About Calendar Server 6 2005Q4

Calendar Server is a scalable, web-based solution for centralized calendaring and scheduling for enterprises and service providers. Calendar Server supports user calendars for both events and tasks as well as calendars for resources, such as conference rooms and equipment. For a list of new features, see the following section, What's New in This Release.

Calendar Server offers a graphical user interface, Communications Express. It also offers customers the flexibility to use the Web Calendar Access Protocol (WCAP) to access calendar data directly in either text/calendar or text/xml format.

The deprecated graphical user interface, Calendar Express, is supported for backward compatibility only, but is no longer under development .

General Release Calendar Server 6 2005Q4 

What's New in This Release

Calendar Server 6 2005Q4 includes the following changes and new features:

Requirements

This section describes the hardware and software required and recommended for this release of Calendar Server.


Note –

For Calendar Server installations that separate functionality across front-end and back-end machines, the hardware platforms and operating systems must be the same on each end.

More specifically, due to big-endian versus small-endian incompatibility, you can’t use both an x86 platform machine and a SPARC platform machine in the same Calendar Server deployment containing front-end and back-end machines.

Moreover, mixing Solaris x86 and Linux operating systems for front-end and back-end machines has not been tested and is not currently supported.

Installation Notes

This section contains information you should know before you install Calendar Server 6 2005Q4, including:


Caution – Caution –

Calendar Server does not support Network File System (NFS) mounted partitions. Do not install or create any part of Calendar Server; including executable, database, configuration, data, temporary, or log files on an NFS-mounted partition.


Front-End and Back-End Machines and Operating Systems

For Calendar Server installations that separate functionality across front-end and back-end machines, the hardware platforms must be the same on each end.

More specifically, due to big-endian versus small-endian incompatibility, you can’t use both an x86 platform machine and a SPARC platform machine in the same Calendar Server deployment containing front-end and back-end machines.

Moreover, mixing Solaris x86 and Linux operating systems for front-end and back-end machines has not been tested and is not currently supported.

Linux Platform Support

Java Enterprise System runs on the Linux platform. The major differences in user experience will be the path names where product directories are installed. The Linux platform installs into a different directory than the Solaris platform.

The following table shows the default installation directory paths for Solaris and Linux:

Solaris Default Directories 

Linux Default Directories 

/opt/SUNWics5/cal/ (cal_svr_base)

/opt/sun/calendar (cal_svr_base)

/etc/opt/SUNWics5/config

/etc/opt/sun/calendar/config

/var/opt/SUNWics5/

/var/opt/sun/calendar


Tip –

In the documentation, the default installation directory for Calendar Server is referred to as cal_svr_base.


OS Patches

You must apply the required operating system patches before installing Calendar Server. Refer to the system release notes, Sun Java Enterprise System 2005Q4 Release Notes, for a list of required patches.

Required Privileges

Upgrading From an Earlier Version of Calendar Server 6

Do not attempt to upgrade Calendar Server using the Sun Java Enterprise System installer. You must use the patchadd process. Find instructions for upgrading from earlier Calendar Server releases in the Sun Java Enterprise System 2005Q4 Upgrade and Migration Guide. See also the Sun Java Enterprise System 2005Q4 Release Notes.

Upgrading Your Calendar Database

If you have Calendar Server 6 installed, with Berkeley DB version 3.2.9, the conversion to the current 4.2 version will be done automatically. You do not need to run any other database migration programs.

If you have a Calendar Server 5 installation that uses Berkeley DB version 2.6, you must upgrade your calendar database to version 4.2. using the cs5migrate utility. The utility is available upon request from technical support.

If you have an existing Calendar Server 2 installation, you must upgrade to Calendar Server 5 before you can migrate to the current release.

The cs5migrate utility performs the following tasks:

In addition, if the -r option is specified, cs5migrate creates master and exception records for all recurring events and tasks. Going forward these records will be automatically generated by Calendar Server. If you need to migrate your database but do not plan to use the Connector for Microsoft Outlook, you do not need run cs5migrate with the -r option.

Contact technical support for the download location and documentation for either utility.


