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,
do u have the solution for this problem? i have the same problem
regards tony

How do I add a user's group calendar in iCal?

How do I add a user's group calendar in iCal?
I just keep getting "the account was not found"
But the account works for its own network calendar.
None of the following locations work -
master.mydomain.net:8008/principals/groups/domainusers/calendar
master.mydomain.net:8008/principals/wikis/domainusers/calendar
master.mydomain.net:8008/calendars/_uids_/wiki-domainusers/calendar
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.

Hi!
I've got the same weird problem..
I tried that url and I can open it in Safari and I even can add the calander in iCal on a macbook with 10.5 - but i just can't add it on my macbookpro with snow leopard.
Did anybody made that work on a snow leopard machine?
Best regards,

Server 4 (yosemite) doesn't support wiki group calendars anymore

when i create an internet account with "https://server-adress:8443/principals/wikis/goupname/"
for calendar app i don’t get any data.
if i look at the error prtocols, i see this:
[txdav.who.wiki#error] Wiki ACL lookup failed: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'uid'
but i can still access the calendar via safari.
does anyone have an idea?

I have been struggling with this same issue ever since I upgraded my server with Yosemite and the latest server.app. I had many clients accessing one wiki calendar with no problems and now it won't work.
I had this kind of uri set in my clients CalDAV accounts: "https://server-address:8443/principals/__uids__/wiki-wikigroupname/" (which seems to be an alternative to the one you had) and everything just worked perfectly. But now it does not get anything.
So this made me wonder that how can this web calendar work, as it’s accessing to the same WebDAV resources. And while looking Apache logs it seems that web calendar is successfully responding (HTTP 207) to PROPFIND and REPORT requests on /calendars/__uids__/wiki-wikigroupname/calendar/ while same resource responds (HTTP 503) to different user agent (same credentials)
This really irritates me, because not only it’s not working with OSX Calendar, but also as it’s not working with IOS (8.1) devices either. And if you try to use the wiki web calendar with IOS device, you get a notification “Web calendars are not available on Mobile Safari. You can configure access from Calendar application on iPhone, iPod Touch or a Mac or view them in a Web browser on a Mac or Windows-based PC”.

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?

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.

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.

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.

Group Calendar in ical

Is it possible to create a group calendar that can be viewed and edited by a group of people not using the same mac in iCal?

Multiple calendars under one wiki group

I have set up iCal server and web services and all is working fine, apart from group (wiki) calendars?
The Problem: A wiki was created with the name matching a workgroup managers "groups short name"
The group name in workgroup manager "WDA It" the short name "wdait", therfore the wiki was named "wdait" to match.
These instructions come from apple support.
when you log into the wiki with a user that is part of a group that has been given read write privileges to access that wiki you see the default "Calendar"
when you add the wiki calendar to a clients iCal using their username and password and the server address https://serverFQDN.com:8443/principals/wikis/wdait/ the same "Calendar" is shown. This is great but when you add another calendar through iCal on the client machine that new calendar does not sync or even show up on the web wiki interface.
Or visa versa if the new calendar is created on the wdait wiki calendar (web interface) this does not sync back to show up on the clients iCal.
i have tried creating a new workgroup manager group and a brand new user and a new wiki to match the new group and all on the web interface created 3 calendars and even changed the name of the default calendar from "Calendar" to something like "cal1" then on a fresh client machine with no calendars added in ical I added the new user who had been given rw privileges on that new wiki groups calendar, and when it synced only the first "calendar" showed up with the old name "calendar" and not the new changed name "cal1"
Any ideas? scratching head.

I am struggling as well with accessing the WIKI calendars using the "https://server:8443/principals/wikis/groupname/". It also takes me to a different calendar.
I have ended up turning off the SSL and going directly to the wiki itself which uses the format of "http://server/principals/__uids__/wiki-E01D65F9-5E68-4642-B540-83F54498ABF5__wik i_guid/".
I found the address by going to going to the "https://server:8443/principals/wikis/groupname/" directly in Safari which then shows you all the different names the calendar uses if i remember correctly.
Suspect that if you try some of the other address' you may be able to use SSL, didn't have enough time to try!

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.

Ical disable alarms for group calendars

hi there,
i have ical clients setup to access group calendars on a 10.6.2 server. is there a way to disable the alarms for wiki/group calendars?
thanx

Hi,
Open the calendar list in iCal and select the calendar so the background is blue. Press Cmd-I (or choose Get Info from the Edit menu). A sheet should open with the calendar info, there is an ignore alerts option there.
Best wishes

How to create a group calendar?

Hello,
i am sorry but this is one more question on wiki-group-calendars.
*In short:*
I am not able to create a group calendar with the wiki frontend. the calendar that is created with a wiki is owned by the admin of the wiki. So it is always a personal calendar that cannot be shared in iCal.
LONG:
I want to create a group calendar that is viewed and edited through iCal.app and the web service. Apple´s "wiki deployment" guide says on page 57:
+"The web calendar allows you to easily schedule events for yourself or your group. ...+
+There are *two types of web calendars: personal and group*. You can send and receive event invitations through the personal calendar but not through the group calendar. Also, *while anyone in a group can create or edit events in a group calendar*, you can edit only events in your own personal calendar or event invitations you send to other people.+
+The web calendar uses iCal Server to store events and invitations. ..."+
But there is not mentioned how to create a group calendar. The calendar created with the wiki web-frontend belongs to the admin of that particular wiki. This is why the calendar data ist stored in folder named with the UUID of the wiki admin. Also the alias "http://server.fqdn:8008/principals/groups/mygroupname/" which i provided in iCal turns into ..._uids_UUID-of-the-wiki-admin and only the wiki-admin can access this calendar in iCal.app.
My research on this topic reveals that there were in issue that should be resolved in 10.6.4 (that is running on our Server). So, again, how to create a group calendar?
Thanks, Philipp.

Could you be more specific farmer tan, please?
You said "you need to go to the wiki page and add the wiki's there...." What is the "wiki page" you mention? Is that some place I go to via the browser or the Server Admin tool?
I went to http://ical.mysite.com/ical/ and logged in as the Directory Administrator but didn't see anything resembling what you described.
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

"Group" calendars and SSL trouble...

Server: SL 10.6.3
Clients: SL 10.6.3, L 10.5.x
Because we're trying to run Mobile Access Server (MAS), we cannot use Kerberos for calendars on a mobile device like a laptop or iPhone. So SSL it is.
However I find that I have to create the calendar as Kerberos, relaunch iCal, then change it to SSL.
I can't ask my users to do that, especially since sometimes it takes 2 or 3 tries.
Do any of ya'll have any ideas that may help?
Thanks!

Hi,
The web group calendar works with its group. User iCals can interface to a web group calendar and make entries that get uploaded if they are group members, but the user of the web group is the group. In other words they are two different calendars and a specific users calendar is not viewed on the web. The web calendar is not an iCal like application.
Use Directory.app under Utilities to setup Locations and Resources.
For setting up a user to interact with group calendar through iCal take a look at
