[chandler-users] Instructions on how to "bind" Chandler to iCal Server (Leopard iCal Server)

[Jeffrey Harris]

Hi Barry,

> Can Chandler connect and bind to a Mac OSX Leopard 10.5.4 iCal Server?

There are a few known issues with Chandler's CalDAV support.  First off, 
CalDAV and recurrence had some issues in our 1.0 release, so there's a 
testing build of 1.0 with CalDAV changes available at

http://builds.osafoundation.org/chandler/snapshots/caldav-1.0/

> If the iCal URL to connect to the server is:

> http://steelecal.partners.org:8008/principals/users/steelecalendar/
> 
> How to I setup Chandler to connect to it?  Does it connect to the same 
> URL or a different entry point (like what Sunbird does)

Unfortunately we don't currently have code that checks for calendar 
property on a principal, which means Chandler won't be able to find the 
calendar from that URL.  You'll need to use the actual calendar URL, see 
http://trac.calendarserver.org/wiki/Chandler

Finally, Calendar Server's default is to require digest authentication, 
which Chandler doesn't currently support.  You can turn this requirement 
off (and go with Basic auth) but I'm not sure how this is done.

Hope this works out for you!  We haven't done much with CalDAV in 
Chandler recently, so we'd love to hear how this goes.

Sincerely,
Jeffrey
