EGW 1.8 on debian + OSX AddressBook

[fzpulce]

Is there anyone running egroupware 1.8 able to sync Mac OS X 10.6 addressbook ?

i’ve recently updated to egw 1.8001. I’ve added the .htaccess configuration file to my apache docroot but Addressbook still refuse to sync.

(It doesn’t find the egw caldav server)

thanks in advance

Yes,
it works with the personal addressbook out of the box with the
.htacess file.

You can test that with a EGroupware trial version from Stylite:

http://www.stylite.de/egroupware_hosting_trial

please check the documentation:
http://www.stylite.de/egroupware_sync_mac_addressbook

If you want to use a group addressbook, you have to change the config
file on you mac.

best regards

Stefan

Hi,
thankyou for your reply.

I’ve tryed the trial version on egroupware.de. It works.

So i think this is a server side configuration problem (not a Mac OS Bug).

My document root for the virtual host is the egroupware directory. Could be this configuration the problem ?

any tip, advice or suggestion ?

please help !
Thanks in advance

Here is the apache conf virtualhost

Hi all,

i’ve found the problem. You can’t use login names containing @ char.

Log at lig error log line:

Dec 16 19:31:59 hostname Address Book[2814]: [ABSPlugin-ERROR] 'Error Domain=NSURLErrorDomain Code=-1003 UserInfo=0x115619db0 “Unable to find server name” Underlying Error=(Error Domain=kCFErrorDomainCFNetwork Code=-1003 UserInfo=0x114aeb560 during operation: Sending HTTP request: HTTP Request: PROPFIND https://user@mydomain.foo@egroupwareserveraddress:443/egroupware/groupdav.php/user@mydomain/↵ Headers: {↵ “Content-Type” = “text/xml; charset=utf-8”;↵ Depth = 0;↵}↵ Body: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>↵<D:propfind xmlns:D=“DAV:” xmlns:C=“urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:carddav”>↵<D:prop>↵<C:addressbook-home-set/>↵</D:prop>↵</D:propfind>↵↵

It seems a protocol implementation error made by apple coders.
They do not use quotes so the internal mac os x resolver can’t distinguish from the login credential and the server name.

Also trying to write the username in OS X address book CardDav panel using quotes do not fix the problem 'cause it produce a non exixtent (404 error) carddav path. (obviously!)

I’ve already filed the bug to apple the told me that they are investigating the problem and that This issue has been filed in their bug database under the original Bug ID# 7790253.

P.S. An easy way to workaround the problem should be the ability to define a login alias in the EGW’s User Account Managment Panel.
