Email addresses are used to identify any object (user or resource), because email addresses are unique. > 2) Do resources have a calendar?

I cannot answer this for sure, but my resources have a calendar and I did not do anything special for this... ;-)

It depends on what kind of notification settings you have: If you globally enabled email notifications, then emails will be send. > 4) Resources always seem to accept the invite (if I click on the event, I see > a > green icon next to the resource name), even if there is a conflict and no > events show up in the free/busy. Maybe the number of bookings isn't set right? I have the very same issue: Although "MultipleBookings" is set to 1, people in Lightning are able to book a resource even if the resource isn't available. They get a warning, but in case they ignore it, the resource auto-accepts the event. I think the right behavior for sogo would be to reject the invitation to the second event. The web interface handles this differently: one cannot save the event when a resource is already busy (but without any message informing the user). > 4) How are resources supposed to show up in addressbooks?

Resources show up in the address book just like people. The only way to reasonably distinguish them is to use a proper naming. For use with lighning, you need to move the resources in the very same LDAP tree (or database) the users are in. Otherwise they will not auto complete (as lightning is only able to auto-complete from one SOGo-Source). > > LDIF entry: (I hacked the schema Marttin Lehmann to allow uid and mail fields > in the CalendarResource) You might just add the inetOrgPerson for the mail and uid field. This is more clean than modifying a scheme that might once be included in the standard. > dn: cn=ResourceTest,ou=people,dc=company > objectClass: organizationalRole > objectClass: top > objectClass: CalendarResource > cn: ResourceTest > Multiplebookings: 1 > Kind: location > mail: resourcet...@company.com > uid: resourcetest I am using the following objectClasses: CalendarResource, calEntry, inetOrgPerson, person, top these objectClasses require "cn" and "sn" additionally I am using: "displayName", "givenName", "Kind", "mail" "Multiplebookings" and "uid". I am using cn, sn, displayName and givenname to make searching easier: cn = Big Meetingroom sn = Meetingroom displayName = MyCorp Big Meetingroom givenName = Big (and displayName is used for naming the entry in address book) > and the SOGo sources config: [SNIP] Hope this helps. -- Adi -- users@sogo.nu https://inverse.ca/sogo/lists
