The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Apple "iCal" server calendaring issue

Asked by wbokhary in WebDAV File Sharing, OS-X Server, Apple Networking

Tags: ical, calendar, CalDAV

Our environment consists of a DNS server separate from our apple's server, in other words, apples server is solely used only for calendaring. Even the open directory is used primarily  for calendaring.
This server does not handle, mail, dns, or any other services.

Within open directory on apple's server we have our users.

When we setup our users for calendering some users can see the "free/busy" schedules, others cannot. We use thunderbird with lightning plugin for caldav support for users with no MACs.

Here are the errors we are seeing in the logs: for people who can't see free/busy.

2009-08-05 12:09:50-0500 [-] [caldav-8009]  [-] "No principal for calendar user address: 'mailto:user@domain.com"
2009-08-05 12:09:50-0500 [-] [caldav-8009]  [-] 'No schedulable principal for calendar user address: mailto:user@domain.com
2009-08-05 12:09:50-0500 [-] [caldav-8009]  [-] 'Error during POST for mailto:user@domain.com: None'
2009-08-05 12:10:49-0500 [-] [caldav-8009]  [AMP,client] POST /calendars/__uids__/E0BAF924-0610-47F9-A3DE-DF0D8E4A54F6/outbox/ HTTP/1.1
2009-08-05 12:12:10-0500 [-] [caldav-8009]  [AMP,client] POST /calendars/__uids__/E0BAF924-0610-47F9-A3DE-DF0D8E4A54F6/outbox/ HTTP/1.1
2009-08-05 12:12:10-0500 [-] [caldav-8009]  [-] "No principal for calendar user address: 'mailto:user@domain.com"
2009-08-05 12:12:10-0500 [-] [caldav-8009]  [-] 'No schedulable principal for calendar user address: mailto:user@domain.com
2009-08-05 12:12:10-0500 [-] [caldav-8009]  [-] 'Error during POST for mailto:user@domain.com: None'

What do these errors signify, and why are we getting these for some and not the other users. Deleting and recreating the users in open directory didn't solve the problem, the permissions of these users is identical to the users which can see "free/busy"

What do these error logs signify and how to rectify the problem?

Thanks
