About iCal Service
The calendar service for Mac OS X Server, iCal Server, makes it easy for users to share
calendars, schedule meetings, and coordinate events. Colleagues can quickly and easily
check each other’s availability, set up and propose meetings, book conference rooms,
reserve projectors, and more. iCal Server sends the invitations, which can include
information such as an agenda or to-do list, and tabulates replies.
A computer with Mac OS X version 10.5 Leopard can have its iCal application
automatically set up to use iCal Server. See “Setting Up Leopard Users’ Macs
Automatically” on page 79.
iCal server also works with other popular calendar applications that support the
standard CalDAV protocol.
