Web calendar for group only? Users cals only in iCal?

I'm new to setting up iCal server and I've looked through my *Mac OS X Server Essentials* book as well as iCalService_Admin_v10.5_2ndEd.pdf and WebTechnologies_Adminv10.5.pdf and how the iCal service, the iCal application and the web calendar all interact remains a little murky for me.
Here's my understanding so far:
iCal the application on the OS X client computer is used to manage a single user's calendar. iCal can also be used to manage another user's calender if so set up.
The web calendar found at http://domain/groups/groupname/calendar/ is used to manage a group's calendar.
iCal the application can subscribe Read-Only to the group's calendar.
This means to me that a user's calendar is not viewable on the web, the web calendar is only for group calendaring, and group calendar management is only done via the web not iCal, is this true?

I have only recently made my web calendars work, but have had several odd problems when trying to use both the web calendar and iCal to edit and view the same group calendar.
*What is the proper way to access a group calendar in the iCal client?*
Is it this?

Disabling Related Content for groups of users

I only want certain members of my user community to have access to the related content I am providing, and want to exclude all other users from any related content.
Does anyone know of a way to disable related content in PeopleTools 8.50 for groups of users (i.e. I want to hide the Related Information pagebar link based on security settings)?
Also, I have found that the Related Information link is only displayed if the Customize Page link is also available on the pagebar. Is there any logical reason for this, or is it a bug?

Can't enable web services for groups (wiki) in WGM

I'm having trouble creating a wiki on my server. More specifically, in WGM, I cannot enable web services for a group. The pull-down menu is accessible, but the only option is "(None)."
I have users and groups set up in OD (they are not local).
I have a working default web page.
I have web services enabled in Server Admin.
I can create and access user blogs.
My user and group folders are on a raid drive instead of the main drive - I'm wondering at this point if there's a problem with a folder name or permissions. WGM just doesn't seem to recognize that there's a site on my server.

Exchange Web Services for external O365 users w/UAG

The client has UAG in use, currently, for OWA and EAS for the on-prem mailboxes.
We have O365 Federation enabled right now using ADFS with proxies. ADFS is *not* behind the UAG firewall. sss.clientdomain.com resolves directly to the ADFS proxies. We've successfully tested the SSO redirect.
With UAG in play, how will that affect Exchange Online mailbox users who are trying to get to OWA from their home PC? The UAG proxy is set for pre-auth to the internal AD DS.
Is this going to be a problem for Exchange Online users using OWA and EAS? If so, how do I get around this? My goal is to make sure UAG is as small of a piece of this puzzle as possible, seeing it is nearing end-of-life.

Exchange Online OWA users will likely have to authenticate twice here - once to get to the on-prem Exchange server for OWA through UAG, and then again at the ADFS Proxy, after the on-prem redirection. The alternative would be
to provide Exchange Online users the separate URL, so as to connect directly to Exchange Online, and therefore only getting prompted for authentication once at the ADFS Proxy.

Thanks for your help, Adail Horst

I am trying to display the user name and groups he belong to based on samplesales dashboard. Hence no LDAP/external table authentication.

You can add and remove delegates.

Disable Drill Down For Groups only except SubReport

 Hi All,I have 10 subreports and also 5 Groups sections in one report (version CR 10 - VS.Net 2005) I need to disable drill down on Groups except SubReport . Thanks in advance for any solution -Harini 

Where are the subreports located? You mention you have 10 subreports and also 5 group sections. Are the subreports located in the page or report header/footer sections? Are there detail records in the groups? If not, then you don't need to supress drill-down, there is nothing to drill to. If there is, suppress the detail section. If a user drills on the groups, there will be no detailed information visible.
Typically, if you have multiple groups and want to supress drill-down but still display the first group, you can use the 'drilldowngrouplevel >1' statement in the section expert to conditionally suppress the group. Right click the group, select 'Section expert', and click the formula button (the button with the 'X-2' and a little pencil)Â next toÂ 'Suppress (No Drill-Down)Â Then, enter drilldowngrouplevel >1. This should do the trick if you have your report structured this way. If not, please provide a little more detail.
Thanks and good luck.

How do I add an event in Calendar for weekdays only?

Installing Software for Groups of User Accounts

What is the best way to install software such as Photoshop plug-ins so you only have to enter the serial number once but allow that apply to all users in a group?
I created 3 accounts - 2 admin, 1 standard - and would like to be able to install software for all of them at one time.
Thanks for any feedback.

Yeah, and that design of OSX has been around a decade now. It is just plain selfishness on the part of the developers to make it as hard as possible for multiple users on one computer to use software. I guess they think it helps prevent piracy, but it only seems to alienate customers and promote their own selfishness. Last time I checked I thought people are given licenses based on one computer at a time. 500 people cannot use one computer at a time, so why does it matter if other users have access to the same software. The point is it is all so pointless.

