16 Calendar Server Command-Line Utilities

This chapter provides information about the Oracle Communications Calendar Server command-line utilities.

Topics:

Overview of the Command-Line Utilities

You use the davadmin command to administer Calendar Server. The davadmin command is installed in the CalendarServer_home/sbin directory with user or group bin/bin permissions.

Note:

The davadmin command-line command administers aspects of the server and does not affect any LDAP entries.

davadmin Security

The davadmin command requires you to authenticate with a user name and password to be able to communicate with the server or database. You can use the davadmin passfile operation to store the necessary passwords in an encrypted wallet for use by subsequent davadmin commands. If you do not store passwords in the wallet, then you must enter them by using a no-echo prompt on the command line. See "davadmin passfile" for more information on how to create a file to store passwords.

Environment Variables

Table 16-1 describes the environment variables that you can use with the various davadmin commands.

Table 16-1 davadmin Environment Variable

Environment Variable Description

DAVADMIN_CLIFILE

Specifies the path to the bootstrap file. Can be used instead of the -F option.

DAVADMIN_ACCOUNT

Specifies the account information. Can be used instead of the -a account option.


davadmin Utility

Use the davadmin utility to administer Calendar Server.

Location

CalendarServer_home/sbin

General Syntax

davadmin [ operation [ action ]] [ option1 ] [ option2 ] ...

where:

  • operation is the davadmin operation to run. See "davadmin Operations" for more information.

  • action is the action that the specified operation performs, such as create, delete, list, and modify. Specifying an action is optional for certain operations.

  • option is one or more command-line options that identify information that the operation needs and the specifics of what the operation does. For example, some options provide connection parameters, and the -o option specifies a configuration parameter that the config operation may list or modify. All options are optional if the clifile is used and accessed through the environment variable DAVADMIN_CLIFILE.

You can abbreviate an operation, an action, or both as long as they are unique in the command. For example, for the command davadmin config list, you can enter davadmin c l.

The default action for most commands is list. The default is used when you do not specify the action. For example, the following command lists the value of the base.ldapinfo.cachesize configuration parameter.

davadmin config -o base.ldapinfo.cachesize

Note:

All words used for operations, actions, and options, and the components of property=value, are case-sensitive, typically lower-case.

Ways to Provide Options

You can provide options to the davadmin command by:

  • Using the command line

  • Using the clifile

  • Including them in davadmin.properties file

Any user can create a clifile. Only the administrative user can use the davadmin.properties file. The davadmin.properties file is installed in the CalendarServer_home/config directory.

When you run the davadmin command, any option that you include on the command line takes precedence over any like option in the clifile or the davadmin.properties file. Use of the clifile or the davadmin.properties file is mutually exclusive. If you use the clifile, use it for any option that is not on the command line. If you run the davadmin command as the administrative user and do not supply a clifile, the davadmin.properties file is used for any option that is not on the command line.

The davadmin.properties file contains options for userid, hostname, port, secure, dbhost, dbport, and dbuserid.

Clifile Properties

Table 16-2 describes the possible properties in the bootstrap file (clifile).

Table 16-2 Clifile Properties

Property Description

userid

GlassFish Administrator user ID.

usepasswordfile

Use the password file. Unless this property is empty, 'n', 'no' or 'false', the password file is used.

hostname

secure

Path to the truststore file used for a secure connection (HTTPS).

dbuserid

MySQL Server or Oracle Database user ID.

dbhost

Host name where the database server resides.

dbhostname

Host name where the database server resides.

dbport

Port on dbhost for access to the database.

database

Specifies the name of the DAV store to be saved or updated.

migrationadminuser

Administrative user to authenticate to Calendar Server 6 host.

migrationserverport

Server and port information to connect to the Calendar Server 6 host from which data needs to be migrated. The format is host:port.


Common Options

Table 16-3 describes the options that are common to all davadmin operations.

Table 16-3 Common Options

Short Option Long Option Description Required or Optional

-u adminuserid

--userid

Optional. If the password file does not exist or does not contain the needed password, you are prompted for the password.

-F file

--clifile

File with bootstrap information that you use to specify command-line options so that they do not have to be entered at the command line. Each line in the bootstrap file is in the form property=value. All property names and values are case-sensitive, typically lower-case. Some commands also have a -f, --file option, which provides additional batch input specific to those commands. For possible properties see the "Clifile Properties" table.

