-The Calendar Server needs to be able to obtain information about the users,
groups and resources ("principals") which access and/or have a presence on the
server.
-
-== About principals ==
-
-All principals have a "principal resource" on the server which represents the
principal in the form of an HTTP resource. This is useful for obtaining
information about a principal, such as the location of the principal's calendar
home, the principal's members and/or memberships, and so on. This information
is exposed via WebDAV properties on the principal resource.
-
-All principals can be used to configure access controls for resources on the
server by granting or denying various privileges to the principal.
-
-Principals are also given a calendar home collection on the server, in which
the principal may have one or more calendar collections, as well as special
collections which allow the principals to schedule meetings with each other,
etc.
-
-== The role of a directory service ==
-
-A "directory service" is simply an entity which the server can ask for a list
of principal types, a list of principals for a given type, and various
information about an individual principal. Directory services are
interchangeable, allowing the server to obtain this information from a variety
of data store, such as configuration files or network directory systems such as
LDAP.
-
-The directory service used by the server is configured in the `caldavd.plist`
file by specifying the directory service implementation to use and it's options
as a dictionary, provided as the value to the `DirectoryService` key:
-
-{{{
-<key>DirectoryService</key>
-<dict>
- <key>type</key>
- <string>ExampleService</string>
-
- <key>params</key>
- <dict>
- <key>option</key>
- <string>value</string>
- </dict>
-</dict>
-}}}
-
-== Available implementations ==
-
-The following directory service implementations are presently available:
-
- * [wiki:XMLDirectoryService XMLDirectoryService]:
- this service is configurable via an XML file that contains principal
information.
-
- * [wiki:OpenDirectoryService OpenDirectoryService]:
- this service uses OpenDirectory (which in turn uses LDAP, Active Directory,
etc.)
- to obtain principal information.
-
- * [wiki:ApacheDirectoryService BasicDirectoryService and
DigestDirectoryService]:
- these services are configurable using configuration files in the same
formats
- as used by the Apache HTTP server, allowing you to use the same user/group
setup
- as a separately-running Apache server.