Caution – Caution –

If your site has an earlier version of Calendar Server that is configured for limited virtual domain mode or has multiple instances of Calendar Server on the same machine, contact your Sun Microsystems, Inc. sales account representative for an evaluation of your migration requirements and to ensure that you have the specific migration utility that supports those requirements.

And, as always, never migrate your database without first performing a full backup.


Postinstallation Configuration

After installing or upgrading to Calendar Server 6 2005Q4 and before you can use Calendar Server, you must configure it as follows:

  1. Run the Directory Server Setup Script (comm_dssetup.pl) to configure Sun Java System Directory Server for Calendar Server schema.

  2. Run the Calendar Server Configuration Program (csconfigurator.sh ) to configure your site’s specific requirements.

For instructions, refer to the Sun Java System Calendar Server 6 2005Q4 Administration Guide.

Directory Server Performance

To improve the performance of your LDAP directory server, especially if you are using calendar searches of the LDAP directory consider the following items:

Indexing the LDAP Directory Server Attributes

To improve performance when Calendar Server accesses the LDAP directory server, add indexes to the LDAP configuration file for various attributes.

The configuration program, comm_dssetup.pl, will optionally do the indexing for you.


Tip –

To see the performance difference indexing can give you, perform the following test:

  1. Before indexing, time how long it takes to run the following LDAP command:


    ldapsearch -b "base" "(&(icscalendarowned=*
    user*)(objectclass=icsCalendarUser))"

    where base is the LDAP base DN of the directory server where the user and resource data for Calendar Server is located, and user is the value that an end user can enter in the Calendar Express Subscribe \> Calendar Search dialog.

  2. Run indexing for icsCalendarOwned.

  3. Again run the following LDAP command, and time it:


    ldapsearch -b "base"
     "(&(icscalendarowned=*user*)(objectclass=icsCalendarUser))"

    where base is the LDAP base DN of the directory server where the user and resource data for Calendar Server is located, and user is the value that an end user can enter in the Calendar Express Subscribe \> Calendar Search dialog.

  4. Compare the times. There should be a measurable time difference.


Checking and Setting the Size Limit and the Look Through Limit Parameters

To determine if the Look Through Limit (nsslapd-lookthroughlimit) and Size Limit (nsslapd-sizelimit) parameters are set to appropriate values, try the following command:

ldapsearch -b "base" "(&(icscalendarowned=*
user ID*)
(objectclass=icsCalendarUser))"

where base is the LDAP base DN of the directory server where the user and resource data for Calendar Server is located, and user ID is the value that an end user can enter in a calendar search dialog in Communications Express.

If the LDAP server returns an error, the nsslapd-sizelimit or the nsslapd-lookthroughlimit parameter might not be large enough. Follow these guidelines to set these parameters:

Communications Express Using Schema 1

There are two issues with Schema 1 in Communications Express:

Provisioning Tools

There are two tools for provisioning users, groups and domains for Calendar Server: The Delegated Administrator and Calendar Server utilities. Delegated Administrator has two user interfaces: the Console, a graphical user interface, and the Utility, a command-line interface. For information on Delegated Administrator, see the Sun Java System Communications Services 6 2005Q4 Delegated Administrator Guide. Instructions on use of the Console can be found in the Delegated Administrator Console online help.

For information on the Calendar Server utilities, see the Sun Java System Calendar Server 6 2005Q4 Administration Guide.


Caution – Caution –

Do not attempt to provision users through the Access Manager Console. Though it is possible to create users and assign them a calendar service, do not use this method as results will be unpredictable and negatively impact your deployment.


Documentation Updates

Calender Server 6 2005Q4 includes the following documentation. Part numbers are in parentheses.

Communications Express Online Help is available on the interface.

Delegated Administrator Console Online Help is available on the interface.

Calendar Server 6 2005Q4 documentation is available on the following Web site:

http://docs.sun.com/coll/1313.1

Sun Java Enterprise System Technical Note: Sun Java System Calendar Frequently Asked Questions (819–2631) This FAQ document has not been updated for this release.

Compatibility Issues

The following table lists the known incompatibilities between Calendar Server 6 2005Q4 and earlier versions.

Incompatibility 

Impact 

Comments 

Access Manager now has two install types: Legacy and Realm. 

