If the sharee signs up for a Cosmo Account, how difficult is it
for us to store the Collection Password with the Account? I
realized I was assuming that sharees wouldn't need to enter the
password if they login with an account, but that wasn't made
explicit in the write-up.
I'll defer to Brian or Bobby on the difficulty of storing
collection passwords with accounts.
I do have a different question though. My use of Chandler involves
me running the desktop client to update my calendar and then
sharing those calendars via iCal. I have two iCal scenarios.
1. Julie is using iCal as her calendar at home and I want her to
view my work calendar so that she knows when I have phone calls
scheduled.
2. I subscribe to all my Calendars in iCal because iCal can sync my
calendars to my phone.
What happens to clients like iCal, etc if we password protect
collections or if we require accounts in order to access calendar
collections?
iCal already will show you a username/password dialog if the server
returns a 401 (Unauthorized) response when you try to subscribe. So
long as Cosmo returns a 401 (and not a redirect to an HTML form),
things should work.
