-This [wiki:DirectoryService directory service] is configurable via an XML file
that contains principal information.
-
-== Configuring the Calendar Server ==
-
-The full name of the implementation class is
`twistedcaldav.directory.xmlfile.XMLDirectoryService` and the service takes an
`xmlFile` parameter which contains the name of the XML file to read principal
information from.
-
-For example:
-
-{{{
-<!-- XML File Directory Service -->
-<key>DirectoryService</key>
-<dict>
- <key>type</key>
- <string>twistedcaldav.directory.xmlfile.XMLDirectoryService</string>
-
- <key>params</key>
- <dict>
- <key>xmlFile</key>
- <string>/etc/caldavd/accounts.xml</string>
- </dict>
-</dict>
-}}}
-
-The service re-reads the XML file if it's timestamp changes, so edits to the
XML file should not require a server restart.
-
-== Configuring principals ==
-
-A "principal" is WebDAV terminology for an "identifier" that can be used for
authentication and access control purposes. Typically it is used to represent
the users of the system, as well as other types of items needing some
"presence" on the system.
-
-The principals supported by the XMLDirectoryService are:
-
- * `users`: individual (typically human) users of the system
- * `groups`: a group of other principals (can be a mixture of any of the
principal types)
- * `locations`: rooms or locations where meetings can be held
- * `resources`: inanimate objects that also need to be part of a meeting
(e.g., a projector)
-
-Principals are expressed in an XML document. The root element `accounts` has
an attribute `realm` which describes the authentication realm. It contains
principal elements which, in turn contain elements describing the principal.
The element itself (`user`, `group`, `location`, `resource`) denotes the "type"
of the principal.
-
- * `uid`: the login identifier for the principal.
- * `guid`: the unique identifier for the principal - must be unique on this
server at least.
- * `password`: the principal's password in plain text.
- * `name`: the principal's full name (or description).
- * `members`: contains a list of `uid`s for the principals which are members
of the principal being defined. A principal that has members is termed a
"group principal". Only principals of type "group" should be configured to
have members. The `members` element has `member` sub-elements used to specify
each member. The `member` element has a `type` attribute that defines the
principal type of the member (one of `users`, `groups`, `locations` and
`resources`), and the text value inside the `member` element is the
corresponding `uid` of the principal being referenced. Any type of principal
may be a member of a group, including other groups. You should avoid creating
"loops" by having two groups reference each other.
- * `cuaddr`: a calendar user address for the principal. Calendar user
addresses must be URIs and must be unique to the principal (ie. the same
calendar user address may not be used to identify multiple principals). Note
that the server will add it's own calendar user address to principals (eg. the
principal's URI on the server is always a valid calendar user address).
Multiple `cuaddr` elements may be provided for a principal. The calendar user
address is the identifier used for sending inviting principals to meetings.
- * `disable-calendar`: when present, this element indicates that the specified
principal is able to login to the calendar server, but is not setup with a
calendar and cannot do scheduling. This type of principal is typically used to
allow access to a shared group calendar without having to setup a "personal"
calendar account for the user. This element can only be specified on `user` and
`group` principal types.
- * `auto-schedule`: when present, this element indicates that the server will
automatically process scheduling messages for the corresponding principal. i.e.
when a scheduling message arrives, if it does not conflict with an existing
meeting it will be automatically accepted and "booked" into the principal's
main calendar, or if it does conflict it will be automatically declined. This
element can only be defined on `location` and `resource` principal types.
- * `proxies`: this element contains a list of `member` elements that define
which other principals have read-write proxy/delegate access to the
corresponding principal's calendar data.
-
-For example:
-
-{{{
-<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
-<accounts realm="Test Realm">
- <user>
- <uid>admin</uid>
- <password>admin</password>
- <name>Super User</name>
- </user>
- <user>
- <uid>test</uid>
- <password>test</password>
- <name>Test User</name>
- <cuaddr>mailto:[email protected]</cuaddr>
- </user>
- <group>
- <uid>users</uid>
- <password>users</password>
- <name>Users Group</name>
- <members>
- <member type="users">test</member>
- </members>
- </group>
- <location>
- <uid>mercury</uid>
- <password>mercury</password>
- <name>Mecury Conference Room, Building 1, 2nd Floor</name>
- <auto-schedule/>
- <proxies>
- <member type="users">test</member>
- </proxies>
- </location>
-</accounts>
