To get the calendar server to send push notifications, first set up an account
within openfire that the calendar server will use to log in to XMPP with.
Next, edit your calendar server .plist file and fill in the XMPP account
information into the "Notifications > Services > XMPPNotifier section. In
there you'll want to set "Enabled" to "<true/>", and fill in the "Host",
"Port", "JID", "Password", and "ServiceAddress" values. "Host" is the XMPP
server name, "Port" is 5222 unless you've changed that in openfire. "JID"
should be set to the Jabber ID you set up for calendar server within openfire,
e.g. "calendarser...@example.com". For "ServiceAddress", use "pubsub."
prepended to your "Host" name, e.g. "pubsub.example.com". Restart calendar
server and it should then connect to your openfire server. See calendar
server's error.log for any connection/authentication errors. You can watch all
the XMPP traffic between calendar server and openfire by inserting this to your
cale
ndar server .plist:
<key>LogLevels</key>
<dict>
<key>twistedcaldav.notify</key>
<string>debug</string>
</dict>
That will let you know whether push is working between calendar server and the
XMPP server.
Once you've got that much working, you can bring up an iCal client and go into
the account preferences. You may need to relaunch the iCal client so that it
detects that the calendar server now supports push notifications. There should
now be a "push" option in the "refresh calendars" drop-down in the iCal account
preferences.
