You can publish the free or busy information for an account, so that other users on the network can consult the schedule for that account when they want to organize a meeting.
To take advantage of free or busy information, and other Calendar Server
features, use the Sun Java™
System Directory Server
where possible. Alternatively, copy
cards from the directory server to your local address book. Contact cards
that come from the server have a special attribute that identifies that they
have calendars on a Calendar Server
. Cards that
you create may appear identical to cards from the server. However, cards that
you create function by email address only, and are not identified and integrated
into the Calendar Server
system.
