10.6: Using iCal Group calendars on Snow Leopard Server
Authored by: macjoost on May 22, '12 09:19:58AM

Not always using iCal to interact with my 10.6 Calendar Server I searched for a way to add "delegates" to group calendars.

Starting with http://trac.calendarserver.org/ticket/261 I investigated further and found that in 10.6 Server there now is a SQLITE database containing all proxy information, located in /Library/CalendarServer/Data/calendaruserproxy.sqlite

What I did next is:
1. stop iCal server
2. open /Library/CalendarServer/Data/calendaruserproxy.sqlite (I used Lita.app after changing the file permissions)
3. edit the file:
In this file you will find the GROUPS table with the GROUPNAME and MEMBER columns.

If your wiki is named "wiki-groupname" and your own member id is "my-member-uuid-etc" you can add yourself as a read-write proxy by adding a new record in GROUPS with GROUPNAME = "wiki-groupname#calendar-proxy-write" and MEMBER = "my-member-uuid-etc"

If you need readonly access you use "wiki-groupname#calendar-proxy-read" for GROUPNAME.

Now:
4. close the file
5. start iCal server

In your iCal client: go to Preferences -> Accounts. In your regular account to your server you will find "groupname" listed under delegation. When you check the "Show" checkbox the group calendars will be added to your list of calendars under "Delegates".

Hurray!!!
