Correct. We had to use three different accounts in 10.9. One for the Private. One for our Public "Staff". One for the Public "Main". > > Don't mix ups 'groups' and 'addressbooks', two different things.

Otherwise, all 4000+ records on an iPhone can't be turned "off" within Mail and Messages unlike in Contacts. Users can drag vcards from the Public Main to their Private and create a group specifically for their iPhones if they need some of those records from the Public Main. > >> However, on iPhones is there a way to install just the Private and Staff on >> an >> iPhone?

Doesn't work. iPhone ignores it and defaults back to the principal. So we only related staff to the principal so Public Main never shows up on iPhone. If we could have used the entire URL for the Public Main and installed separetely on iPhone in settings it could be turned "off" so it doesn't show up in Mail, Messages and Contacts until a user needed to search the Public Main. Then they turn on in settings, get what they need and turn back off. > > If this doesn't work, I would try whether it might work with a profile > (https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/featuredarticles/iPhoneConfigurationProfileRef/Introduction/Introduction.html). > Might be that this invokes a different flow, which considers the explicit > URL. > > If this still doesn't work, you need to hack the server and add a User-Agent > check :-) > Or file a SOGo enhancement request, for something like: > defaults write ...
