Re: Calendar server



Netscape Calendar server (at least version 3.5) does work with
openldap.  I assume later versions would probably work also.  The
following link can get you started if you want to do that.

http://www.openldap.org/faq/data/cache/194.html

You'll also need some access rules in openldap that allow the Calendar
Server to make updates to the directory - something like:

access to * by dn="nsCalXItemId=10000:00001,ou=Netscape
Servers,o=domain.com  write

where 10000 is the node number of your Calender Server node.  A more
restrictive rule may be possible, but this seems to work.

I have also been beta testing the CS&T CorporateTime Calendar Server 5.0
for linux.  (Netscape Calendar was really Corporate time under a
different name, althought CS&T is no longer leasing the software to
Netscape.)  It required ldapv3 so it won't work with openldap 1.x.  But
it does work with the openldap 2.0 development version that I downloaded
without any modifications to openldap source code such as were required
with the Netscape Calendar Server.
