WEBDAV Calendar

[Joerg Doeschner]

Hi,

I've got a problem with webdav-calendars.
Publishing works fine and a second user can open the published calendar.
But:
Writing on a published calendar is not possible.
How can I publish a calendar for writing ?

Thanks

Joerg

I think you'll find that's a flaw in Outlook that doesn't have, (AFAIK) any
workaround. For example, I have an ics calendar on a website that other
calendar applications can read and write to - but if I subscribe to it in
Outlook, it's read-only. A fatal flaw don't you think? MS obviously have
gone off at half-cock on this one...

what webdav server? if IIS and you have permissions correct, others can
write to it.

Hi Diane,

thanks.
My System:
W2003 , IIS6 , write enabled for everyone in ntfs (only on "Calendars" for
testing)
In IIS-Management :
read and write enabled for the website
anonymous and windows authtentication

Additional I've tried it with Vista-Calendar with the same result.

Assuming you are not using AD... on the server, create a user acct so
windows auth will work. The users will log into the calendar using the user
acct you created. The user acct can be something like calendar with an easy
to remember password as they will need it to access the calendar. I disabled
anon access on my calendar to force everyone to log in (and for better
security).

If you are using AD, the domain accts should be able to log in to the
calendar.
