iCal LDAP errors

[amsterdam]

I’m attempting to use the iCal service on a 10.5.5 machine. It’s bound to AD, and set up as an OD master. We use the server for AFP filesharing and client mangement.

I’ve gotten to the point where I’m able to start the iCal service and create AD users with augmented records. However, when I try to enable the calendaring service under the user’s record in Open Directory, I do not see the fqdn of our server listed. Looking through the logs of the iCal server, reveals this:

The system log reports:

So it appears there’s some issue with having my server in OD… it has a record with its FQDN, so I’m wondering why it can’t be found…

any help would be most appreciated.

thanks!

I also found this link:

[url]http://www.nabble.com/No-virtual-host-found-for-iCal-service-td13633275.html[/url]

Which outlines the same problem. I’ve verified that dsAttrTypeStandard:RealName, dsAttrTypeStandard:RecordName and the apple-realname and cn bits are all equal to to the server’s FQDN. I’m now digging around this file:

/usr/share/caldavd/lib/python/twistedcaldav/directory/appleopendirectory.py

My guess is this python script is looking for an attribute in the computer’s record in OD that isn’t there… but what that attribute is ???

anyone?

Well, I’ve made some progress… looking around, I found this:

[url]https://trac.calendarserver.org/ticket/276[/url]

If I set requireComputerRecord to false, it works. But I am troubled as to why I have to do this. Poking around my LDAP record if found:

[code]
dscl /Search read /Computers/[myserver]

dsAttrTypeNative:description:
XServe 10.4 – OD Master
[/code]

Does this mean my OD master still thinks it’s 10.4 and not 10.5?
