ical "authentication failed. your username and password were rejected by the server"
i've a pretty busy server, fully configured with correct DNS.
running 10.6.8, uptodate. i've stopped the ical service, and removed it from the server settings.
then i created a folder on my RAID /volumes/raid/ical, set its ownership to _calendar:_calendar (uid 93), rwx,rx,-
then added the iCal service back, and set the data store to this new folder.
authentication is set to digest (to reduce potential kerberos errors), with SSL on.
i then started the service
an existing user CANNOT connect to the caldav server. i get the error: ical "authentication failed. your username and password were rejected by the server".
if i create a NEW user, that user can correctly connect to the Caldav server. On first joining, an entry is created in the __uids__ folder and the calender works.
SO. WHAT IS GOING ON?
this is 10.6, so i do not have an option in WGM to 'enable calendering'. i've used the inspector to check for differences, but i can't see any.
help. please. and no comments about DNS. the fact i can get a new user to function means that is excluded. no comments about SSL. ditto. no comments about kerberos, its turned off. thanks.
