Creating Calendars for use with Web Access

Web Access allows users to view calendars managed by the CDE calendaring server (rpc.cmsd) running on Solaris 2.5.1, 2.6, and compatible systems. Each Web Access user must either have an existing CDE calendar or will need to have one created.


Note - In order for users to edit their calendars and view other users' calendars, they must have a UNIX account in addition to a SIMS account. The CDE calendar server grants access based, in part, on UID number and so the user must have an entry in the NIS maps or in the /etc/passwd file located on *both* the system running Web Access and the system running the CDE calendaring server.

To determine whether a user has an existing calendar:

  1. Enter the following command:
    % /usr/dt/bin/sdtcm_admin -l -h <hostname>


  2. If the user's calendar is not listed, then create a calendar for the user (as root):
 # /usr/dt/bin/sdtcm_admin -a -c <username@hostname>
  3. Give the user ownership rights to the calendar:
    # /usr/dt/bin/sdtcm_admin -p ar=o -c <username@hostname> -n <username>

Note - The sdtcm_admin command is available only with CDE version 1.1 or compatible systems. For further information, please refer to the man page for sdtcm_admin or the Solaris CDE User's Guide.
