15.2.2 Calendar ID Creation Rules

This section describes the rules for creating a calendar ID (calid).

When creating a calid, keep in mind the following rules:

• Calendar ID's are case sensitive. For example, JSMITH is not equivalent to jsmith. (This differs from email addresses, which are not case sensitive. For example, jsmith@sesta.com is equivalent to JSMITH@SESTA.COM.)

• A calendar ID cannot contain spaces and is limited to the following characters:

  • Alphabetic (a-z, A-Z) and numeric (0-9) characters (non-ASCII characters are not allowed)

  • Special characters: period (.), underscore (_), hyphen or dash (-), at sign (@), apostrophe ('), percent sign (%), slash (/), or exclamation point (!)

    Because the user ID is part of the calid, the user ID should not contain spaces (for example, j smith). While a user with a user ID that contains a space can log into Calendar Server, the space can cause subsequent problems.

    Examples of proper calendar ID's are:

    jsmithjsmith:private_calendar
    jsmith@calendar.sesta.com:new-cal
