Re: uid uniqueness

If you have two entries with the same UID then you don't know which one it'll pick.. so when you search for a user during free busy you don't know if it'll return the user account or a group.. Same thing when doing ACLs..

I would recommend strongly against doing this... even if DarwinCalendar server does have some way to determine which to pick.. it'll only cause confusion to humans down the line.

Ahh..... these are taken from the user & groups in the OS, and the OS has NO limit on this, so UID is only uniqe within each part: Users & Groups.

There is nothing stopping you from having a 'admin' user AND a 'admin' group.

Actually, OS X does this aaaaallllll.. the time!

Yes I could start from command line and I have made a launchd item. After installing the stable version 2.3 I could make the necessary changes to the run script and after correcting the path in the launchd item (~/Kalender/CalendarServer-2.3/) and the permissions now the server starts up when I log in and everything is fine!
Thank you very much for your help!

FWIW, I had a pre-existing debian-based server in my house, and I use
the debian calendar server packages. They work just fine, and I sync
all my macs and two iphones to it.

When I started using it, it was not easy to set up distinct users in
the cal server without using LDAP or some directory service, and that
was too complicated for my purposes. So, instead, I created one user,
and several calendars under that user, with each person in the family
having a calendar. Yes, that means that everybody in the family can
edit anybody else's calendar, but that's okay for now.

I can't speak for their motivation, but I'm certainly pleased that
they provide it.

You can start correctly from the command line with no trouble? Have
you made a launchd item before? About the only thing you need to be
careful about is >> redirection and pipes and such:

appame >> some_log_file.txt
appname | grep foo >> some_log_file.txt

Both those are problematic and will need special care.

Otherwise, you jsut take your command that works in the shell, and set
it in a plist, set your start schedile etc. Look to Lingon to make it
dead easy to make on your own.

I would do something like
cd /path/to/DCS; ./run -d
That is the command, there will be about 10 more lines to control a
few other things, but Lingon can put them all in for you.

Or, as I most often do, use an existing plist as a template, make a
copy, and load it in.

My understanding is that the DCS in OS X Server is the same as that at
calendarserver.org, BUT the version in OS X Server is a nice stable
release and its shipped with some nice GUI management utilities (which
are unavailable for the source version).

DCS at calendarserver.org can run on Linux, or on Mac OS X if you
can't afford the server version of OS X.

If you have access to OS X Server I don't see why you'd install it
manually from calendarserver.org instead.

My opinion / perception: the calendarserver.org version would be great
for Linux users / sys admins if someone packaged it properly, but
that's obviously not something that Apple are interested in providing.
I believe there may be some Debian packages, but I don't know how good
they are. I'm not really clear WHY Apple provide the
calendarserver.org open-source version, because it seems fairly
clearly like it's not intended to be an easy solution for end users,
and all I read here is of people having pain with it.

I would be glad to be corrected by other list members if I've
misunderstood the situation.

OS X Server vs Darwin Calendar Server and my first DCS installation

2009-11-21T14:53:11Z

Can someone list the pros and cons of using DCS versus using the built
in calender server on OS X Server on Snow Leopard?

Or are they the same source perhaps?

I am looking for basic family based calendar serving and sharing,
simple stuff.

I did get trunk working last night. Quite easy really. The details
you enter into iCal were a bit tricky to discover, but once past that,
it did seem to work.

My limitations were not knowing where to deal with adding users and
setting their permissions, but I also did not dig into it in any
significant way.

One thing I noticed, is I synced the default admin account with a
local mac and an iPhone as my test case.

Changes and additions to the local mac, importing of pre-existing
calendars etc, all worked flawlessly and fast.

Making a change on iPhone and syncing, with a forced refresh in iCal
on the desktop, propogated on refresh.

iPhone on the other hand did not. I am not seeing any way in calendar
on iPhone to force a refresh. Eventually the changes make their way,
what defines this?

Does DCS support push notifications out to iPhones?

I added attendees which made it to all clients eventually, however,
iPhone also did not recognize them as existing users in my address
book, though they were there. Names showed as "uid:user" or something
to that effect. (that literal string)

Attached files were not anywhere obvious in iPhone either. All other
fields seemed to have parity.

This was with a trunk snapshot from last night. Are my issues 3.x
related, or am I missing something obvious?

On DCS, when an alert is set to notify via email, does this rely on
the local MTA on the DCS machine, or is there an in built mailer I
will need to SMTP authenticate with, or is the client responsible for
the mail notifications?

For alerts, on remote clients such as iPhone, anything special I need
to set up, or is making sure a reasonable refresh rate is defined in
iCal sufficient?

I've tried a lot of ways to do this, the gmail middleman dance, looked
at busycal, some php messes, and a few more.

My first try a few weeks ago was DCS, but I never could get iCal to
talk to it. Which was just needing the URL to have the URI bits
attached. Maybe the wiki could use some edits there? Can I make such
edits, or is that private?

If the answer is that OS X Server is the same, I may go that way for
integration simplicity. If not, I'd like to start work on a MacPorts
Portfile for DCS.

