Hi MJ!

Thank you very much for your detailed reply.

I think that I made the mistake not to replace the %Name% string in

https://myserver.mydomain.mytld/SOGo/dav/public/%Name%/freebusy.ifb

by the real username. I assumed that this variable will be resolved automatically.

Your way to write it made very clear that it had to be replaced manually:

https://myserver.mydomain.mytld/SOGo/dav/public/username/freebusy.ifb

The test with the webbrowser shows that the freebusy.ifb file will be generated without any issue.

Could you tell me if you are also running Thunderbird Lightning clients in your environment? I'm wondering if the Freebusy lookup will work between users using Thunderbird Lightning and Outlook users because the mail clients use different mechanisms for it.

Best regards
Armin

Hi Armin,

I have just checked, and it seems to work here, Outlook 2016, imap mode, with the freebuzy url configured.

Just for the record: you don't need the CalDAV synchonizer for this config. The freebuzy lookup works of the provided .ifb url.

Perhaps the CalDAV Synchronizer is getting in the way?

The file freebusy.ifb is nowhere on your system, as it is generated dynamically on the fly by SOGo, specific for each user's freebuzy info. So no: don't create it.

Suppose you invite username@mydomain.mytld, try access in a browser:

https://myserver.mydomain.mytld/SOGo/dav/public/username/freebusy.ifb

It should give you the generated file with freebuzy info.

(note the matching mydomain.mytld in the url and the email address)

Best,
MJ

Hi!

FreeBusy lookups with Outlook do not work in my environment (black-white hatched bar which indicates that the FreeBusy info is not available). The environment consists of the following:

- Server: SOGo 4.3.1

- E-Mail-Client: Outlook 2016 (16.0.11929.20836)

- CalDAV Synchronizer: 3.8.0.0

I followed this guide https://sogo.nu/files/docs/SOGoOutlookConnectorConfigurationGuide.html and can confirm that synchronisation of both personal SOGo calendar and SOGo global address book work fine.

In the SOGo config file sogo.conf I added the following FreeBusy related lines and restarted the sogod service:

SOGoEnablePublicAccess = YES;
SOGoFreeBusyDefaultInterval = (7, 365);

In Outlook's FreeBusy settings I entered the URL https://myserver.mydomain.mytld/SOGo/dav/public/%Name%/freebusy.ifb accordingly (path for publication and lookup path).

I was wondering where the file called "freebusy.ifb" would be located on the SOGo server and searched its entire filesystem, but couldn't detect it. Do I have to create it manually as an empty file and if so, where would I have to create it exactly (local path on the server)?

Regarding the users personal calendars' sharing settings I configured them for public access with "See Date & Time" by the SOGo WebGUI.

Apparently the above mentioned configuration guide is not complete. Sth. is missing there.

Could so. point me into the right direction, please?

Maybe the first thing to clarify is whether the file called "freebusy.ifb" has to be created manually.

Thank you very much!

BTW: FreeBusy lookup using Thunderbird Lightning works perfectly.

Kind regards
Armin
