developed a solution for this kind of sync. job, I'd like to get my hands on it - anything that could help me get going. I'm currently using the C language; Java would be even better.
Other details: We're on linux, running OCS 9.0.4.2 on server as well as client (SDK). I've been trying the Windows as well as the linux SDK - same result.
Thanks,

Answer 1

All,
Hi again - summer holidays didn't help... the problem with CSDK_SetIdentity remains the same as noted in my original posting. This time, I've also been testing on another installation. The only special config I've done is "allowsysoplogon_capi = TRUE" in unison.ini, which was necessary to be able to logon as SYSOP.
Please let me know if anyone of you actually used the SDK to connect the way I'm trying, or if you have other hints. Sample working Java code?
I'm pasting my code below for you to see exactly what I'm doing:
CAPI_SetConfigFile("capi.ini", "con.log");
stat = CSDK_CreateSession(CAPI_FLAG_NONE, &gSession);
if (stat == CAPI_STAT_OK)
stat = CSDK_ConnectAsSysop ( gSession, CAPI_FLAG_NONE, "akoraapp.asker.kommune.no","1","akora77" ) ;
else
CSDK_GetStatusString (stat, &errorName);
printf("You were unable to create session \n");
exit(1);
CSDK_GetStatusString (stat, &errorName);
/* Establish connection to calendar server */
printf(">>%s\n", errorName ? errorName : "(null)");
if (stat == CAPI_STAT_OK)
printf("\nCongratulations! You are now connected to your calendar server.\n");
else
printf("You were unable to connect to the server\n");
CSDK_DestroySession(&gSession);
exit(1);
sprintf(p_filename,"userlist.txt");
if ((fileid = fopen(p_filename,"r")) == NULL)
printf("Unable to Open userlist.txt ....");
while (fgets(p_buffer, BUFFER_SIZE, fileid))
stat = CSDK_SetIdentity(gSession,p_buffer, CAPI_FLAG_NONE);
if (stat == CAPI_STAT_OK)
printf("\nIdentified.\n");
else
printf("Unable to set Identity for %s", p_buffer);
CSDK_GetStatusString (stat, &errorName);
printf(">>%s\n", errorName ? errorName : "(null)");
continue;
Thanks, Erik