Has any effort into a MacPorts Portfile been made in the past, seems I
must be missing it, being in the same "forge" and all :)

MacPorts likes to sandbox to it's own prefix very strongly, perhaps
that, meaning a full blown new python install and source modification
to all paths has something to do with the port never being made. I am
betting every -s bit is going to need touching by MacPorts as well.

Any past history with regard to MacPorts and DCS would be appreciated.

Thanks all.

Re: Available Features using XMLDirectoryService?

2009-11-19T05:22:10Z

well the way I do it (For my family calendar)... is this...

1. create a user to hold the calendar and don't share the passwd..

<user>
<uid>shared-calendar-user</uid>
<guid>98714-12349817234-12341234-12341234</guid>
<password>secured</password>
<name>Family Calendars</name>
<first-name>Family</first-name>
<last-name></last-name>
<cuaddr>mailto:family@...</cuaddr>
<proxies>
<member type="groups">alluser</member>
</proxies>
</user>

2. create the group "alluser"

<group>
<uid> alluser </uid>
<guid>38475234-23452345-23452345-13554</guid>
<password>doesn't matter</password>
<name>All people</name>
<members>
<member type="users">user1</member>
<member type="users">user2</member>
</members>
</group>
<group>

Job done..

Guy-

I had tried this a while ago, but failed and gave up. But it's been
nagging me ever since. HOW do you delegate out the company-wide
calendar?

Thanks

All it really means is that adding/removing users requires a restart.

nope they are maintained elsewhere (in the users own calendar data objects) and are persistent across restarts etc.

yup very simple... the company wide calendar you have a few choices on how to set it up.

1. just create a user account and delegate it out.
2. create it as a resource and delegate it out.

You can either setup the delegation inside the accounts.xml file or using ical. I have to say ical 10.6 (snow leopard) works much better at handling delegates etc.

On the iphone you'll have to create multiple accounts (using same credentials), one for each delegate you want to see, you then change the URL to point to the delegate.

Available Features using XMLDirectoryService?

2009-11-19T03:41:03Z

Hello!

I am new to this list and interested in running the Darwin Calendar
Server for a small company.

We'd need a setup like this:

4 user accounts:

1 boss
1 secretary
2 employees

Have 1 personal calendar for each of the 4 users.
1 company wide shared group calendar where all of the 4 persons have
read/write access.
The secretary has read/write access to boss’ personal calendar.

Calendar Clients are Apple iCal from 10.5. and 10.6 as well as the
iPhone client.

My questions are (after installing DCS and playing with accounts.xml):

How do I configure above scenario? Is it possible at all?

Do I need a specific release (build) version of the DCS to accomplish
this?

Is the accounts.xml rewritten by the server when a user assigns a new
delegate in iCal?

Why is accounts.xml as it is? I'd expect a calendar server to have
calendars as first class objects. Instead, there are users which seem
to have one (one one?) implicit calendar.

Thanks,
Dirk

off topic: Zideone status

2009-11-16T07:17:19Z

ZideOne made a very nice CalDAV plugin for Outlook on Windows that works just fine
with Calendar Server.

But recently, the project seems to have frozen.

See:

http://www.zideone.com/
http://twitter.com/zideone

Their mailinglist does not seem to propagate anymore too,
so this is why I'm asking here.

Does anyone know what is happening? It would be a pity if this work gets lost.

General Calendar Server

2009-11-16T01:03:38Z

I have been looking at this project on and off for far too long, it is
time for me to figure it out.

I tried playing the dance with gmail and sync, but I would like a more
complete and full solution. Pretty much what comes in OS X Server, so
I can share and collaborate calendars.

Is this the same calendar server that is in Snow Leopard Server now?

I have personally never been able to get it to work, it does build and
install, but I was never able to connect to anything other than the
web admin pages.

I can and will post details on that, but first wanted to be sure I was
even on the correct path. I still have an option of buying a new Mac
Mini Server since they are pretty much throwing in the OS, which would
give me my calendaring solutions I need as well as a bit more.

Thank you.

CalendarServer

2009-10-13T03:58:25Z

Hi, sorry for the cross-posting.

I'm trying to compile CalendarServer and it has a script which get
Twisted from subversion here:

svn.twistedmatrix.com/svn/Twisted/branches/dav-take-two-3081-4

Also if I try to get latest SVN of Twisted as says in the page
http://svn.twistedmatrix.com/ I get the following error:

~$ svn co svn://svn.twistedmatrix.com/svn/Twisted/trunk Twisted
svn: Cannot be possible to connect to 'svn.twistedmatrix.com': time
connection expired

Is it subversion up there ?? is there to access in another way ?? Am I
doing something wrong ??

Thanks.

Fernando.

I had this problem also with the debian package in squeeze and I thought
it was dued to the number of users I had, more than 3 thousand however
it happends the same with few users.