Required unless all necessary information is provided on the command line or in the davadmin.properties file. See "Ways to Provide Options" for more information on priority order of options, the clifile and the davadmin.properties file. A path to the clifile file can also be specified by the DAVADMIN_CLIFILE environment variable.

-H host

--hostname

Server host name.

Optional. Defaults to localhost.

-p port

--port

GlassFish administration port (JMX connector port) and MySQL Server or Oracle Database port for db commands. The GlassFish administration port can be found in the domain's domain.xml file or in the Administration Console (Configuration->Admin Service->system).

Optional. Defaults to 3306 for db commands and 8686 for other commands.

-s path

--secure

Path to the truststore file used for a secure connection (HTTPS).

Optional. Required if GlassFish is running in secure mode. Not applicable for db commands.

-e

--detail

Verbose output. Mostly used if a command returns an error.

Lists version of davadmin utility. (Checks the local package version on disk, which could be different than what has been deployed to GlassFish Server, for example, in the case where a patch was added but the init-config command has not yet been run.)

Optional. Usable only by itself and not with other options.


Each operation also has its own specific options, as shown in the following sections.

davadmin Operations

Table 16-4 describes the davadmin operations.

Table 16-4 davadmin Class of Operations

Argument Description

version

Displays version of the server. The GlassFish Server is queried for the version of Calendar Server deployed.

account

Performs operations that affect the entire user or resource account.

backend

Adds information for an additional back-end calendar store.

cache

Performs operations on various Calendar Server caches.

calendar

Performs calendar collection operations, such as create a collection, modify a collection, or delete a collection.

calcomponent

Performs resource operations, such as listing resources that meet a specified criteria, importing resources, or deleting resources.

config

Performs configuration operations, such as print a particular option, set a particular option, or list all options. Some configuration operations require that you restart Calendar Server. The davadmin config modify command informs you if the change requires you to restart Calendar Server to take effect. To stop and start Calendar Server, see "Stopping and Starting Calendar Server Services" for details.

db

Performs database related operations, like backing up and restoring the database.

ldappool

Performs ldappool operations, including creating, listing, and modifying LDAP pools.

migration

Performs migration of Calendar Server 6 data to Calendar Server Server 7 Update 1 and greater.

passfile

Creates, deletes, lists, or modifies passwords in the password file.

vscan

Performs virus scanning operations.


Each operation takes various command-line options. The common options used by all davadmin operations are described in Table 16-3.

Note:

Any option value that contains special characters or spaces must be enclosed in quotes ("") so that it is passed "as is" to the davadmin command. For example:
davadmin config modify -o base.ldapinfo.ugldap.binddn -v "cn=Directory Manager"

Note:

If a portion of an option that is enclosed in quotes also needs to be quoted, you must use single quotes around that portion. For example:
davadmin calendar modify -n calendar -y "displayname='A new calendar name',acl=@:r"

Tool-Only Options

Two options, -V and -h, can be used without any operation specified. The -V option prints the version of the command-line utility. The -h option prints the general usage.

Exit Code

The tool exits with exit code 0 on success and 1 on failure.

davadmin account

Use this command to perform operations that affect the entire user or resource account.

Syntax

davadmin account [ create | delcomponents | delete | list | modify |
                   repair | subscribe | unsubscribe | upgrade ]
                 [-p port] [-s path] [-a account] [-g uniqueid (delete only)]
                 [-y property=value[,property=value...]] [-f file]

account Operation

Table 16-5 describes the actions for the account operation.

Table 16-5 Actions for account Operation

Command Description

create

Creates an account for user who has been provisioned in the LDAP Directory Server. The user must have an email address.

delcomponents

Deletes components from all of the calendars belonging to an account or a set of accounts. Use the -d option to specify deletion of all components older than this number of days.

delete

Also, list displays the users' subscribed calendars list. list is the default action, if it is not included on the command line, for most commands. You can use the davadmin account list command without the -a option to list all current users in the Calendar Server database. You can get either a simple list, which contains one user per line, or a detailed list, which contains complete information about the user's account. The options affected by this change are -a, -f, -B, and -v.

modify

Modifies an account.

repair

Repairs the user's email address in the database entries after an LDAP email change occurs. When used with the -o option, repair updates the owner lists of all accounts.

subscribe

Subscribe to a calendar belonging to another user. That other user must grant the requesting user access before this can be done.

unsubscribe

Remove a calendar from a user's subscription list.


Options for account Operation

Table 16-6 describes the options for the account operation.

Table 16-7 describes the options for the delete operation.

