GSD WebDAV Client synchronization
Multiple database configuration
In case web-dav is connected to more than one database, each request should have a databaseAlias prefix.
When there is only one database configured for particular web-dav service databaseAlias remains empty.
Sync time range
To prevent too many events synchronization, you have opportunity to set the time range of synchronization, both bottom and top range. You can set it in global settings window:
Note
Series appointments that partially exceed the time range will always be displayed
iOS CalDavSynchronization
To synchronize contacts and calendars on iOS we have to open settings window and choose Accounts & Passwords tab.
In this case to synchronize contacts (CardDAV) and calendars (CalDAV), needed are two separate profiles. For example, to synchronize contacts, we have to create a profile by using the Add CardDAV Account option and configure it. In the first field you need to put the address of ma-dav web service according to following formula:
| Module | Pattern | Example |
|---|---|---|
| xDav | https://ipaddress:port/databaseAlias/p/username |
https://192.168.1.41:8888/databaseAlias/p/admin |
| xDav | https://yourdomain/databaseAlias/p/username |
https://ma-dav.gsd.pl/databaseAlias/p/admin |
| xMa | https://ipaddress:port/databaseAlias/p/deviceId |
https://192.168.1.41:8888/databaseAlias/p/76A1 |
| xMa | https://yourdomain/databaseAlias/p/deviceId |
https://ma-dav.gsd.pl/databaseAlias/p/76A1 |
Second field is for username:
| Module | Pattern | Example |
|---|---|---|
| xDav | username |
admin |
| xMa | username |
admin |
Third one is for user's web password, but in case of xMA module your password field should contains also xMA deviceId according to below format:
| Module | Pattern | Example |
|---|---|---|
| xDav | webpassword |
abcd |
| xMa | webpassword;deviceId | abcd;76A1 |
The ; sign between password and deviceId is mandatory. Settings for CarDAV and CalDAV profiles are the same.