At installation, you must choose Legacy as the install type on the following panel: 

Access Manager: Administration (1 of 6)

If the wrong Access Manager is installed, you will not be able to run Delegated Administrator. 

The Directory Preparation Tool (comm_dssetup.pl) under /opt/SUNWics5 doesn't work.

comm_dssetup.pl is now in its own package installed in /opt/SUNcomds for Solaris, and /opt/sun/comms/dssetup for Linux

To install the package, be sure the Directory Preparation Tool is selected in the appropriate installer panel. 

The configuration program for the Delegated Administrator has changed.  

Install Delegated Administrator and run the configuration program. The current program is located at: for Solaris, /opt/SUNWcomm/sbin/config-commda

for Linux /opt/sun/comms/config-commda

Upgrade to the new Delegated Administrator when installing this version of Calendar Server. 

This release of Communications Express is incompatible with the 2004Q2 version of Calendar Server. 

If you upgrade Communications Express, you must also upgrade Calendar Server. 

This also applies to Messaging Server. 

Problems Fixed in This Release

The list that follows are problems reported for Calendar Server 2005Q1 that are fixed in this release:

4526765

Problem: Calendar Server utility cscal will not add more than two owners to a calendar at a time, no matter how many are specified in the command.

4945126

ITIP message for recurring events is incorrect.

4963040

csdb rebuild appends default directories onto end of specified target directory.

5018344

search_calprops.wcap should use better LDAP search filter to return correct result.

5023720

Usage is incorrect for csclean -g option.

5044765

Calendar Server package uses question mark for group ID of top-level directory.

5044776

Calendar Server packages use parametric attributes instead of assigned owner.

5053566

Linux: Calendar Server files installed by default under /etc/opt/sun/config.

5088397

icsStatus is not honored at the domain level.

5105867

Calendar Server has private copies of shared components.

5110172

DWP daemon fails to start on Solaris x86 platform.

6173572

cshttpd crashes when LDAP cache is enabled.

6173712

When mail lookup is configured in virtual domain mode, Calendar Server error 29 is thrown. Mail lookup is not supported in virtual domain mode. Use user and group LDAP instead. In the revenue release, mail lookup settings in the ics.conf file are ignored in virtual domain mode.

6174162

Confusing error messages when running csrename.

6182625

WCAP change: add update as a method, otherwise after a first modification, Outlook gets error on subsequent modifications. Change WCAP version to 3.3.0.

Known Issues and Limitations

This section contains tables that list of the more important known issues at the time of the Calendar Server 6 release:

Limitations

The following limitation is known at this time:

Removing all Instances of Multi-Valued User Preferences

Limitation: Each set_userprefs command removes only one instance of a multi-valued preference.

Workaround: To remove all instances of a multi-valued user preference, you must issue one set_userpref command per instance.

For example: Perform a get_userprefs to list all of the user preferences. If there are multiple values for a preference, such as icsSubscribed , then you must issue one set_userprefs command to delete the preference for each of the values listed.

Finding Installed Patches in a Clustered Environment

Limitation: There is no cluster specific showrev command that will show what is installed on the individual nodes of the cluster. (This is a generic problem, not just Calendar Server specific. You would run into the same difficulty with any product installed on a global file system.)

This is a problem when you want to update Calendar Server. You need to apply the patch to every node where Calendar Server was already installed. In addition you can’t apply the patch to a node if Calendar Server hasn’t already been installed on it. If you don’t know which nodes have Calendar Server installed and which do not, at the least, it will be confusing and cost you time trying to discover where Calendar Server is installed.

Workaround: Run the following command to see all of the nodes where Calendar Server is installed: pkgparam -v SUNWics5 | grep ACTIVE_PATCH

Pop-up Blockers

Limitation: Certain Calendar Server windows will not display if you have a pop-up blocker enabled.

Workaround: Disable pop-up blockers for the Calendar URL to ensure all Calendar Server windows will display.

Exception: Neither the Norton Inet Security AD_BLOCKER nor the Mozilla built-in POP_BLOCKER will affect Calendar Server windows.

