How to sync iCal and Lotus Notes Calendar

I use Lotus Notes 8.5 client on my MacBook at work. Anyone knows how to synchronize Lotus Notes calendar and iCal?
This is the first step to have my lotus notes calendar entries on my iPhone. Or may be is there a way to do it directly?
I access to my Lotus notes client using password.
Thanks!

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.2)

Your Notes client can subscribe to an iCalendar feed, as long as that feed is Public. Share your iCloud calendar to Public, and iCloud will show you a URL that you can email to someone... copy that URL, change the prototol to https://, then go to Notes, Calendar, Show Calendars, Add a Calendar, iCalendar Feed, and use that URL. It's not a two-way sync, it simply adds the iCloud calendar to the same view as your Notes calendar. This works great for me to be able to see household events on the same glass as work events, without posting business data outside my company's servers.


Unfortunately I haven't been able to get this working without making the iCloud calendar public. If anyone has this working without giving the whole world the ability to stalk the iCloud calendar, please let me know.

Opps! Sorry, I misunderstood. Here's how I do it.


Whenever I create an appointment in Lotus Notes that crosses over to my personal time, I also invite my iCloud email address. Or if you make an iCloud appt you can also invite your Notes email address. It's perhaps inelegant, but works well for me.


I doubled-checked with our Notes admin and he said he's unaware of an automatic way to sync Mac OS X Calendar with Lotus Notes. He sounded pretty certain too.

I don't want a sync, I just want to be able to view my iCLoud calendar using the Notes client like I did with Google Calendar. I don't want my wife to invite me to every doc appt and lunch-with-girlfriends, but I want to see them on the same calendar as work so that if I'm asked about working late or out-of-town travel, I can see everything that is going on and answer appropriately. Notes lets me check and uncheck the additional calendars as I need at any point in time, so I can include or exclude them from view as the need dictates.

When you go to calendars you should have one from your company's administrator (Mobile Iron) and one for icloud you can select each one of them independently do you have such set up ? Mobile Iron should seamlessly with icloud, when you access your icloud at home from a different Mac you should be able to see the events, you don't have to do anything on your end, if you don't have this set up talk to your Mobile Iron administrator to see what kind of set up they have.
