Zarafa and caldav
« on: May 14, 2010, 03:39:29 AM »
After following the wiki for Zarafa, I have a working install on an SME8B5 test server.  Zarafa works well in both LDAP and db mode in SME8b5 so far in my testing.  What is not working is the caldav support.  I am unable to add calendars to outlook, or view through Apple.   Has anyone else worked with the smeserver-zarafa contrib and install and been successful with the caldav application?  If I can get the CalDav working and Blackberry BES server configured for it, we will have a great production capable contender for exchange.  I get no errors in the zarafa logs or the messages log that coincide with the time I'm trying to attach to caldav.

As a side note, the http://wiki.contribs.org/LDAP wiki states the LDAP is read only in SME8b5.  Will it always be read only or will there be validity in making it read write for other applications such as zarafa with ldap authentication?

For the part of creating users and changing password I think it will be read-only as users created and passwords that are changed need to somehow be synced with other parts of the system that are/might not be LDAP capable or aware.

I've got caldav working with Thunderbrid and Lightning... only from the local LAN though. As far as i can remember it just worked.

We are using the contrib smeserver-mod_dav-0.1-18.el4.sme and set it accordingly for the ibay that we use to host the shared calendars:
db accounts show srv_calendars           
srv_calendars=ibay
..snip..
    ModDav=enabled
    ModDav-FileETag=none
..snip..
