Outlook Connector and subscribing to calendars
When using Outlook, and trying to Subscribe to another users calendar I get "User not found" when I know the username is valid.
If I hit "search" then it queries my whole directory and lists it out for me. I am running into the limit of the number of ldap queries I can return.
Does anyone have any suggestions?

What version of Outlook connector are you running?
What version of calendar server?

Are you able to subscribe to ANY calendar?
If you subscribe to the calendar in the calendar express interface, does it show up in Outlook?
Have you tried including the <domain> section e.g. username@domain.com?
Has the calendar you want to subscribe to give you sufficient permissions?

Shane.

7.1.222.4

It is JES 2005Q4, so I believe it is version 6, with the latest patch for DST.

No.

No, and it does not show up if I subscribe to it within Communications Express either.

Yes.

Yes, I am even listed as owner of some of them.
Thanks for your help.

Hi Troy,
Was hoping somebody with more Outlook Connector experience would reply...
Grasping at straws you could:
1. Try a later release http://sunsolve.sun.com/pub-cgi/show.pl?target=patchpage (search for 122822-08)
2. When searching for a user, what do the access logs on your directory server say? Were there results returned? Perhaps for some reason the search string is wrong as your configuration is pointing to the wrong spot.
3. Did you configure the connector to bind as the user for addressbook searches or use anonymous searches?
4. Is your directory server configured to allow VLV searches e.g. do you see output like this
[20/Apr/2007:16:23:04 +1000] conn=43798 op=36 msgId=37 - SORT cn (514)

Shane, thanks for posting back. I downloaded the latest connector and same results. I have tried both an anonymous bind, and authenticated. Here is the access log from an attempt. It is obviously abandoning the connection, and showing an un-indexed search, but I think I have all of the correct indexes. The other interesting thing, is that even if I know the userid, when I enter it in, I get (my recollection of the error message) "User Not found, try Searching for user" I have removed my server ip address, and basedn info.
