OS X 10.5 (and later versions!?) features a CalDAV Server. It has been released open source as Darwin Calendar Server. OS X also supports CardDAV.

Setup

Most installation should work with auto-discovery:

CalDAV-Sync

  • Server name: <servername>:<port> (you can omit :<port> if you use standard ports (443 for SSL or 80 for non-SSL))
  • Use SSL: check accordingly
  • Username: your login name
  • Password: your password

If you have trouble to set up the account try manual mode with

  • URL: https://<servername>:<port>/principals (use "http" if you don't use SSL, you can omit :<port> if you use standard ports (443 for SSL or 80 for non-SSL))
  • Username: your login name
  • Password: your password

At present, auto-discovery of shared resources is not supported. To sync a shared calendar use manual mode with

  • URL: https://<servername>:<port>/calendars/__uids__/<UID>/<Calendar name or UID>/ (use "http" if you don't use SSL, you can omit :<port> if you use standard ports (443 for SSL or 80 for non-SSL))
  • Username: your login name
  • Password: your password

You have to replace <UID> and <Calendar name or UID> by the actual values.

CardDAV-Sync

Auto-discovery should work just like with CalDAV-Sync:

  • Server name: <servername>:<port> (you can omit :<port> if you use standard ports (443 for SSL or 80 for non-SSL))
  • Use SSL: check accordingly
  • Username: your login name
  • Password: your password

You need manual mode if auto-discovery does not work or you intend to sync a shared address book. In CardDAV-Sync you'll have to enter the full path to the address book. I'm not sure right now, but I think it should look like this:

  • URL: https://<servername>:<port>/addresses/__uids__/<UID>/<addressbook name or UID>/ (use "http" if you don't use SSL, you can omit :<port> if you use standard ports (443 for SSL or 80 for non-SSL))
  • Username: your login name
  • Password: your password

Can someone please correct/confirm this? You have to replace <UID> and <Calendar name or UID> by the actual values.