Table 16-7 Options for delete Operation

Short Option Long Option Description

-a account

--account

Required. Principal account information provided as email address. You can also supply the account information with the DAVADMIN_ACCOUNT environment variable.

-d

--days

Number of days. Delete the components older than these many number of days. Applies only to the davadmin account delcomponents command.

-g uniqueID

NA

The principal account described by the database uniqueID, if -a fails. Normally you run davadmin account delete while the user is still defined in LDAP, so the higher level delete functionality can identify the user. In the incorrect case where the user is no longer in LDAP and the normal command fails due to User Not Found, you can delete the user's database data by specifying -g uniqueID, where uniqueID is the user's old LDAP uniqueID. Only use -g when users are no longer defined in LDAP.

-v

--verbose

Detailed information is displayed about each of the users in the database.

Used with the -f and -B options.


davadmin account Examples

  • To list the account for a user:

    davadmin account list -a john.smith@example.com
    

    Note:

    If a calendar name contains a special character, such as a space, account list does not display the expanded character, but calendar list does. For example, for a calendar named "a b c," account list displays the calendar as "a b c," but calendar list, because it uses the URI, displays "/home/user@example.com/a%20b%20c." In this case, the expanded character "" that represents the space is displayed.
  • To create an account for user1@example.com:

    davadmin account create -a user1@example.com
    
  • To create an account for user1 under the LDAP base o=isp (the user has to be previously provisioned in LDAP):

    davadmin account create -B "o=isp" -R "uid=user1"
    
  • To create an account for all users whose uid starts with "user1" (the users have to be previously provisioned in LDAP) and have all of their notifemail properties set to disabled:

    davadmin account create -B "o=isp" -R "uid=user1*" -y "notifemail=0"
    
  • To create the calendar account with default calendar for a provisioned resource:

    davadmin account create -a resource1@example.com
    
  • To delete an account:

    davadmin account delete -a john.smith@example.com
    

    Note:

    This deletes the account from the calendar database. To completely remove the account from LDAP, see "Removing Calendar Users."
  • To delete a user's calendar entries, with all events and todos prior to and including today:

    davadmin account delcomponents -a caluser31@example.com -d 0
    
  • To set the scheduling rights on John Smith's account to allow Jane Doe to schedule events and all other users to just do free busy checks:

    davadmin account modify -a john.smith@example.com -y acl="jane.doe@example.com:s;@:f"
    
  • To clear a resource's owner field:

    davadmin account modify -a resource1@example.com -y owner=""
    

    After running this command, the resource then has no owner.

  • To repair the owner list for a resource account:

    davadmin account repair -o -a calresource@example.com
    
  • To set the value of two individual ACEs in the ACL:

    davadmin account modify -a user30@example.com -y set-ace="user19@example.com:s;user20@example.com:f"
    
  • To remove an individual ACE from the ACL:

    davadmin account modify -a user30@example.com -y remove-ace=user19@example.com
    
  • To create two accounts and set their properties by using an input file:

    Input File:

    user1@example.com:notifemail=0,attendanceflag=5
    user2@example.com:notifemail=1,notifrecipients=user4@example.com;user3@example.com
    

    Command:

    davadmin account create -f input_file.txt
    
  • To modify the previous two accounts and set their properties by using an input file:

    davadmin account modify -f input_file.txt
    

davadmin backend

Use this command to add information for an additional back-end calendar store.

Syntax

davadmin config

Use this command to perform configuration operations, such as display a particular parameter, set a particular parameter, or list all parameters. Some configuration operations require that you restart Calendar Server. The davadmin config modify command informs you if the change requires you to restart Calendar Server to take effect.

Syntax

davadmin config [ list | modify ]
                [-u id] [-W] [-F clifile] [-H hostname]
                [-p port] [-s path] [-o property] [-v value]
                [-d] [-f file] [-e] [-q] [-h] [-M]

config Operation

Table 16-18 describes the actions for the config operation.

Table 16-18 Actions for config Operation

Command Description

list

Lists all configuration settings. This is the default action if not included on the command line.

modify

Modifies a configuration setting.


Options for config Operation

Table 16-19 describes a list of options for config operations that can be provided, unless you are displaying usage by using the -h option. See "Calendar Server Configuration Parameters" for the complete list of configuration parameters.

Table 16-19 Options for config Operation

Short Option Long Option Description

-o option

--option

Configuration option name. Gets the optional value if specified without -v. Sets the option value if specified with a -v.

-v value

--value

Configuration option value.

