Re: Re: [SOGo] Resources planning - Not working
Hello Resources looks to be what i need, but for users the idea of 'inviting' a room or a pool car to an event, just so you can book them seems quite alien. I can really see that what you've done here is great, but with the issues of usage, are you planning further changes to make this more userfriendly? Obviously what you wish to do also has to be available within Thunderbird too, which makes things harder .. Julian -- users@sogo.nu https://inverse.ca/sogo/lists

I've never used Outlook/Exchange so cant vouch for that, but the idea of 'Inviting' a resource just seems bizarre. Perhaps a different button, marked 'Select Resources' relating to resources would work better in the interface, but then its not something that would be duplicated in Lightning, which would be a problem.

From supporting Exchange environments, not so bizarre. These resources meeting rooms, etc usually have a secretary accepting on their behalf and a calendar to avoid double bookings.

Re: [SOGo] Resources planning - Not working
Hi Ludovic,
this is my configuration for SOGoUserSource:
{
CNFieldName = cn;
IDFieldName = uid;
KindFieldName = description;
MultipleBookingsFieldName = Multiplebookings;
UIDFieldName = uid;
baseDN = ou=resources,dc=my-company,dc=de;
bindDN = uid=sogoadmin,ou=bind,dc=my-company,dc=de;
bindPassword = password;
canAuthenticate = YES;
displayName = Resourcen;
hostname = 127.0.0.1;
id = resourcen;
isAddressBook = YES;
port = 389;
}
I tried also with KindFieldName = kind as I'm using the objectclass
CalendarResource from my own calresource.schema.
This is the ldiff of my resource audioraum:
# Entry 1: uid=audioraum,ou=resources,dc=my-company,dc=de...
dn: uid=audioraum,ou=resources,dc=my-company,dc=de
cn: audioraum
description: location
kind: location
mail: audior...@my-company.de
multiplebookings: 1
objectclass: inetOrgPerson
objectclass: organizationalPerson
objectclass: person
objectclass: top
objectclass: CalendarResource
sn: audioraum
uid: audioraum
vcarduid: audioraum
I'm running the latest nightlies.
Do you see any misconfiguration which can lead to the not working resources?
Thx,
Martin

I tried both methods and created a SOGoUserSources from your example.
Now, I can see resources like the global addressbook and in it my
test-resource room-a. But the test-resource room-a is an ordinary
address and not a special resource.
Does the webinterface no work with resouces yet?
It does.
Show your configuration and your LDIF entries - I can't guess what you
put in there.

It looks fine - you should make sure that the resource's access rights
to all authenticated users is at least view date time for public events.

Re: [SOGo] Resources planning - Not working
Hi Ludovic,
I was unable to find out how it should work correctly. Could you give
more details?
I tried both methods and created a SOGoUserSources from your example.
Now, I can see resources like the global addressbook and in it my
test-resource room-a. But the test-resource room-a is an ordinary
address and not a special resource.
Does the webinterface no work with resouces yet?
I thought that resouces are shown in the calendar with a begin-/end-date.

@ludovic: I've created a schema from the draft for me. But there were
some errors in the draft so I'd to fix it and I've assigned a OID for
the placeholder x in the draft. This solution works for me. If you're
interested I can send it.

Hello,
A new feature has just landed in the SOGo code: resources planning.
It's now possible to tell SOGo how to identify resources (conference
rooms, projectors, etc.) and apply constraints on them to avoid
double-bookings and to automatically accept the invitation for them.
This works right now only over LDAP and you can identify resources
using either :
a- the calendarresource objectClass (see
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-cal-resource-schema-03)
b- a specific LDAP attribute (specified by the KindFieldName
parameter in your SOGoUserSources) which must hold either location,
thing or group (also see the URL above)
Then, you must also set how many simultaneous bookings are allowed for
this resource. A value of 0 means no limit. This limit is also read
from a LDAP attribute specified by MultipleBookingsFieldName.
If SOGo can't determine it's a resource, the code will work just like
it did before - meaning that someone must accept/decline the
invitation for the resource. If it can, the following scenarios are
possible:
1- automatically accept the invitation for the resource if there's no
conflict
2- prevent save operations if there's a conflict (ie., someone tries
to use a resource already scheduled for an other meeting)
A SOGoUserSources entry which can handle resources might look like :
{
CNFieldName = cn;
IDFieldName = uid;
KindFieldName = description;
MultipleBookingsFieldName = multiplebook;
UIDFieldName = uid;
baseDN = dc=inverse,dc=ca;
bindDN = cn=sogo,ou=services,dc=inverse,dc=ca;
bindPassword = zot;
canAuthenticate = YES;
displayName = Partag\U00E9;
hostname = 127.0.0.1;
id = public;
isAddressBook = YES;
port = 389;
},
while a resource defined in LDAP *could* look like :
dn: uid=room103,ou=resources,dc=inverse,dc=ca
objectClass: inetOrgPerson
objectClass: organizationalPerson
objectClass: person
objectClass: top
uid: room103
mail: room...@inverse.ca
cn: room103
sn: room103
multiplebook: 1
description: location
Nightly builds are being regenerated and should be available in less
than 30 mins with that code in.
