Introduction
Netscape Calendar Server is scalable, open standards-based calendaring
software for efficiently scheduling people and resources enterprise-wide.
Among other features, the Calendar Server offers multiple time zone support,
a distributed database, mail notification, real-time lookups, free-time
searches and multiple platform support. Netscape Calendar Server 3.5 is
integrated with Netscape SuiteSpot 3.5, a merger that allows the application
to be managed with the Netscape Administration Server 3.5 and, more significantly,
offers Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) support through the
Netscape Directory Server.
Open standards support helps ensure that Netscape Calendar Server will
integrate well with existing environments, and support for Internet mail
and web standards allows users without Calendar accounts to be notified
of meetings. LDAP integration allows Netscape Calendar Server to share
the same user account information with other LDAP-capable servers, including
many of the Netscape SuiteSpot servers.
This Administrator's Guide documents installation, configuration
and maintenance procedures for the Netscape Calendar Server.