-f file

--file

Local file with list of configuration option=value entries for setting. Pay attention to backslashes included in this input file. Backslashes are treated as an escape character for the next character in the line. For a single backslash to be properly interpreted in a string, you must precede each backslash with another backslash; that is, use an additional backslash. For example, to include the string "^/principals/\z", you would use "^/principals/z". This is due to the way that Java reads in properties files. For more information, see the load(Reader reader) method of the java.util.Properties class at http://docs.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/index.html

-M

--modonly

Lists the modified configuration properties (non-default values).

-d

--default

Sets the value to the default when used with the modify action. Lists the default value when used with the list action.

-h

--help

Description of config option if specified with -o. Otherwise, usage of davadmin config.


davadmin config Examples

    Enter Admin password: 
    davcore.acl.defaultschedulingacl: @:s 
    

davadmin db

Use this command to perform database related operations, such as backing up and restoring the database, and upgrading the database schema.

Unlike other davadmin commands that communicate with GlassFish Server, the davadmin db commands communicate directly with the back-end database, and thus require that you specify the database host name, port, and password.

Although the davadmin db commands are not related to GlassFish Server like the other davadmin commands, davadmin db commands do still use parameter values in the davadmin.properties file if applicable.

Because each database back end is associated with a database host name, port, document store, and so on, in a multiple back-end deployment, use a unique clifile (specified with the -F option) for each back end in the deployment.

In a non-default deployment or multiple back-end deployment, properly define options such as (-d database) and (-u dbuser), which might need to use specific and not default values.

Syntax

davadmin db [ backup | init | list | restore | schema_version |
              schema_fullupgrade | schema_preupgrade ] 
             [-h] [-e] [-W] [-t dbtype] [-H dbhost] [-p dbport] [-F clifile]
             [-u dbuserid]  [-d database] [-s truststore] [-b blockfactor] 
             [-D domain] [-a account_mail] [-T token] [-O] [-i path]
             [-c] [-A docstore] [-z preupgradefunction] [-k backup_file]

db Operation

Table 16-20 describes the actions for the davadmin db operation.

Table 16-20 Actions for db Operation

Command Description

backup

Backs up a database.

init

Completely initializes the database.

Caution: All data will be lost.

list

List contents of a backup file. This is the default action if not included on the command line.

restore

Restores the contents of a database.

schema_version

Displays version information for the database, connector, and product schema number.

schema_fullupgrade

Provides an optional way to perform a full upgrade of the database schema. For more information about upgrading database schema and upgrading Calendar Server, see "Upgrading Calendar Server" in Calendar Server Installation and Configuration Guide.

schema_preupgrade

Provides an optional way to perform a pre-upgrade on the database schema. For more information about upgrading database schema and upgrading Calendar Server, see "Upgrading Calendar Server" in Calendar Server Installation and Configuration Guide.


Caution:

Do not run either the schema_fullupgrade or schema_preupgrade without fully understanding the impact on your Calendar Server deployment.

The davadmin db backup, list, and restore commands require that you specify the associated document store by using the -A option, or the docstore option in the clifile.

Note:

If you are using a remote document store, you must set the document store password on the Calendar Server host by using the davadmin passfile command and that password must match the one set for the remote document store. This password is used whenever the backup or restore commands access the remote document store.

Options for db Operation

Table 16-21 describes the options for the db operation (in addition to the common options).

  • services-up - Executes all pre-upgrade functions that can be run with old services up. (Online DDL) Otherwise and most commonly, pre-upgrade functions must be run with services shut down.

  • services-down - Executes all pre-upgrade functions that cannot be run with services up.

  • all - Executes all available pre-upgrade functions. Services should be shut down.

For a list of available functions by release, see "Preupgrade Functions" in in Calendar Server Installation and Configuration Guide.

Unless otherwise specified, never run pre-upgrade functions with services up. In addition, always back up your database before upgrading.

Preupgrade functions are listed for each release. Some function names execute multiple preupgrade functions.

schema_preupgrade


davadmin db Examples

  • To perform a full database backup:

    davadmin db backup -k backup_file
    
  • To perform a full backup for a particular user:

    davadmin db backup -k backup_file -a john.smith@example.com
    
  • To perform an incremental backup:

    davadmin db backup -k backup_file -T token obtained from last full backup
    
  • To perform a full backup for a particular domain:

    davadmin db backup -k backup_file -D sesta.com
    
  • To list the contents of the backup file:

    davadmin db list -c backup_file
    

    When the davadmin db list -c command retrieves backup file content, it goes through the checksums and is thus a way to verify the structure of the backup file itself.

