6.1. Mac OS X iCal Client
6.2. Sunbird Client Guide
6.3. Evolution Client Configuration

This chapter describes how to configure the CalDAV or iCal client for using with the Zarafa server. The zarafa-ical gateway enables users to view their Zarafa calendars using clients like Sunbird, Evolution or Mac iCal.

To access calendar folders on Zarafa the following options are available.

For all clients but the Mac OS X iCal client use:

URL	Calendar
`http://server:8080/ical`	User’s own default calendar via ical (not recommended)
`http://server:8080/caldav`	User’s own default calendar
`http://server:8080/caldav/<other-user>`	Other-user’s calendar list
`http://server:8080/caldav/<user>/<calendar>`	User’s self created calendar in user’s (own) store
`http://server:8080/caldav/<user>/<calendar>/<subcal>`	User’s self created subcalendar in a self created calendar
`http://server:8080/caldav/public/<calendar>`	Calendar folder in the public folder

For the Mac OS X iCal client use:

URL For Mac OS X iCal client	Calendar
`http://server:8080/caldav`	User’s calendar list
`http://server:8080/caldav/<other-user>`	Other-users calendar list
`http://server:8080/caldav/public`	Public folders list

Note

The <other user> or <user>/<calendar> is only reachable if the correct permissions are available.

Note

The Mac iCal client is fully tested and supported up to 10.5.6.
