[GroupDAV] OGo GroupDAV Testserver

[groupdav@opengroupware.org]

All,

USA.NET recently made available our GroupDAV server for access to user
calendars and tasks (no contacts yet and no free-busy lookups yet).  I'd =
love
to have people that are working on clients do some testing against our se=
rver
and let me know how it works out.

If anyone would like a test account created, let me know.  I will create =
the
account for you under the "@usa.net" domain, known as "Netaddress".  When=
 we
add free-busy lookup support to our GroupDAV server, I can create a diffe=
rent
test domain so people can see each other's free-busy info within the doma=
in  =

(we host messaging services for a lot of different domains, and we allow
things like a domain-wide global address list and free-busy lookups to be=

configured differently for our different customers; the "@usa.net" domain=
 is
configured to not allow any users to view information about any other use=
rs).

Since GroupDAV is new to our server, we have not published the server
information yet.  Here is the basic information to configure a client:

GroupDAV URL: https://dav.postoffice.net/ (https is required)
Authentication: full email address with password

The actual URLs for the calendar and task containers will be
https://dav.postoffice.net/domain/user/Calendar
https://dav.postoffice.net/domain/user/Tasks

For example, for user joe@usa.net, the calendar container would be
https://dav.postoffice.net/usa.net/joe/Calendar

POP: pop.postoffice.net
IMAP: imap.postoffice.net
SMTP: smtp.postoffice.net

Authentication to the POP/IMAP/SMTP servers also uses the user's full ema=
il
address and password.  SMTP supports AUTH=3DLogin.  I will try to setup a=
ny test
accounts to support optional SSL on the standard alternative ports for PO=
P and
IMAP, and either 25 or 465 for SMTP.

To look at our web client for the "@usa.net" domain, go to
http://www.netaddress.com/.  After login, you will be able to see email,
calendar, tasks, contacts, etc.  The Preferences->Settings page within th=
e web
client allows configuration of the web client, including setting of the u=
ser's
timezone and calendar view settings.

I have done some limited testing with Kontact, but I would really like to=
 do
more as well as have some other clients that customers can use.

Thanks,

Chris Bryant

Hi there,

since the fruitsalad server shut down, we setup a new server to test  =

GroupDAV clients against OGo, the URL is:

   https://kde.opengroupware.org
     /zidestore
     /OpenGroupware

If you want to have an account, just let me know. I try to keep the  =

install up to date with SOPE 4.5 / OGo 1.1. Note that this server  =

currently only supports HTTPS.



Then I also got a mail from Chris from USA.NET:
---snip---
I work at USA.NET, an eMessaging service provider, and I wanted to  =

let you know that we recently added partial GroupDAV support to our  =

server.  Although we don't release or deliver any of our source code,  =

and are therefore not an Open Source project, we rely on standards  =

and the free and commercial clients that conform to those standards  =

to allow users to connect to our servers.  I think GroupDAV is a  =

great, simple protocol for groupware clients to connect to groupware  =

servers.

Our implementation currently supports Calendar and Tasks, but does  =

not currently support Contacts.  We also do not currently publish  =

calendar Free-Busy information.  If someone wants more information on  =

how to connect with our server, or if anyone wants some test accounts  =

to test with, they can contact me or support@corpx.usa.net.
---snap---


And of course you can also get accounts for Citadel.

Greets,
   Helge
