How do I import shared calendars from outlook?

Having just updated to Office for Mac 2011 I was pleased to see a shared calendar at long last (from an Exchange 2007 server). I'd still like to use my iCal app instead to synchronise both my own and shared calendar. Can I add this same shared calendar to iCal? If so how do I go about adding it. I've tried by adding in my account settings but need a user password (which I can't track down) for the shared calendar. What bugs me is that when I look for (and find) the shared calendar with Outlook, I don't need to use a password. What gives?

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.7)

Can someone break thsi down for me please. We are using small business server 2011 and everyone has a windows pc but me, I have a MBP. in outlook I can opend shared calendars no problem but when I try to us the "delegate" tab in ical's preferences nothing comes up. I cant neither share y calendar or open ones that have been shared with me. The only way aound this at this point is that I have to physically add their accounts on my MBP but I don't want to do this as this can be invading privacy since I can also get their mails. I know I can untick email when i add their accounts but the fact that I still ahve the option to tick it annoys me as I wouldnt want others doing this with my account. Can someone point me in the right direction here.


P.S. One of my colleagues bought a MBP yesterday and his was as simple as plug and play. He can share his calendar and open shared ones with ical but I still cant he his. We are both running lion. I'm starting to think this is more of a server issue with permissions or something, mind you I have basic computer knowledge.
