Lion Server iCal Location/Resource Calendar

caldavicalserver.app

I have a Lion Server with iCal enabled.

Trying to set up some location and resource calendars, accessing them from Ubuntu clients, how can I work out the URL of these calendars?

I have worked it out for a user already (http://lions:8008/calendars/users/user123/calendar/), is there a way perhaps to see URLs on the server?

In iCal create a calendar entry with your resource or location in the invitation. Select the resource and click on the disclosure (the downward pointing triangle). Choose "Copy Invitee Address", your clipboard will have the uuid (unique id) of the resource, something like:

urn:uuid:0d426b70-8294-41a7-8b34-c2ee24cde743

Now remove the urn prefix ('urn:uuid:') and plug this into your browser for more details like so:

https://server/principals/__uids__/0d426b70-8294-41a7-8b34-c2ee24cde743/

Or for a caldav url use:

http://server:8008/calendars/__uids__/0d426b70-8294-41a7-8b34-c2ee24cde743/calendar

Unfortunately, on Lion Server I wasn't able to have users subscribe to this url due to permissions. Hopefully you will have better luck than I on that part.

Using Gmail with Mail, Google Calendar with iCal

Keyboard shortcuts: Mail has it's own keyboard shortcuts, which you may have to learn.

Alternate email addresses/multiple accounts: works fine. Don't know about plus-addresses.

Priority inbox: this is not supported. Labels work, as does flagging. Public calendars work in iCal.

Syncing is very easy to set up - via IMAP in Mail, and in Preferences in iCal. In Lion it's even simpler.

Yes, you add each account separately in mail. You can still visit them in any browser or device.
