CalDAV configuration (macOS user policy)

With the CalDAV configuration you configure the synchronization of calendar data with a CalDAV server. For example, use this to sync Google Calendar with a Mac.

Setting Description
Account name The display name of the CalDAV account on the device.
Server The host name or IP address of the CalDAV server.
Port The port number of the CalDAV server.
Principal URL If required by the CalDAV server, enter the principal URL of the calendar resource.

For example, to sync with a calendar other than the primary calendar in a Google account, enter:

https://apidata.googleusercontent.com/caldav/v2/calendar_id/user

where calendar_id is the ID of the calendar you want to sync with. In the Google Calendar web application, the calendar ID is displayed in the calendar settings. See the Google Calendar help for details.

User name, Password The login credentials for the CalDAV account.

For example, for Google Calendar enter the credentials of the Google account.

SSL/TLS The connection to the CalDAV server is secured by SSL or TLS (depending on what the server supports).

We recommend that you select this check box.