10.7.4 Web Access for Active Directory Users

Does anyone know how to permantly set the AuthType in Web Services to Basic ?
The reason I ask is I have a web site I want to protect and allow active directory users access to it.
I have added the users to a local group, added the group to the Who Can Access option.
Local users can log in but not Active Directory. If I edit the conf file for the site in /etc/apache2/sites and change the AuthType from Digist to Basic it works fine until I change something in the server app then the conf file gets rewritten.

Can I use different colours for the different user accounts in my iCal?

I have my own iCal and one for my boss. I need our appointments to show up in different colours so that I can tell at a glance which are mine and which are his. Currently our appointments show up on the same calendar, on top of each other, and both are coloured red.
Can I change the colour of one of us?

Thanks. If there are other people invited to the appointment it comes up with this
So I don't want to 'move' it or cancel the original appointment. is there another way I can, for example, have my boss's appointments all come up green and mine all come up blue......

User Web Calendars?

On Leopard Server, are there user web calendars that are accessible or are the web calendars for groups only?

Thanks for the heads up. It would be very convenient especially for our iPhone users who haven't had a chance to sync recently but helpful to our group in many other situations as well.
Thank you.

Enabling calendaring for a user or group not working

Am having an issue getting ical server/sharing and webcalandars working. Think it is all related.
First a description of my server environs. One xserve acting as OD master, fileserver, vpn, DNS and DHCP server as well. Second xserve acting as DNS, mail, web and ical server. Second server is OD replica.
DNS is working. All OD functions including kerberos are working. Mail and webmail are working as well.
The hostname in iCal Server Admin settings is the FQDN of my second xserve. icalxserve.domain.com. I can start iCal. Then I get this error in the logs:
twistedcaldav.directory.appleopendirectory.OpenDirectoryInitError: Open Directory has no /Computers records with a virtual hostname: icalxserve.domain.com
Remember this server is a OD replica. It is listed in the Computers pane under Workgroup Manager and its name is server.domain.com$. All the computers have $ at the end so I assume this is normal. All services are set for access from all users in Server Admin -> server -> Access. In Server Admin Web -> Sites -> (default site highlighted) Web Services webmail, wiki and blog and web calendaring are all checked as well. I have also tried to enable wiki and blog and web calendar for groups in Workgroup Manager. The only choices in the pop up are none and wiki host for domain.com. Strange.
I cannot enable calendaring for any user. I check the Enable calendaring box under Advanced in the Accounts pane in Workgroup Manager and no server is listed in the pop up menu. It only reads No calendar host selected without any other choices. It should show me icalxserve.domain.com.
When I goto http://icalxserve.domain.com site I get the default homepage and webmail works. If I click on the Groups button I see the 2 groups I have enabled services for. But when I click on the groupname I get the following error page:
Not Found
404: No group with that name (thomas) hosted on this server
Not sure what to do next. OD doesn't seem to be working like I would expect. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Please note I am posting this late on Sunday night and have jury duty tomorrow. I will obviously try to check back as soon as I can but maybe not until Monday night. Thanks again.

Hi
+"I don't see this option. Am I doing doing something wrong?"+
Your Rider seems to indicate 10.6? If you're not seeing this option in WorkGroup Manager I'm guessing you're using 10.6 Server? In which case you've posted in the wrong forum with a question that's not applicable anymore. Apple removed those options in 10.6. Another possibility is you're trying to manage a 10.5 Server using 10.6 Server Admin Tools and it's giving unpredictable results? The Server Administration Applications cab behave oddly if you're trying use a newer version on an older server. You should use the version of the Tools that came with the Server.
The 10.6 iCal Server Admin Manual is here:

Can't enable calendaring for some users in WGM

10.5.6 server
OD set up and working fine
I'm trying to get going with iCal server for the first time
The 3 accounts that I initially enabled for calendaring seem to work fine, but now I can't add any more. If I enable calendaring for a user in WGM and save the record, if I go to another record and then back to the one I changed, I see that calendaring is disabled for that user.
It continues to work for the initial 3 users.
iCal server error log did have some messages about "Record disabled due to conflict: <OpenDirectoryRecord..........."
I read on another post that this indicates a problem with duplicate UIDs/GIDs
I found one each UID ad GID that were both duplicated in local and LDAP records, so I changed those in WGM. On top of that I found that groups "Open Director Users" and "Open Directory Administrators" had the same GIDs in both local and LDAP domains, but guessed that I had better leave these alone. There are no other duplicate UIDs or GIDs.
Stop and start iCal server.
Problem remains.
Any ideas please?
Many thanks......

Dear All,
I have the same problem, i can't active the 'web calendaring' for groups and for users, the checkbox 'enable calendaring' don't stay checked if i close and open the workgroup manager...
Someone has a solution?