Provisioning Users for Communications Express in Schema 1 Mode

Limitation: The csuser utility does not enable users it creates for Address Book.

Workaround: Enable the user using ldapmodify.

Multiple Domains (Hosted Domains)

Limitation: The configuration program, csconfigurator.sh, configures only a single domain.

Workaround: If you need a multiple domain calendar environment (called either Virtual Domains or Hosted Domains), you must do two things:

  1. Enable hosted domains.

  2. Add the domains yourself using Delegated Administrator, or the csdomain utility if you are still using Sun LDAP Schema 1.

See Chapter 11, Setting Up Hosted Domains, in Sun Java System Calendar Server 6 2005Q4 Administration Guide and Chapter 13, Administering Hosted Domains, in Sun Java System Calendar Server 6 2005Q4 Administration Guide in the Sun Java System Calendar Server6 2005Q4 Administration Guide.

Calendar Server Does Not Expire LDAP Cache Data

Limitation: (Also bug number 4777792) Cache can fill up, causing errors. Calendar Server does not expire the LDAP cache data.

Workaround: Periodically remove contents of file. Then restart Calendar Server.

Must Enter Both Fully Qualified and Non-fully Qualified Hostnames in Configuration File

Limitation: The configuration file asks for the hostname twice. Once fully qualified and the second time not fully qualified. For example:

caldb.dwp.server.skate.red.sesta.com.ip = "skate.red.sesta.com" 
caldb.dwp.server.skate.ip = "skate" 
caldb.dwp.server.test12.red.sesta.com.ip = "test12.red.sesta.com" 
caldb.dwp.server.test12.ip = "test12"

Non-RFC Compliant Data in X-Tokens Must be Quoted

Limitation: If there is non-RFC compliant data in an X-Token, it must be quoted. For example, a colon in an X-Token must appear as ":".

Reported Problems

The following is a list of problems reported on the product:

4526772

Problem: The Calendar Server utility cscal does not validate users before adding them to the owners list as secondary owners.

4754661

Problem: The Calendar Server migration utility csmig does not update icsSubscribed with the owners calendars.

4777792

Problem: Lack of ability to automatically purge obsolete cached LDAP data.

Workaround: Manually remove old cached LDAP data.

4932211

Problem: enpd crashes when opening and closing connections rapidly and concurrently.

4958242

Problem: When a user modifies an event and chooses the option to modify today’s event and all future events, all previous events are deleted and will no longer display in the UI.

5019977

Problem: SSL initialization fails in SSLv2 mode. Unable to make use of SSLv2 client.

5027772

Problem: Configuration program “Get” does not get baseDN . It fetches the install root. You must specify the base DN by adding the part that comes after the root.

5060833

Problem: If you start a process (such as enpd) and then disable it in the ics.conf file, when stop-cal is issued, the system will not stop the disabled process.

Workaround: Re-enable the process in the ics.conf file and then issue the stop-cal command. After all processes are stopped, then disable any processes you do not want running before issuing start-cal.

6179278

Problem: Hot backup log files not purged according to configuration settings.

Workaround: To prevent disk full service interruptions, periodically copy the log files to another location and start a new log file.

6186298

Problem: In Schema 1 mode with hosted domains, if the DC tree is missing or improperly provisioned, calendar utilities can fail. You must create the DC tree nodes prior to creating or otherwise managing calendars.

6203605, 6245878, 6246230

Problem:Administrators can't delete a domain from LDAP. commadmin domain purge does not remove entries with deleted as their icsStatus. They must have removed as the status. The recommended Calendar Server utility, csclean, does not change the icsStatus to removed .

Workaround:Use ldapmodify to change icsStatus to removed before running commadmin domain purge.

6216869

Problem: If DWP is disabled while the DWP process is running, stop-cal will not stop it. stop-cal should stop all services rather than just those enabled.

6216877

Problem: Vague error message. In a hosted domain environment, if the basednpassed tocsdomain does not exist. The actual message received is: “FAIL: icsLdapServer: Null argument to function.” This type of error message is vague because the error message originates several levels down and could be caused by many different circumstances. Rather than just passing the error through, the higher level program should interpret the error message before bubbling it up to the next higher level.

6219126
