Any takers on a little clarification on delegation and how it works? Like I said, I'm happy to write up some newbie documentation once I have a better understanding of how this works...

I have followed this configuration and have gotten delegates to show up
and I can write to a calendar as a delegate, but how can I set the
calendar owner to see the changes/entries made by a delegate who has been provided access? I'm also confused as to why I need to provide the name
and password in the location block in addition to the user block?

Also, how does the "manage access to my account" GUI config supposed to work? Does this allow defining proxy users? Does it work with the flat
file plist/XML files?

Sorry for the dumb questions, I'll be happy to write this up once I have
an understanding of this, for the benefit of others :)

The bottom line is iCal's delegate UI won't work with the XML configuration option right now, as iCal requires a directory system to lookup user data.

With the XMl config you can do this: manually configure delegates in the file via the <proxies> element as you have done. Then create a new CalDAV account in iCal using the delegate's user/pswd, but set the server address to the principal-URL of the location or resource (you will have to lookup the GUIDs for those via Safari). I believe if you do that you will see the resource/location calendars in the new account and will have the appropriate delegate access to them.



Is there anyway you could elaborate on what you mean here? Firstly, what would be gained by doing what you are describing as opposed to simply setting up access to the other user's calendars without using the delegates feature? Are you saying to basically figure out what the URL would be for where the owner's/principal's calendar resides, and enter this into ICal? Could one do this without knowing the other user's user/pass? Could you provide me with an example?

Could you dumb this down a little? So sorry to have to ask this :)