  • To perform a restore from a backup file:

    davadmin db restore -k backup_file
    
  • To restore from a backup file and overwrite a calendar:

    davadmin db restore -O -e -W -k /export-filepath -i "hosted.domain/mail:given.surname@hosted.domain/" -H mysqlcalhost -A  matching_document_store_host:8007 > /log_output_file
    
  • To restore only the default 'calendar:'

    davadmin db restore -O -e -W -k /export-filepath -i "hosted.domain/mail:given.surname@hosted.domain/calendar/" -H mysqlcalhost -A  matching_document_store_host:8007 > /log_output_file
    
  • To restore only a calendar named Soccer:

    davadmin db restore -O -e -W -k /export-filepath -i "hosted.domain/mail:given.surname@hosted.domain/Soccer/" -H mysqlcalhost -A  matching_document_store_host:8007 > /log_output_file
    
  • To back up using SSL and the trustStore file:

    davadmin db backup -k /tmp/backup_file -O -A docstore_host.example.com:8008 -s /my_home/my_truststore -u mysql
    
  • To execute a database schema preupgrade:

    davadmin db schema_preupgrade -z preupgrade_function
    

    This command executes one preupgrade function. A preupgrade function is an upgrade change to the database, which can be run before the formal upgrade. This command does not change the database schema version.

  • To execute all available preupgrade functions:

    davadmin db schema_preupgrade -z all
    

    Prior to running this command, ensure that all services are shut down.

  • To execute all preupgrade functions that cannot be run with services down:

    davadmin db schema_preupgrade -z services-down

User search filter in LDAP. Default is (objectClass=icsCalendarUser).

-T time

--starttime

Scan data entered into the server after this time. Format: yyyymmddThhmmssZ"

-r

--force

Force delete any data found as a positive hit during the virus scan. This overrides the davcore.virusscan.clivirusaction variable. So with davcore.virusscan.clivirusaction set to empty string (no delete) viruses are listed in the scan log after a scan. Then you can add a -r to the scan to delete offending data after review, without needing to change the virus scan configuration parameters.

-h

--help

Help for that particular operation. Optional.


For more information about how to set up and manage virus scanning, see "Configuring and Managing Virus Scanning."

davadmin vscan Examples

The davadmin vscan command operates through the GlassFish Server, and can thus operate on any of the back ends configured with the specific Calendar Server. (There may very well only be one.)

  • To list the back ends:

    davadmin backend list -u admin
    
    defaultbackend 
    ischedulebackend 
    

    Normally you would want to scan the "defaultbackend" since that is where calendar user's events and attachements are stored.

  • To scan the entire default back end:

    davadmin vscan scan -u admin -n "defaultbackend"
    
  • To scan a single user's data given their calendar server registered email address:

    davadmin vscan scan -u admin -a joe.smith@example.com
    
  • To use LDAP base and filter to specify one or more users to scan:

    davadmin vscan scan -u admin -n defaultbackend -B "o=dav" -R "uid=caluser12" 
    davadmin vscan scan -u admin -n defaultbackend -B "o=dav" -R "(|(uid=caluser222)(uid=caluser111))" 
    

    In this example, using just a uid filter might not be specific enough for multiple domains. Perhaps use ldapsearch to test filters if needed.

  • To scan data at or beyond February 14th, 2011, 1am Zulu:

    davadmin vscan scan -u admin -n defaultbackend -T 20110214T010000Z
    

    Specifying a -T only scans data at the specified time and later, and is a big time saver for ignoring older data already scanned. In the scan log, the time just before the scan began is printed at the end of the run so it can be used with the -T option in the next scan if no new virus rules are relevant.

Note:

The davadmin vscan command uses the same virus scan configuration as online virus scan, however it does not use the onlineenable variable. Thus, you can run command-line scans without needing to affect incoming data if desired.

JConsole

The data and operations exposed by the MXBeans in the CalDAV server are accessible and modifiable by using JConsole. All Admin Beans can be found under com.sun.comms.davserver.adminutil.

AdminAccountMXBean Operation

Provides createAccounts, deleteAccounts, listAccounts, modifyAccounts, deleteCalComponents and fixAccountMail operations.

AdminBackendMXBean Operation

Provides createBackend and getBackends operations.

AdminCalComponentMXBean Operation

Provides getCalComponentInfo, getCalComponents, deleteCalComponents, importCalComponents and exportCalComponents operations.

