Sun Java System Calendar Server 6.3 Administration Guide

ProcedureTo Disable Autoprovisioning of Calendars

Autoprovisioning of user , resource and group calendars is enabled by default. That is, if a user attempting to log in does not yet have a default calendar, the system creates a user calendar with default settings.

If a user, resource or a group is invited to an event, but it does not yet have a default calendar, the system creates a resource or group calendar with default settings.

If you want to disable any of these calendars from being autoprovisioned, change the appropriate parameter in the ics.conf file as shown in the steps that follow.

  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. Disable autoprovisioning of user, resource and group calendars by editing the following parameters:

    local.autoprovision
