Choosing the schema that’s right for your Calendar Server installation depends on your provisioning needs:

• Are you integrating Calendar Server with other Java Enterprise System component products, such as Portal Server or Access Manager, which provide single sign-on capabilities?

  If you answer Yes, then you must use Schema 2 Native Mode.

• Are you installing Calendar Server for the first time or are you upgrading from an older version?

  If you are installing Calendar Server for the first time, use Schema 2 Native Mode.

  If you are upgrading from an older version of Calendar Server, you can either use Schema 1 or Schema 2 Native or Compatibility Mode.

• Do you plan to use either Access Manager CLI utilities for provisioning or single sign-on?

  If you answer Yes, use Schema 2 Native or Compatibility Mode.

• Do you want to use the Calendar Server csdomain utility for provisioning domains?

  If you answer Yes, use Schema 2 Native or Compatibility Mode. If you don’t plan to use the csdomain utility, and you have an existing Calendar Server installation, use Schema 1.

• If you don’t want to use either Access Manager or Calendar Server CLI utilities for provisioning, use can use either Schema 2 Native Mode for new installations, or Schema 1 or Schema 2 Compatibility Mode for existing Calendar Server installations.
