iCal caldav error in 5.0.1 NE

[frankske]

Hi,

I am running a few instances of 5.0.1 NE, all on Ubuntu. I can't get the Mac OSX 10.5 (Leopard) iCal use CalDav against the Zimbras. I tried to use the instructions in CalDAV with Leopard iCal - Zimbra :: Wiki, but that doesn't work. I get the "Account information not found - Request encountered an unexpected error (domain (null)/code 0)." bug as described in Bug 23821 - iCal unable to subscribe to CalDAV account

Anyone that did get it to work using user@zimbradomain.tld logins instead of "short" user logins?

Regards,

Frank

I had your problem but I solved using a URI like:
http://zimbra.server.com/principals/...countNOTemail/

Rabati, can you clarify the example URI, I am not getting a connection using yours as a template.

I continue to get errors which is starting to get to me!


Thanks in advance,
Chris @ DPM

I had same problem setting up a connection from Ical and I solved following suggestion from Zimbra wiki:
CalDAV with Leopard iCal - Zimbra :: Wiki

The wiki gave not clear info on some points, let me try to describe my steps:

1. On Leopard (10.5), open iCal.
2. From the Menubar, choose "iCal"(Next to the Apple menu)
3. Choose "Preferences"
4. Choose "Accounts"
5. Click the + (plus sign) to add an acocunt
6. Give the account a Description (I used "Office")
7. Enter your Zimbra username (for me firstname.lastname NO email address)
8. Enter your Zimbra password ()
9. Click the arrow to expand server settings
10. Enter the Account URL USING following syntax http://"zimbraserverdomainname"/principals/users/Zimbrausername/
(in my company I used http://zimbra.xyz.com/principals/use...name.lastname/ )
11. Click Add

It works!

P.S. please verify correct settings (if you have it) of the iSync Zimbra prefpane)

rabati's post worked for me. Thanks.

The different setup was only needed for accounts we have setup that are @ the server hostname. The other accounts using iSync that had different domains worked without any modification in iCal.

Did anyone get this working through an Apache server setup?

The URL format quoted above works well where you are accessing Zimbra directly.

I have tried to modify it to:
http://zimbra.xyz.com/zimbra/principals/users/username/

with no luck.

Our Apache webmail URL is of the format: http://zimbra.xyz.com/zimbra/

Thank you.
