Setting Up CalDAV and CardDAV Publishing on an Android Device

The native Calendar and Contact (address book) applications for Android do not support CalDAV and CardDAV and, as a result, require a third-party client to connect to the CalDAV and CardDAV server. To enable CalDAV and CardDAV on your Android device, you must follow the instructions of the selected third-party application.

Before setting up CalDAV or CardDAV publishing on your Android device, make sure that you can access the Siebel application on your device. Other items to note include the following:

• Enable Use SSL on your Android device if required.

  Your decision to Use SSL or not depends on how the Siebel Application Interface is configured to access Siebel CalDAV and CardDAV.

• Use the following Home URL to connect to the server:

  http://webserver_hostname:port/siebel/dav/language/user_name

  For example: http://caldav.example.com:1661/siebel/dav/enu/JDOE/

  Depending on the client, you might have to use the collection URLs instead:

  • CalDAV: http://webserver_hostname:port/siebel/dav/language/user_name/calendar/event/

    For example: http://caldav.example.com:1661/siebel/dav/enu/JDOE/calendar/event/

  • CardDAV: http://webserver_hostname:port/siebel/dav/language/user_name/addressbook/contact

    For example: http://carddav.example.com:16661/siebel/dav/enu/JDOE/addressbook/contact/

• The user name and password credentials must be the same credentials used to log in to the Siebel application.

• Accept the server certificate if Use SSL is enabled.

• The CalDAV Provider is Generic.

• The CardDAV Provider is Generic.

• The WebDav Provider is Generic.
