Caldav carddav Bundles

Using CalDAV and CardDAV with Open-Xchange

Beginning with the 6.20.1 release, Open-Xchange provides interfaces to connect CalDAV- and CardDAV-clients. Please note that at first only MacOS X with its clients "iCal" and "Address Book" is supported. This will change later and support for other clients such as Thunderbird will be added.

Configuration

Please edit your file /etc/apache2/ox6.conf so that the existing configuration for ox as well as the new configuration for CalDAV and CardDav is placed inside a virtual host.

This is an example where MYSERVER.TLD is the domain-name of the ox-server:
