To Configure Proxy Administrator Logins

Proxy logins must be configured for Communications Express. For instructions on how to configure proxy logins for Communications Express, seeConfiguring for Communications Express.

To allow administrator proxy logins for Calendar Server outside Communications Express, perform these steps:

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

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

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

4. Edit the parameter that follows:

   Parameter	Description/Default
   service.http.allowadminproxy	Specifies whether administrators are allowed to perform proxy logins to administer user calendars. If “yes”, proxy logins are allowed. If “no” proxy logins are not allowed. The default value is “no”.

5. Restart Calendar Server for the new value to take effect.

6. Verify that administrator proxy logins are working by using the following WCAP command:

   http://server[:port]/login.wcap? user=admin-user&password=admin-password &proxyauth=calendar-user

   where:

   • server is the name of the server where Calendar Server is running.

   • port is the Calendar Server port number. The default port is 80.

   • admin-user is the Calendar Server administrator. For example, calmaster.

   • admin-password is the password for admin-user.

   • calendar-user is the calid of the Calendar Server user.

   If the command is successful, Calendar Server displays the calendar for calendar-user. If problems occur, Calendar Server displays “Unauthorized”. Causes might be:

   • The admin-user does not have Calendar Server administrator privileges.

   • The admin-password is incorrect.

   • The calendar-user is not a valid Calendar Server user.
