    Set up calendar on other devices

    There is the possibility to implement a CalDav calendar from the mailserver on your devices. That way you don't need to use Horde, but rather the calendar is directly displayed on your smartphone.

    Information required for implementing CalDav:

    CalDAV-Server webmail.fa.uni-tuebingen.de
    Username Username (ohne @math.uni-tuebingen.de)
    Secure login/TLS usage? Yes
    Port 443
    Account-URL https://webmail.fa.uni-tuebingen.de/rpc.php/principals/[USERNAME]/
    Calendar-URL

    https://webmail.fa.uni-tuebingen.de/rpc.php/principals/[USERNAME]/[RANDKEY]

    (siehe Hinweis unten)
    Path (for MacOS) /rpc.php/principals/[USERNAME]/

    To get a certain calendar bound on an external device or shared with a colleague, follow the steps below:

    1. Log in to Horde
    2. Go to the Calendar-Tab.
    3. Click on the pencil icon, next to the calendar you want to share.
    4. Now you have two possibilities to share the calendar: under "Sharing" you can add internal users in the field "Share with the users:"; remember to set the wished rights ("read..." or "read and edit...").
    5. If you want to share the calendar with external users or use it on a Mail- and calendar client, the go to "Subscription". There you can choose between the formats CalDAV and WebDAV/ICS and add the corresponding subscription address to your device.
    6. Adding an address to an external software varies depending on the software used.
