Access as Remote Calendar
I searched and read a couple posts in this forum about using Lightning (or presumably Sunbird as well) to access Sun ONE Calendars remotely.
Can anyone shed some more light on this for me? Per a previous post, I am stuck on version 5.1.1 for another year or so. Using Lightning, I see there are options to access remote cals as iCalendar or CalDAV with a URL.
I updated my test calendar permissions and tried both these links. The CalDAV link was accepted, but no data was displayed. I didn't expect that to work, and was surprised not to see an error message. The iCalendar option doesn't work at all with the link to my calendar.
Is this even possible on version 5.1.1?

You need to read my earlier post closer. You need to download a specific version of lightning which supports WCAP (which is neither iCalendar nor CalDAV).
http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/calendar/lightning/releases/0.3/lig htning-wcap/
When you use this plugin to add an account you will see the option "Sun Java System Calendar Server (WCAP)". If you do not, then the version you have doesn't support access.

I'm also having a problem with this, but on Solaris 10. I've downloaded and installed the WCAP/Lightning extension, but do not see the Solaris Calendar option. I've got it working on Windows but not Solaris 10 SPARC.
The site referenced above only has windows, linux and mac supported / listed.
Also, does anyone know how to access multiple calendars from the same calendar server? we have our personal calendars on there and a corporate one as well. I can only get to my personal one. Any insites would be appreciated.

You could try subscribing to the other calendar within UWC and then in lightning, click on the calendars tab, right-click the calendar server name/account and then select the bottom menu item 'calendar subscriptions'. You should then see your calendar subscriptions so you can switch back/forth.
If you want both to show at the same time, what happens if you create a new calendar connection (calendar tab->new...) to the same host but log in as a different username?
