Outlook 2007 can't find ical

[superboer12]

I am trying to sync my Zimbra calendar with Outlook 2007 and by that also with my MDA.

The new Outlook supports iCal which should make it possible.
To configure it in Outlook I go to tools->account settings->internet calendars->new
Then I use "https://mail.domain.com:8443/home/username/Calendar" as URL.
After clicking OK I get the message: "Cannot verify or add the internet calendar in Outlook. Verify the link is a valid calendar link.".
I never get a login prompt in Outlook.

Using exactly the same URL in Mozilla Sunbird and even Windows Vista Calendar it works perfectly.

Does anyone have an idea what goes wrong in Outlook 2007?

Using Zimbra Open source edition 4.5.6

Try:

http://server/service/home/jholder/calendar?fmt=ics

Unfortunately it gives the same result.

Outlook just won't ask me for a password.

Same problem here. I can connect fine to Zimbra 5.0 RC2 with any other mail client. However with Outlook 2007 it fails.

http://10.0.0.45/zimbra/home/rick/calendar.ics
https://10.0.0.45/zimbra/home/rick/calendar.ics
http://10.0.0.45/zimbra/home/rick/calendar?fmt=ics
https://10.0.0.45/zimbra/home/rick/calendar?fmt=ics

none of them work....

It cannot verify that the link is a valid link, just as reported above. Anyone who solved this?

Kind regards,
Rick

can you hit that url with a browser?
if you use SSL and have a self-signed cert, you must install the cert first.

Hi,

Yes i can hit that URL with a browser.... it just returns the .ics file. So... weird right?

With sunbird and lightning i have no problems,
with firefox i can download the ics file, but outlook can't connect to calendar

(i did my tests on zimbra 4.5.5)
