I'll try to explain my reference of using a LDAP system to broadcast iCal calendars. I currently use a free service called icalx ( iCal Exchange) to broadcast/contribute to public and private calendars. For example, I set up an iCal calendar to organize a bunch of hiking trips with a number of other people. I created the calendar in iCal and then used Calendar:Publish to publish the .ics file on a server with LDAP. This calendar can now be subscribed and contributed to by anyone using calendar software that uses .ics files. So, if I make a change in my iCal to that calendar, all of the people who have subscribed to that calendar will get the change/addition. The same is true if anyone on the list adds to the calendar. The change is reflected in my iCal instantaneously because it is reading the .ics file from the server, instead of simply uploading/importing the full calendar every so often. That is the sort of functionality I'd like to have with Zimbra, and maybe I'm missing how to do it, but it seems like it doesn't work that way. (Please correct me if I'm wrong by referring me to a part of the manual/website that describes how to accomplish this) |
No, the connector doesn't currently sync groups, either as folders or PDLs. As I mentioned, we're trying to figure out what to do with groups.
As for the calendar part of the equation, I'm afraid that's beyond the scope of the iSync Connector and my knowledge level. What you seem to be describing could be handled with Zimbra's support for shared calendars. Is there a reason that enabling sharing on your calendar via the Web Client won't accomplish what you want?
Take care,
