4.1 Configuring for Communications Express

This section covers the two configuration file parameters to configure for Communications Express.

Communications Express requires the following:

• To Configure Proxy Authentication

• To Enable Anonymous Access

To Configure Proxy Authentication

1. Log in as an administrator with permission to change the configuration.

2. Stop Calendar Server services by issuing the stop-cal.

3. Change to the /etc/opt/SUNWics5/cal/config directory.

4. Save your old ics.conf file by copying and renaming it.

5. Edit the ics.conf parameters as shown in the following table:

   service.http.allowadminproxy

   Enables administrator proxy authentication when set to "yes". The default is "yes".

   service.http.admins

   Lists the user ID's with administration rights to Calendar Server. The default is “calmaster”. This can be a space-separated list with multiple values. One of the values must be the value as specified in the uwconfig.properties file for calendar.wcap.adminid.

   service.siteadmin.userid

   User ID of the calmaster. This should be the same as the user ID found in the calendar.wcap.adminid parameter of the uwcconfig.properties file.

   service.siteadmin.cred

   Password for the calmaster. This should be the same as the user ID found in the calendar.wcap.passwd parameter of the uwcconfig.properties file.

   ---

   Note –

   The uwcconfig.properties file is located in the comms-express-svr-base/WEB-INF/config directory, where comm-express-svr-base is the directory where Communications Express was installed.

   ---

6. Save the file as ics.conf.

7. Restart Calendar Server.

   cal-svr-base/SUNWics5/cal/sbin/start-cal

To Enable Anonymous Access

1. Log in as an administrator with permission to change the configuration.

2. Stop Calendar Server services by issuing the stop-cal.

3. Change to the /etc/opt/SUNWics5/cal/config directory.

4. Save your old ics.conf file by copying and renaming it.

5. Edit the following parameters in the ics.conf to enable anonymous access:

   service.wcap.anonymous.allowpubliccalendarwrite

   Enables or disables allowing anonymous access users to write to public calendars. Enable access by setting the value to "yes", which is the default.

   service.wcap.allowpublicwritablecalendars

   Enables users to have publicly writable calendars. This is enabled by default (set to "yes").

   service.http.allowanonymouslogin

   Enable anonymous access (login) by setting this parameter to "yes", if necessary. The default value is "yes".

   service.calendarsearch.ldap

   For security purposes with anonymous logins enabled, you might want to disable searching through the LDAP first when doing calendar searches, by setting this parameter to "no", which is the default.

   ---

   Note –

   Communications Express expects the value of the service.calendarsearch.ldap parameter to be "no". This conflicts with instructions given for tuning your system for best performance in a DWP environment, (in which your database is distributed across multiple back-ends.) See 21.2 Improving Calendar Search Performance in a DWP Environment.
