I work on a campus that is comprised of multiple separate institutions,
each with its own groupware infrastructure. Some use AD and Exchange
Server, some use Groupwise, some use Open Directory, open source email,
and iCal or a similar vCalendar application such as Mozilla for sharing
calendar info. I have been tasked with setting up a service that will
allow these organizations to have a shared address book and shared
calendaring. This service will be a "slave" to the various
infrastructures, not a master repository of anything. So, it needs to
be able to do the following:
* provide either pass-through LDAP lookups to the various LDAP servers,
or maintain an LDAP repository that is synced to the various servers
* pull free/busy information from Exchange Server, Groupwise, and
individually published iCal or vCalendar files--this should include
being able to have icalendar files published directly to it, and the
capability of pulling published icalendar files from other locations
* provide free/busy information to the various client software such as
Outlook, iCal, Groupwise, etc.
* act as a free/busy server for Outlook clients
I would of course prefer to run this on an XServe, but I'm open to
anything. Before I dive into this project, I'd like to make sure I'm
not reinventing the wheel...does anybody know of anyone who's doing
something like this already?
Thanks,
Jon