I saw the package was a very old version of CalendarServer (1.2) and I
decided to compile the subversion trunk what it was very hard but at
least, after more than a week I could do it (I had to download a couple
of things manually, ez_setup and Twisted, if someone need more details
how I do it let me know). However in the 2.2 and 2.3 versions and also
in the svn trunk there is not possibility to use groups
(http://trac.calendarserver.org/ticket/330 ) something I don't
understand and which is very important for me and right now I'm stopped
for this reason.

Regards,

Fernando.

Re: PyKerberos and FreeBSD

2009-10-12T20:55:35Z

I found that Roy Hooper's instruction that doesn't work for me. I found same problem as you.

The cause of the problem is FreeBSD has its own kerberos so when the script setup.py execute commands.getoutput("krb5-config --libs gssapi") and

commands.getoutput("krb5-config --cflags gssapi") it call FreeBSD's krb5-config instead call the command that you installed from kerberos's port.


There are 2 solution.

1. Set your path like this,

PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH
2. Modify your setup.py to

commands.getoutput("/usr/local/bin/krb5-config --libs gssapi")

commands.getoutput("/usr/local/bin/krb5-config --cflags gssapi")

I hope this can help you.

svn co http://svn.calendarserver.org/repository/calendarserver/CalendarServer/trunk CalendarServer -r3721
svn co http://svn.calendarserver.org/repository/calendarserver/PyKerberos/trunk PyKerberos -r3721

After that I followed the usual steps for FreeBSD writen by Roy Hooper that are working for r3720 and my current r3443.
I'm not sure there's a problem in the code, I maybe can configure PyKerberos differently but don't know where to start.

While testing the last release I found several problems, the one reported by Lars N. Cleemann : http://www.mail-archive.com/calendarserver-users@.../msg01293.html
and another.

On r3721 ( http://trac.calendarserver.org/changeset/3721/ ) I have a problem with PyKerberos on FreeBSD 7.0, here are the logs from an interactive ./run :

./run
Using python as Python

exec python /usr/local/new_calendar/Twisted/bin/twistd -n caldav -f /usr/local/new_calendar/CalendarServer/conf/caldavd-dev.plist -o ProcessType=Combined

ImportError: /usr/local/new_calendar/PyKerberos/build/lib.freebsd-7.0-RELEASE-i386-2.5/kerberos.so: Undefined symbol "gss_nt_service_name"

I made this "test" with a clean folder and the following 2 commands :

svn co http://svn.calendarserver.org/repository/calendarserver/CalendarServer/trunk CalendarServer -r3721
svn co http://svn.calendarserver.org/repository/calendarserver/PyKerberos/trunk PyKerberos -r3721

After that I followed the usual steps for FreeBSD writen by Roy Hooper that are working for r3720 and my current r3443.
I'm not sure there's a problem in the code, I maybe can configure PyKerberos differently but don't know where to start.

Thanks for your help,

How did you install Kerberos onto this system? looks to me like it's
missing a library or something. Maybe try recompiling/installing
kerbos for python.

Re: Calendarserver thru bouygtelecom

2009-10-12T05:31:25Z

Maybe not related, but bouygues telecom has a relative same issue with our mail service.
People owning iPhones can't connect through BouyguesTelecom service (I have opened several ports for imap/smtp to test).

They have no problem through WIFI or webmail (http).

I think you should run a test on port 80 as it is an http request.

Guy a écrit :

Not sure why you mean. What's the full host name?

How have you configured your iPhone client?

When your on WIFI whose network are you using. Are you sure your going where you think you are?

Hello,
I got an iPhone and m'y provider is bouygtelecom. (France)
Ports 8008 and 8443 seams to be open at bouygtel, but the iPhone Ask for the password everytime, and it never works..

When connecting on wifi with the same iPhone, it works with no problem.

Any idea ?

Re: roadmap for new calendarserver release

2009-10-11T07:37:56Z

I've been looking at building an RPM for centos. The issue I've found
is making sure python is the right version. In the end I put a
version of python into my RPM package. This of course makes the RPM
very big and hard to maintain.

Currently it seems the best way is to follow the installation
documentation which is not complicated and can then be modified for
specific requirements.

roadmap for new calendarserver release

2009-10-11T06:34:57Z

Hello everybody,

Would somebody be willing to make official release tar-ball for the
latest reasonable stable svn version of the calendarserver.

I can't find any new releases on the calendarserver website, and it has
indeed been more then a year since distributions could updated there
version of calendarserver.

I would love to stay using calendarserver, and regular releases are
required for this, so the the packaging maintainters can provide the end
users with the latest versions.

Thanks in advance,

Jelle

Yeah I ran that version too for a short time, but realised that it's
not currently being maintained. The build is over 1 year old.

Although I usually agree with you on this point, because Darwin
calendar is in suck flux and the Debian build doesn't seem to have
been maintained for sometime (nearly a year) I think you might be
coming up against an issue which has long since been fixed in trunk.

I've written some very simple instructions which document how to
install Darwin from source in Centos here: http://www.rho.cc/index.php/linux2/48-misc/48-installing-darwin-calendar-server-on-centos-5
