TB -> TB-2008-01-CALDAV

Overview

Scalix 11.3 introduces support for CalDAV-enabled calendaring clients; while CalDAV is based on an open Internet standard (RFC4791), implementations vary. This document maintains currently known issues and limitations with specific clients when used with Scalix as well as instructions on how to set them up.

Apple iCal

Overview

Apple's iCal client is CalDAV-enabled in Mac OS/X 10.5 (Leopard). This is version 3.x of iCal; previous versions only handle local calendars or can download a Webcal-Feed; while the latter also alows the client to download/read a Scalix calendar, CalDAV is needed to be able to modify calendar items.

Setup

1. To add a CalDAV account to iCal, go to "iCal->Preferences->Accounts" and press the "+" button:

2. In the resulting screen

TB-2008-01-CALDAV-iCal-AddAccount-02.png

enter the following information:
Description: a freely chosen description for your account
Username: your Scalix server username
Password: - your Scalix server password
Account URL: - The URL for the Scalix CalDAV server. this is always of the form 

http://<servername>/api/dav/Principals/<UserID>/

where <servername> is the fully-qualified hostname of your Scalix server or the IP address, and <UserID> is the users primary email address in original case.
