ical via webcal in Scalix 11

[klopfer]

I just installed scalix 11 preview on a fresh rhel server.

Things seem to be operating ok (though I had to reinstall the postgresql component to get that to work properly) with one exception. I can't access ical subscriptions, which from what I have read should be accessible at http://server.com/webcal. It just gives a 404 not found. The webmail, sac and mobile components work just fine.

I don't seem to be getting an errors in the scalix logs.

I looked in the webapps directory and there is nothing named webcal there.

Any idea what went wrong or how to correct it?

Thanks.

Scalix 11 can do a lot more.

Please check http://my.scalix.server/api/docs for details on full functionality for scalix messaging services.

to get data as webcal, just use the following URL

http://my.scalix.server/api/name@domain ... utput=ical

Note that by replacing the name /Calendar with the actual folder name, you can now access ANY folder as a welcal - this didn't use to be the case previously.

The new URL is actually

http://my.scalix.server/api/name@domain ... l/Calendar

Will you be able to access shared/public caledars via this method, or just ones tied to accounts (like /webcal)?

[florian]

yes.

The URL syntax for this is something like:

http://server/api/user@domain/mailbox/P ... utput=ical

to access a subfolder called "Drei Kalender" in the top-level Public folder "Projekt1"

Neat. Thanks Florian

Question I must ask. We have some macintosh users on the network and I'm trying to get all my answers right before I have to teach them what to do. I'm using evolution (since it supports ical and I don't have a mac). I know the scalix side of things is working since the url: http://gateway/api/t.boss@domain.com/ma ... utput=ical gives me a file after I punch in the username and password.

When I try to create a new calendar, pointing at the url (removing the "http://" so the final target is: webcal://gateway/api/t.boss@elisen.com/ ... utput=ical) and checking off the "secure connection" option...it comes back with a window repeating the url and saying "unauthorized". I presume this is because it's not asking me for the username/password for the calendar for t.boss@domain.com

I know I have access to a connector for evolution so I don't need to worry about this, but what are the mac users to do? Will the macintosh ical program ask for the username and password? If not this file will have to be manually downloaded and re-imported all the time which will be quite a pain.

I've also read about some improvement to scalix to support caldev or something better for calendars in Q1 or Q2 of this year...any updates or pages I can read on it? If scalix won't work to their satisfaction now, I'd like to at least have some answers about when it might.

It seems to work ok on iCal if you use webcal://gateway/api/t.boss@domain.com/ ... utput=ical . You will get a prompt for a username and password, followed by (in my case anyway) a dialog box asking you to enter the Calendar name and some options about removing alarms.

I haven't been able to get any dialog box to pop up and ask me for a username/password. Are you using evolution? What version?

Sorry, bit of a mix up on my part; I was just referring to iCal on the Mac. I'll have a poke around with Evolution later (I have Ubuntu in another partition on my powerbook so I'll test it there)

I just tested it on a mac...worked perfectly. Thanks!

I'm having problems with this as well.

Whenever I try to use the correct link for my domain, Scalix wants me to authenticate, but the message is very strange.

Enter username and password for "users" as http://scalix.example.com/

Users have been complaining about webmail, basically it never loads for anyone the first time. The thing is, in one of the tomcat logs, I've been seeing messages about this "users" authentication thing. I'm guessing this is related.

I have exactly the same problem as joako.