AdminCalendarMXBean Operation

Provides createCalcollection, modifyCalCollection, deleteCalCollection and getCalCollections operations.

AdminConfigMBean Operation

You use the getConfigParam and setConfigParam operations to get and set configuration options. The AllConfigParams operation provides a list of the configuration parameters. The value in JConsole is displayed as a "java.lang.String[]" array and double-clicking this field shows the individual parameters. The getConfigParamDescription operation is used to get a detailed description of a parameter.

AdminMigrationMXBean Operation

Provides checkStatus and migrate operations.

AdminMiscMXBean Operation

The version attribute of this MBean provides the server version.

AdminUtilMXBean

This is the super class for all Admin...MXBeans. It provides the checkConnection operation.

Starting GlassFish Server in Secure Mode

If GlassFish Server is running in a secure mode, JConsole needs to be started with the truststorepath (-Djavax.net.ssl.trustStore) and optionally truststorepassword (-Djavax.net.ssl.trustStorePassword) passed in.

Summary of davadmin Changes by Release

Topics in this section:

Changes in Calendar Server 7 Update 1

  • The calresource operation has been renamed to calcomponent.

  • The migration operation has been added for migration of data from Calendar Server 6.3 to Calendar Server 7.

  • The account operation has been added to enable listing, deletion, and properties modification of user accounts.

  • The calendar operation has been enhanced to enable setting of more calendar properties.

Changes in Calendar Server 7 Update 2

  • The davadmin command has been made more secure in Calendar Server 7 Update 2 by the removal of the capability to "pass in" passwords by using a password file. All davadmin passwords must now be entered by typing in to a no-echo prompt.

  • The backend and vscan arguments have been added.

  • The dbhost property replaces the dbhostname property.

  • The create, delcomponents, and repair actions have been added to the account operation.

  • The config -l option has been removed. Use config list now.

  • The -t option has been added to the davadmin db command.

  • The list and modify actions have been added to the davadmin config command.

Changes in Calendar Server 7 Update 2 Patch 5

  • The davadmin command has also been updated to list calendars belonging to resource accounts owned by a user.

  • To clear a resource's owner field, run the davadmin account modify -a resource -y owner="" command.

  • The repair operation has been enhanced to include the -m option, to repair the user's email address after an email change, and the -o option, to update the owner lists of all accounts.

  • The list operation displays managed calendars for an account.

  • The davadmin calcomponent import command enables the import to continue even if an error occurs on an item being imported.

  • You can create a password file for use with the davadmin command to store administrator passwords for the GlassFish Server administrative user, the migration administrative user, and the database user.

Changes in Calendar Server 7 Update 3

  • The passfile option has been updated to accommodate setting a password on the local and remote document store.

  • A new command, davadmin ldappool, has been added to support LDAP pools (which are used in configuring external Directory Server authentication).

  • The davadmin account list command now displays a list of all users in the database and their details.

Changes in Calendar Server 7.0.4.14.0

  • The -v option to davadmin account list displays the details of each account at the same time.

  • The davadmin account command takes subscribe and unsubscribe actions, so that a Calendar Server administrator can subscribe or unsubscribe calendars for a user. The subscribe and unsubscribe actions take either a single collection path on the command line, specified by -c, or a set of collection paths in a file, specified by -C.

  • The davadmin config list -M command lists changed options only.

  • The davadmin config -d option sets the value to the default when used with the modify action. Additionally it lists the default value when used with the list action.

  • The davadmin account -y operation and davadmin -y calendar operation take the set-ace and remove-ace properties.

  • The davadmin db -s operation supplies the path to the trustStore file that contains the SSL certificate for secure communications with the remote document store.

  • You can now set account properties with the new account operation option by using an input file (-f option). Previously, the -f option used to only allow a user name per line. Now it allows a user name followed by properties for that user.

  • The davadmin account upgrade operation sets the next presence triggers for all existing events in the future. You must run davadmin account upgrade after upgrading from Calendar Server 7 Update 3 or prior releases for existing future events to have their presence triggers set.

  • The davadmin db backup, list, and restore commands now require that you specify the associated document store. You specify the document store by using the -A option, or the docstore option in the CLI file.

Changes in Calendar Server 7.0.4.16.0

  • The -v option to the davadmin calendar list -a user command displays a summary for all calendars belonging to the user.

Changes in Calendar Server 7.0.5.17.0

  • The davadmin db command now takes the schema_version, schema_fullupgrade, and schema_preupgrade operations.
