## 35.2 CalDAV account in Apple iCal

Apple iCal is a utility for management of calendars which allows their synchronization via the CalDAV protocol.

Apple iCal supports the CalDAV protocol since Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard. Support of Kerio MailServer currently allows:

- synchronization of calendars,

- synchronization of To Do with the Task folder,

- scheduling of meetings,

- delegation of calendars,

- providing Free/Busy information of Kerio MailServer users,

- Calendar Availability setting.

- setting of private events in calendars (featured on Apple iCal 3.0.3 and higher).

### Warning

Starting of CalDAV synchronization in Apple iCal automatically disables calendar synchronization via Kerio Sync Connector. Synchronization of contacts, if defined, is not interrupted.

### 35.2.1 Automatic configuration of CalDAV accounts

Kerio Technologies developed the iCal Config Tool which allows automatic configuration of CalDAV accounts in Apple iCal on Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard and higher.

In addition to configuration of the CalDAV account, the tool sets Kerio MailServer as an Open Directory server in Directory Utility on the client computer. Thanks to this setting, the user can use full delegation features in their Apple iCal.

#### Launching iCal Config Tool

1. The tool is available for download and startup on a special page called Integration with Mac OS X. To open this page, use the following URL address in your browser: `http://server_name/integration` (e.g. `http://mail.company.com/integration`) or go to the Kerio WebMail's welcome page and click on the Integration with Mac OS X link.

2. On the Integration with Mac OS X page just opened, click on the Auto-configure iCal link. The tool gets downloaded to the workstation and the CalDAV account is configured with the installation wizard.

The wizard will require the following settings:

- username and password for the corresponding account,

- username and password for an account with administration rights for the workstation.

### Note

For details on automatic configuration of CalDAV accounts in Apple iCal, refer to the Kerio MailServer 6, User's Guide.
