I've got the iCal server up and running, but am unsure about push. The iCal server is configured with the push notification service active. When I create an event in the web calendar the event doesn't get pushed to my iCal app on my mac with snow leopard. The same is true if I create an event in iCal and wait for it in the web calendar. Invitations and notifications aren't pushed either. In iCal app settings for my account is set to push. In order to retrieve updated calendar info, I must right click on the calendar and select 'Refresh.'
Does anyone have the iCal push functionality working. Does OSX SN require an update like the iPhone to be compatible?
Any help or info is greatly appreciated.
MBP 2.53, Pwr Mac G5 Quad, MacBook Core 2 Duo, iBook G3, Mac Mini, iMac G4,
Mac OS X (10.6),
Mac OS X Server 10.5, 10.6
The push notification server is running and iCal is configured to use it. The iCal service and push notification is running on the same machine. For some reason in server admin, *the push notification server shows two instances of my iCal server.* It has a FQDN and an IP both of which are the same iCal service. The mail server is also listed here.
I didn't see any iCal errors in the push error log, although I didn't really know what I was looking for. There was a reoccurring jabber error, which is weird because jabber isn't even running and has never been configured. The error is as follows:
2009-09-08 17:04:38-0400 [Uninitialized] <twisted.internet.tcp.Connector instance at 0x578e68> will retry in 6 seconds

I deleted my CalDav account in iCal app and tried to add it again. The push option is no longer available, I can only fetch. Push is still running on the server and configured
This is aggravating! Push isn't even possible on iPhones, then doesn't work correctly on iCal. Apple, I bought snow leopard to use it's push functionality and I'm not impressed. I've never had a problem with an Apple product, but this is terrible.
Alright,
I did another fresh install of SLServer. I was able to get Push Notifications working at the server but not on other systems. I am able to manually refresh my iCal on client systems and I see the notifications but for some very strange reason, it isn't pushing. I created a test account on the server, set up iCal on the server for the test account and I can add events on a client system and the Push Notifications work at the server. Push Notification service in Server Admin says I have 2 Connected Clients.
I too have fallen victim to Apple's very misleading ways. I am able to at least access my calendar from my iPhone, but I am not able to 1 get Push Notifications or 2 accept/decline invitations. Very Very Very misleading here.
I did a fresh install as well and got the same results as you. My push information in SA is correct now, one instance for mail and one for iCal. I did have to disconnect iCal from the push notifications server because SA said I only had one client connected, which was mail. I reconnected iCal with the push notifications server and SA now says I have 2 connected clients. If I use a test account on the server's iCal app I have push, but not on machines other than the server. My ical on a remote computer says I'm using push, but it doesn't work. This leads me to believe a port might need to be opened. I'm going to play around with it and post my results. Anyone else with info please feel free to post. Any help is greatly appreciated!
Our SL Server will do push fine. However I've currently only gotten it working inside our lan. Which is pretty useless. Updating calendars and so on work fine both from iphone and ical both internally and externally, but it doesn't push properly so Im guessing that I need to open up more ports.
Here's a shot in the dark since I'm looking into these issues for a client.
What happens with push notifications if you have an active VPN connection while on an outside connection?
This could be tied into the Mobile Access Service that would be running on a second machine. If VPN allows push notifications, then we have a better idea where we stand?
This could also be why apple cut the price of the server software in half. You could have to buy two licenses to run a Mobile Access Server.
I have to admit, I thought the same thing. The manual states that the Mobile Access Server is a "always on" connection.
A few people on this board stated the push works fine within the LAN, but not externally. I would be interested to see how the push services would work while using the MAS since it technically is a local connection.
I've tested iCal on 10.6 clients (not on Lan), and PUSH works fine, across multiple machines. Email also works fine (although I suspect its using IMAP IDLE).
So, I believe the Push Notification Server is working fine, ... its just we are waiting for an update on the iPhone to take advantage of it properly.
I've got iCal push working on the LAN, but not outside it. The push email works outside the LAN fine. I did a fresh install, with no luck. Is there specific ports that need to be opened up?
