Finally, I gave up for the moment. It seems scheduling with DCS +Lightning just does not work as it should.

As long as Lightning is used by the organized of an event, everything works nicely (after enabling caldav scheduling). But when getting an invitation, Lightning is just not able to recognize the user in the attendee list. This seems to be due to the urn-Scheme used by DCS, because hacking the ics-file in the attendees inbox can fix that. (There has also been a discussion on the dev-list - most caldav servers seem to use email addresses instead of urn-s).

Although mentioning only Lightning, I also tried Sunbird (latest release and nightly builds). After all it seems this is more a client- side problem.

Are there any Linux clients that work with DCS and also support scheduling at all?

Markus

After some more web searches and experiments…

CALDAV support in Lightning 0.9 is quite incomplete. Lightning 1.0pre is slightly better, but still not complete and quite unstable. So internal inbox/outbox scheduling should not be expected to work for now.

For iCal I noticed that it
1) uses SOME email account for sending replies, but not the one the invitation was sent from 2) uses the email address given in the Addressbook, not of the invited attendee

After getting that as desired, also iCal reply end up with
exceptions.AttributeError: 'DirectoryPrincipalResource' object has no attribute 'calendarUserAddresses'

I'd really like to know if others have the same error message or if iMIP is working for them without problems.

Hello!

I'm trying to configure DCS on openSUSE 10.3 for a mixed Linux/ MacOS environment using XML file authentication.

There is few information available about DCS / Lightning interoperability. It seems Lightning does not processing scheduling requests in the scheduling inbox on the server, and does not send invitations through DCS either. Was someone sucessful in getting that working, or is that not yet supported in Lighning?

I got the iMIP scheduling in DCS only partially working: Known users are asked internally (for iCal, see above), and external users get an invitation email. Problems arise when DCS tries interpreting and injecting email replies. I use the builtin mail templates and have enabled plus-addressing on the mail server. I've added an entry to the XML file for the com.apple.calendarserver and the respective GUID to the »principals with "DAV:all" access«.


Depending on the client (both most recent version) I use to create the reply email I get the following errors:

After adding an cuaddr to the calender user entry, I also got errors when trying to schedule an event. 2009-04-19 10:58:58+0200 [-] [caldav-8081] File "/srv/ CalendarServer/vdisk/CalendarServer/twistedcaldav/directory/ directory.py", line 298, in __init__ 2009-04-19 10:58:58+0200 [-] [caldav-8081] assert len(calendarUserAddresses) == 0 2009-04-19 10:58:58+0200 [-] [caldav-8081] exceptions.AssertionError:
