Introduction - - This document specifies extensions to the CalDAV "calendar-access" - [RFC4791] feature to enable scheduling of iCalendar-based [RFC5545] - calendar components between Calendar Users. This extension leverages - the scheduling methods defined in the iCalendar Transport-independent - Interoperability Protocol (iTIP) [RFC5546] to permit Calendar Users - to perform scheduling transactions such as schedule, reschedule, - respond to scheduling request or cancel calendar components, as well - as search for busy time information. - - Discussion of this Internet-Draft is taking place on the mailing list - <https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/caldav>. - -1.1. Terminology - - This specification uses much of the same terminology as iCalendar - [RFC5545], iTIP [RFC5546], WebDAV [RFC4918], and CalDAV [RFC4791]. - The following definitions are provided to aid the reader in - understanding this specification. - - Calendar User (CU): An entity (often a human) that accesses calendar - information [RFC3283]. - - Calendar collection: A resource that acts as a container of - references to child calendar object resources [RFC4791]. - - Calendar object resource: A resource representing a calendar object - (event, to-do, journal entry, or other calendar components) - [RFC4791]. - - Scheduling object resource: A calendar object resource contained in - a calendar collection for which the server will take care of - sending scheduling messages on behalf of the owner of the calendar - collection. - - Organizer scheduling object resource: A scheduling object resource - owned by an Organizer. - - Attendee scheduling object resource: A scheduling object resource - owned by an Attendee. - - Automatic scheduling transaction: Add, change or remove operations - on a scheduling object resource for which the server will deliver - scheduling messages to other Calendar Users. - - - - - - -Daboo & Desruisseaux Expires March 10, 2012 [Page 6] - -Internet-Draft CalDAV Scheduling Extensions September 2011 - - - Scheduling message: A calendar object that describes a scheduling - transaction such as schedule, reschedule, reply, or cancel. - - Scheduling Outbox collection: A resource at which busy time - information requests are targeted. - - Scheduling Inbox collection: A collection in which incoming - scheduling messages are delivered. - -1.2. Approach - - iTIP [RFC5546] outlines a model where Calendar Users exchange - scheduling messages with one another. Often times, clients are made - responsible for generating and sending scheduling messages as well as - processing incoming scheduling messages. This approach yields a - number of problems, including: - - o For most updates to a calendar component, clients are responsible - for sending appropriate scheduling messages to the Organizer or - the Attendees. - - o The handling of incoming scheduling messages and the updates to - calendars impacted by those messages only occurs when clients are - active. - - o Due to the update latency, it is possible for calendars of - different Calendar Users to reflect different, inaccurate states. - - This specification uses an alternative approach where the server is - made responsible for sending scheduling messages and processing - incoming scheduling messages. This approach frees the clients from - the submission and processing of scheduling messages and ensures - better consistency of calendar data across users' calendars. The - operation of creating, modifying or deleting a calendar component in - a calendar is enough to trigger the server to deliver the necessary - scheduling messages to the appropriate Calendar Users. - -1.3. Limitations - - While the scheduling features described in this specification are - based on iTIP [RFC5546], some of its more advanced features have - deliberately been left out in order to keep this specification - simple. In particular, the following iTIP [RFC5546] features are not - covered: publishing, countering, delegating, refreshing and - forwarding calendar components, as well as replacing the Organizer of - a calendar component. - - The goal of this specification is to provide the essential scheduling - - - -Daboo & Desruisseaux Expires March 10, 2012 [Page 7] - -Internet-Draft CalDAV Scheduling Extensions September 2011 - - - features needed. It is expected that future extensions will be - developed to address the more advanced features. - -1.4. Notational Conventions - - The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", - "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this - document are to be interpreted as described in [RFC2119]. - - The Augmented BNF (ABNF) syntax used by this document to specify the - format definition of new iCalendar elements is defined in [RFC5234]. - - The Augmented BNF (ABNF) syntax used by this document to specify the - format definition of new message header fields to be used with the - HTTP/1.1 protocol is described in Section 2.1 of [RFC2616]. Since - this Augmented BNF uses the basic production rules provided in - Section 2.2 of [RFC2616], these rules apply to this document as well. - - The term "protected" is used in the Conformance field of WebDAV - property definitions as defined in Section 15 of [RFC4918]. - -1.5. XML Namespaces and Processing - - This document uses XML DTD fragments ([W3C.REC-xml-20081126], Section - 3.2) as a purely notational convention. WebDAV request and response - bodies cannot be validated by a DTD due to the specific extensibility - rules defined in Section 17 of [RFC4918] and due to the fact that all - XML elements defined by that specification use the XML namespace name - "DAV:". In particular: - - 1. element names use the "DAV:" namespace, - - 2. element ordering is irrelevant unless explicitly stated, - - 3. extension elements (elements not already defined as valid child - elements) may be added anywhere, except when explicitly stated - otherwise, - - 4. extension attributes (attributes not already defined as valid for - this element) may be added anywhere, except when explicitly - stated otherwise. - - The XML elements specified in this document are defined in the - "urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:caldav" XML namespace registered by CalDAV - [RFC4791]. - - When XML element types in the namespaces "DAV:" and - "urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:caldav" are referenced in this document - - - -Daboo & Desruisseaux Expires March 10, 2012 [Page 8] - -Internet-Draft CalDAV Scheduling Extensions September 2011 - - - outside of the context of an XML fragment, the strings "DAV:" and - "CALDAV:" will be prefixed to the element types, respectively. - - This document inherits, and sometimes extends, DTD productions from - Section 14 of [RFC4918]. - - Also note that some CalDAV XML element names are identical to WebDAV - XML element names, though their namespace differs. Care must be - taken not to confuse the two sets of names. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -Daboo & Desruisseaux Expires March 10, 2012 [Page 9] - -Internet-Draft CalDAV Scheduling Extensions September 2011 - - -2. Scheduling Process - - The process of scheduling an event between different parties often - involves a series of steps with different actors playing particular - roles during the whole process. Typically there is an event - "Organizer" whose role is to schedule an event between one or more - "Attendees", and this is done by sending out invitations and handling - responses from each Attendee. - - This process can typically be broken down into two phases. - - In the first phase, the Organizer will query the busy time - information of each Attendee to determine the most appropriate time - for the event. This request is sometimes called a "freebusy" lookup. - - In the second phase, the Organizer sends out invitations to each - Attendee using the time previously determined from the freebusy - lookup. There then follows exchanges between Organizer and Attendees - regarding the invitation. Some Attendees may choose to attend at the - time proposed by the Organizer, others may decline to attend. The - Organizer needs to process each of the replies from the Attendees and - take appropriate action to confirm the event, reschedule it or - perhaps cancel it. - - The user expectation as to how a calendaring and scheduling system - should respond in each of these two phases is somewhat different. In - the case of a freebusy lookup, users expect to get back results - immediately so that they can then move on to the invitation phase as - quickly as possible. In the case of invitations, it is expected that - each Attendee will reply with their participation status in their own - time, so delays in receiving replies are anticipated. Thus - calendaring and scheduling systems should treat these two operational - phases in different ways to accommodate the user expectations, which - is what this specification does. - - While the scenario described above only covers the case of scheduling - events between Calendar Users, and requesting busy time information, - this specification also provides support for the scheduling of to-dos - between Calendar Users. For the majority of the following - discussion, scheduling of events and freebusy lookups will be - discussed, as these are the more common operations. - - - - - - - - - - -Daboo & Desruisseaux Expires March 10, 2012 [Page 10] - -Internet-Draft CalDAV Scheduling Extensions September 2011 - - -3. Scheduling Support - - A server that supports the features described in this document MUST - include "calendar-auto-schedule" as a field in the DAV response - header from an OPTIONS request on any resource that supports any - scheduling actions, properties, privileges or methods. - - To advertise support for the CalDAV "calendar-auto-schedule" feature - a server is REQUIRED to support and advertise support for the CalDAV - "calendar-access" [RFC4791] feature. - -3.1. Example OPTIONS Request - - In this example, the OPTIONS response indicates that the server - supports the "calendar-access" and "calendar-auto-schedule" features - and that the resource "/home/cyrus/calendars/inbox/" supports the - scheduling actions, properties, privileges and methods defined in - this specification. - - >> Request << - - OPTIONS /home/cyrus/calendars/inbox/ HTTP/1.1 - Host: cal.example.com - - >> Response << - - HTTP/1.1 204 No Content - Date: Thu, 31 Mar 2011 09:00:00 GMT - Allow: OPTIONS, GET, HEAD, DELETE, TRACE, PROPFIND - Allow: PROPPATCH, LOCK, UNLOCK, REPORT, ACL - DAV: 1, 2, 3, access-control - DAV: calendar-access, calendar-auto-schedule - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -Daboo & Desruisseaux Expires March 10, 2012 [Page 11] - -Internet-Draft CalDAV Scheduling Extensions September 2011 - - -4. Scheduling Collections - - This specification introduces new collection resource types that are - used to manage scheduling object resources, and scheduling - privileges, as well as provide scheduling functionality. It is the - server's responsibility to create these collection resources, and - clients have no way to create or delete them. - -4.1. Scheduling Outbox Collection - - A scheduling Outbox collection is used as the target for busy time - information requests, and to manage privileges that apply to outgoing - scheduling requests. - - A scheduling Outbox collection MUST report the DAV:collection and - CALDAV:schedule-outbox XML elements in the value of the DAV: - resourcetype property. The element type declaration for CALDAV: - schedule-outbox is: - - <!ELEMENT schedule-outbox EMPTY> - - Example: - - <D:resourcetype xmlns:D="DAV:"> - <D:collection/> - <C:schedule-outbox xmlns:C="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:caldav"/> - </D:resourcetype> - - New WebDAV ACL [RFC3744] privileges can be set on the scheduling - Outbox collection to control who is allowed to send scheduling - messages on behalf of the Calendar User associated with the - scheduling Outbox collection. See Section 13.1 for more details. - - A scheduling Outbox collection MUST NOT be a child (at any depth) of - a calendar collection resource. - - The following WebDAV properties specified in CalDAV "calendar-access" - [RFC4791] MAY also be defined on scheduling Outbox collections: - - CALDAV:supported-calendar-component-set - when present this - indicates the allowed calendar component types for scheduling - messages submitted to the scheduling Outbox collection with the - POST method. - - CALDAV:supported-calendar-data - when present this indicates the - allowed media types for scheduling messages submitted to the - scheduling Outbox collection with the POST method. - - - - -Daboo & Desruisseaux Expires March 10, 2012 [Page 12] - -Internet-Draft CalDAV Scheduling Extensions September 2011 - - - CALDAV:max-resource-size - when present this indicates the maximum - size in octets of a resource that the server is willing to accept - for scheduling messages submitted to the scheduling Outbox - collection with the POST method. - - CALDAV:min-date-time - when present this indicates the earliest - date and time (in UTC) that the server is willing to accept for - any DATE or DATE-TIME value in scheduling messages submitted to - the scheduling Outbox collection with the POST method. - - CALDAV:max-date-time - when present this indicates the latest date - and time (in UTC) that the server is willing to accept for any - DATE or DATE-TIME value in scheduling messages submitted to the - scheduling Outbox collection with the POST method. - - CALDAV:max-attendees-per-instance - when present this indicates - the maximum number of ATTENDEE properties in any instance of - scheduling messages submitted to the scheduling Outbox collection - with the POST method. Specifically, this limits the total number - of Attendees whose freebusy information can be queried in a single - request. - - The use of child resources in a scheduling Outbox collection is - reserved for future revisions or extensions of this specification. - -4.2. Scheduling Inbox Collection - - A scheduling Inbox collection contains copies of incoming scheduling - messages. These may be requests sent by an Organizer, or replies - sent by an Attendee in response to a request. The scheduling Inbox - collection is also used to manage scheduling privileges. - - A scheduling Inbox collection MUST report the DAV:collection and - CALDAV:schedule-inbox XML elements in the value of the DAV: - resourcetype property. The element type declaration for CALDAV: - schedule-inbox is: - - <!ELEMENT schedule-inbox EMPTY> - - Example: - - <D:resourcetype xmlns:D="DAV:"> - <D:collection/> - <C:schedule-inbox xmlns:C="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:caldav"/> - </D:resourcetype> - - Scheduling Inbox collections MUST only contain calendar object - resources that obey the restrictions specified in iTIP [RFC5546]. - - - -Daboo & Desruisseaux Expires March 10, 2012 [Page 13] - -Internet-Draft CalDAV Scheduling Extensions September 2011 - - - Consequently, scheduling Inbox collections MUST NOT contain any types - of collection resources. Restrictions defined in Section 4.1 of - CalDAV "calendar-access" [RFC4791] on calendar object resources - contained in calendar collections (e.g., "UID" uniqueness) do not - apply to calendar object resources contained in a scheduling Inbox - collection. Thus, multiple calendar object resources contained in a - scheduling Inbox collection can have the same "UID" property value - (i.e., multiple scheduling messages for the same calendar component). - - New WebDAV ACL [RFC3744] privileges can be set on the scheduling - Inbox collection to control from whom the Calendar User associated - with the scheduling Inbox collection will accept scheduling messages - from. See Section 13.1 for more details. - - A scheduling Inbox collection MUST NOT be a child (at any depth) of a - calendar collection resource. - - The following WebDAV properties specified in CalDAV "calendar-access" - [RFC4791] MAY also be defined on scheduling Inbox collections: - - CALDAV:calendar-timezone - when present this contains a time zone - that the server can use when calendar date-time operations are - carried out, for example when a time-range CALDAV:calendar-query - REPORT is targeted at a scheduling Inbox collection. - - CALDAV:supported-calendar-component-set - when present this - indicates the allowed calendar component types for scheduling - messages delivered to the scheduling Inbox collection. - - CALDAV:supported-calendar-data - when present this indicates the - allowed media types for scheduling messages delivered to the - scheduling Inbox collection. - - CALDAV:max-resource-size - when present this indicates the maximum - size in octets of a resource that the server is willing to accept - for scheduling messages delivered to the scheduling Inbox - collection. - - CALDAV:min-date-time - when present this indicates the earliest - date and time (in UTC) that the server is willing to accept for - any DATE or DATE-TIME value in scheduling messages delivered to - the scheduling Inbox collection. - - CALDAV:max-date-time - when present this indicates the latest date - and time (in UTC) that the server is willing to accept for any - DATE or DATE-TIME value in scheduling messages delivered to the - scheduling Inbox collection. - - - - -Daboo & Desruisseaux Expires March 10, 2012 [Page 14] - -Internet-Draft CalDAV Scheduling Extensions September 2011 - - - CALDAV:max-instances - when present this indicates the maximum - number of recurrence instances in scheduling messages delivered to - the scheduling Inbox collection. - - CALDAV:max-attendees-per-instance - when present this indicates - the maximum number of ATTENDEE properties in any instance of - scheduling messages delivered to the scheduling Inbox collection. - -4.3. Calendaring Reports Extensions - - This specification extends the CALDAV:calendar-query and CALDAV: - calendar-multiget REPORTs to return results for calendar object - resources in scheduling Inbox collections. - - When a CALDAV:calendar-query REPORT includes a time-range query and - targets a scheduling Inbox collection, if any calendar object - resources contain "VEVENT" calendar components that do not include a - "DTSTART" iCalendar property (as allowed by iTIP [RFC5546]) then such - components MUST always match the time-range query test. - - Note that the CALDAV:free-busy-query REPORT is not supported on - scheduling Inbox collections. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -Daboo & Desruisseaux Expires March 10, 2012 [Page 15] - -Internet-Draft CalDAV Scheduling Extensions September 2011 - - -5. Scheduling Transactions - - When a calendar object resource is created, modified or removed from - a calendar collection, the server examines the calendar data and - checks to see whether the data represents a scheduling object - resource. If it does, the server will automatically attempt to - deliver a scheduling message to the appropriate Calendar Users. - Several types of scheduling operations can occur in this case, - equivalent to iTIP "REQUEST", "REPLY", "CANCEL", and "ADD" - operations. - -5.1. Identifying Scheduling Object Resources - - Calendar object resources on which the server performs automatic - scheduling transactions are referred to as scheduling object - resources. There are two types of scheduling object resources: - organizer scheduling object resources, and attendee scheduling object - resources. - - A calendar object resource is considered to be a valid organizer - scheduling object resource if the "ORGANIZER" iCalendar property is - present and set in all the calendar components to a value that - matches one of the calendar user addresses of the owner of the - calendar collection. - - A calendar object resource is considered to be a valid attendee - scheduling object resource if the "ORGANIZER" iCalendar property is - present and set in all the calendar components to the same value and - doesn't match one of the calendar user addresses of the owner of the - calendar collection, and at least one of the "ATTENDEE" iCalendar - property values matches one of the calendar user addresses of the - owner of the calendar collection. - - The creation of attendee scheduling object resources is typically - done by the server, with the resource being created in an appropriate - calendar collection (see Section 6.4). - -5.2. Handling Scheduling Object Resources - - The server's behavior when processing a scheduling object resource - depends on whether it is owned by the Organizer or an Attendee - specified in the calendar data. - -5.2.1. Organizer Scheduling Object Resources - - An Organizer can create, modify or remove a scheduling object - resource. The create, modify and remove behaviors for the server are - each described next, and the way these are invoked via HTTP requests - - - -Daboo & Desruisseaux Expires March 10, 2012 [Page 16] - -Internet-Draft CalDAV Scheduling Extensions September 2011 - - - is described in Section 5.2.3. - - The Organizer of a calendar component may also be an Attendee of that - calendar component. In such cases the server MUST NOT send a - scheduling message to the Attendee that matches the Organizer. - -5.2.1.1. Create - - When a scheduling object resource is created by the Organizer, the - server will inspect each "ATTENDEE" property to determine if a - scheduling message should be delivered to this Attendee according to - the value of the "SCHEDULE-AGENT" property parameter (see - Section 10.1) as described in the table below: - - +------------------+-------------+ - | SCHEDULE-AGENT | iTIP METHOD | - +==================+=============+ - | SERVER (default) | REQUEST | - +------------------+-------------+ - | CLIENT | -- | - +------------------+-------------+ - | NONE | -- | - +------------------+-------------+ - - The attempt to deliver the scheduling message will either succeed or - fail. In all cases, the server MUST add a "SCHEDULE-STATUS" - iCalendar property parameter (see Section 10.3) to the "ATTENDEE" - iCalendar property in the scheduling object resource being created, - and set its value as described in Section 9.2. This will result in - the created calendar object resource differing from the calendar data - sent in the HTTP request. As a result clients MAY reload the - calendar data from the server in order to update to the new server - generated state information. Servers MUST NOT set the "SCHEDULE- - STATUS" property parameter on the "ATTENDEE" property of Attendees - for which it did not attempt to deliver a scheduling message. - - Restrictions: - - 1. The server SHOULD reject any attempt to set the "PARTSTAT" - iCalendar property parameter value of the "ATTENDEE" iCalendar - property of other users in the calendar object resource to a - value other than "NEEDS-ACTION" if the "SCHEDULE-AGENT" property - parameter value is not present or set to the value "SERVER". - - 2. The server MAY reject attempts to create a scheduling object - resource that specifies a "UID" property value already specified - in a scheduling object resource contained in another calendar - collection of the Organizer. - - - -Daboo & Desruisseaux Expires March 10, 2012 [Page 17] - -Internet-Draft CalDAV Scheduling Extensions September 2011 - - - 3. The server MUST take into account scheduling privileges as - described in Section 13.1 when handling the creation of a - scheduling object resource. - - 4. Restrictions on calendar object resources defined in Section 4.1 - of [RFC4791] MUST also be enforced. - - The server MUST return an error with the CALDAV:allowed-organizer- - scheduling-object-change precondition code (Section 5.2.4.3) when the - Organizer attempts to change the iCalendar data in a manner that is - forbidden. - -5.2.1.2. Modify - - When a scheduling object resource is modified by the Organizer, the - server will inspect each "ATTENDEE" property in the new calendar data - to determine which ones have the "SCHEDULE-AGENT" iCalendar property - parameter. It will then need to compare this with the "ATTENDEE" - properties in the existing calendar object resource that is being - modified. - - For each Attendee in the old and new calendar data on a per-instance - basis, and taking into account the addition or removal of Attendees, - the server will determine whether to deliver a scheduling message to - the Attendee. The following table determines whether the server - needs to deliver a scheduling message, and if so which iTIP - scheduling method to use. The values "SERVER", "CLIENT", and "NONE" - in the top and left titles of the table refer to the "SCHEDULE-AGENT" - parameter value of the "ATTENDEE" property, and the values "<Absent>" - and "<Removed>" are used to cover the cases where the "ATTENDEE" - property is not present (Old) or is being removed (New). - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -Daboo & Desruisseaux Expires March 10, 2012 [Page 18] - -Internet-Draft CalDAV Scheduling Extensions September 2011 - - - +---------------+-----------------------------------------------+ - | | New | - | ATTENDEE +-----------+-----------+-----------+-----------+ - | | <Removed> | SERVER | CLIENT | NONE | - | | | (default) | | | - +===+===========+===========+===========+===========+===========+ - | | <Absent> | -- | REQUEST / | -- | -- | - | | | | ADD | | | - | +-----------+-----------+-----------+-----------+-----------+ - | | SERVER | CANCEL | REQUEST | CANCEL | CANCEL | - | O | (default) | | | | | - | l +-----------+-----------+-----------+-----------+-----------+ - | d | CLIENT | -- | REQUEST / | -- | -- | - | | | | ADD | | | - | +-----------+-----------+-----------+-----------+-----------+ - | | NONE | -- | REQUEST / | -- | -- | - | | | | ADD | | | - +---+-----------+-----------+-----------+-----------+-----------+ - - The attempt to deliver the scheduling message will either succeed or - fail.

The server MUST take into account scheduling privileges as - described in Section 13.1 when handling the deletion of a - scheduling object resource. - -5.2.2. Attendee Scheduling Object Resources - - An Attendee can create, modify or remove a scheduling object resource - by issuing HTTP requests with an appropriate method. The create, - modify and remove behaviors for the server are each described next, - and the way these are invoked via HTTP requests is described in - Section 5.2.3. - -5.2.2.1. Allowed Attendee Changes - - Attendees are allowed to make some changes to a scheduling object - resource, though key properties such as start time, end time, - location, and summary are typically under the control of the - Organizer. - - The server MUST allow Attendees to: - - 1. change their own "PARTSTAT" iCalendar property parameter value. - - 2. add, modify or remove any "TRANSP" iCalendar properties. - - - - -Daboo & Desruisseaux Expires March 10, 2012 [Page 20] - -Internet-Draft CalDAV Scheduling Extensions September 2011 - - - 3. add, modify or remove any "PERCENT-COMPLETE" iCalendar - properties. - - 4. add, modify or remove any "COMPLETED" iCalendar properties. - - 5. add, modify or remove any "VALARM" iCalendar components. - - 6. add, modify or remove the "CALSCALE" iCalendar property within - the top-level "VCALENDAR" component. - - 7. modify the "PRODID" iCalendar property within the top-level - "VCALENDAR" component. - - 8. add "EXDATE" iCalendar properties and possibly remove components - for overridden recurrence instances. - - 9. add, modify or remove any "CREATED", "DTSTAMP" and "LAST- - MODIFIED" iCalendar properties. - - 10. add, modify or remove "SCHEDULE-STATUS" iCalendar property - parameters on "ATTENDEE" properties that have a "SCHEDULE-AGENT" - parameter set to "CLIENT". - - 11. add new components to represent overridden recurrence instances, - provided the only changes to the recurrence instance follow the - rules above. - - The server MUST return an error with the CALDAV:allowed-attendee- - scheduling-object-change precondition code (Section 5.2.4.4) when the - Attendee attempts to change the iCalendar data in a manner forbidden - by the server. - -5.2.2.2. Create - - Typically an Attendee does not create scheduling object resources, as - scheduling messages delivered to them on the server are automatically - processed by the server and placed on one of their calendars (see - Section 6). However, in some cases a scheduling message may get - delivered directly to the client, and the Attendee may wish to store - that on the server. In that case the client creates a scheduling - object resource in a suitable calendar belonging to the Attendee. It - can then set the "SCHEDULE-AGENT" iCalendar property parameter on all - "ORGANIZER" iCalendar properties in the resource to determine how the - server treats the resource. The value of the "SCHEDULE-AGENT" - iCalendar property parameter on all "ORGANIZER" iCalendar properties - MUST be the same. - - - - - -Daboo & Desruisseaux Expires March 10, 2012 [Page 21] - -Internet-Draft CalDAV Scheduling Extensions September 2011 - - - +----------------+--------------------------------------------------+ - | SCHEDULE-AGENT | Action | - +----------------+--------------------------------------------------+ - | SERVER | The server will attempt to process changes to | - | (default) | the resource using the normal rules for attendee | - | | scheduling object resources. | - | | | - | CLIENT | The server does no special processing of the | - | | resource.

If the - client does not update the "SEQUENCE" iCalendar property itself when - that is required, the server MUST update the property. - -5.2.6. Restrict Recurrence Instances Sent to Attendees - - When delivering scheduling messages for recurring calendar components - to Attendees, servers MUST ensure that Attendees only get information - about recurrence instances that explicitly include them as an - Attendee. - - For example, if an Attendee is invited to a single recurrence - instance of a recurring event, and no others, the scheduling object - resource contained in the Organizer's calendar collection will - contain an overridden instance in the form of a separate calendar - - - -Daboo & Desruisseaux Expires March 10, 2012 [Page 28] - -Internet-Draft CalDAV Scheduling Extensions September 2011 - - - component. That separate calendar component will include the - "ATTENDEE" property referencing the "one-off" Attendee. That - Attendee will not be listed in any other calendar components in the - scheduling object resource. Any scheduling messages delivered to the - Attendee will only contain information about this overridden - instance. - - As another example, an Attendee could be excluded from one instance - of a recurring event. In that case the scheduling object resource - contained in the calendar collection of the Organizer will include an - overridden instance with an "ATTENDEE" list that does not include the - Attendee being excluded.

Processing Incoming Scheduling Messages - - Scheduling operations can cause the delivery of a scheduling message - into an Organizer's or Attendee's scheduling Inbox collection. In - the former case the scheduling messages are replies from Attendees, - in the latter case the scheduling messages are requests, - cancellations or additions from the Organizer. - - Servers MUST automatically process incoming scheduling messages using - the rules defined by [RFC5546], by creating or updating the - corresponding scheduling object resources on calendars owned by the - owner of the scheduling Inbox collection. In addition, the - scheduling message is stored in the scheduling Inbox collection as an - indicator to the client that a scheduling operation has taken place. - - The server MUST take into account privileges on the scheduling Inbox - collection when processing incoming scheduling messages, to determine - whether delivery of the scheduling message is allowed. Privileges on - calendars containing any matching scheduling object resource are not - considered in this case (i.e., a schedule message from another user - can cause modifications to resources in calendar collections that the - other user would not normally have read or write access to). - Additionally, servers MUST take into account any scheduling Inbox - collection preconditions (see Section 4.2) when delivering the - scheduling message, and it MUST take into account the similar - preconditions on any calendar collection which contains, or would - contain, the corresponding scheduling object resource. - -6.1. Processing Organizer Requests, Additions, and Cancellations - - For a scheduling message sent by an Organizer, the server first tries - to locate a corresponding scheduling object resource belonging to the - Attendee. If no matching scheduling object resource exists, the - server treats the scheduling message as a new message, otherwise it - is treated as an update. - - In the case of a new message, the server MUST process the scheduling - message and create a new scheduling object resource in an appropriate - calendar collection for the Attendee. - - In the case of an update, the server MUST process the scheduling - message and update the matching scheduling object resource belonging - to the Attendee to reflect the changes sent by the Organizer. - - In each case, the scheduling message MUST only appear in the - Attendee's scheduling Inbox collection once all automatic processing - has been done. - - - - -Daboo & Desruisseaux Expires March 10, 2012 [Page 30] - -Internet-Draft CalDAV Scheduling Extensions September 2011 - - -6.2. Processing Attendee Replies - - For a scheduling message reply sent by an Attendee, the server first - locates the corresponding scheduling object resource belonging to the - Organizer. - - The server MUST then update the "PARTSTAT" iCalendar property - parameter value of each "ATTENDEE" iCalendar property in the - scheduling object resource to match the changes indicated in the - reply (taking into account the fact that an Attendee could have - created a new overridden iCalendar component to indicate different - participation status on one or more recurrence instances of a - recurring event). - - The server MUST also update or add the "SCHEDULE-STATUS" property - parameter on each matching "ATTENDEE" iCalendar property and set its - value to that of the "REQUEST-STATUS" property in the reply, or to - "2.0" if "REQUEST-STATUS" is not present (also taking into account - recurrence instances). If there are multiple "REQUEST-STATUS" - properties in the reply, the "SCHEDULE-STATUS" property parameter - value is set to a comma-separated list of status codes, one from each - "REQUEST-STATUS" property. - - The server SHOULD send scheduling messages to all the other Attendees - indicating the change in participation status of the Attendee - replying, subject to the recurrence requirements of Section 5.2.6. - - The scheduling message MUST only appear in the Organizer's scheduling - Inbox collection once all automatic processing has been done. - -6.3. Scheduling Messages as Notifications - - Once the processing of an incoming scheduling message is completed by - the server, the message is made available as a child resource in the - scheduling Inbox collection of the Calendar User that received the - message, to serve as a notification that a change has been made to - the corresponding scheduling object resource. Scheduling messages - are typically removed from the scheduling Inbox collection by the - client once the calendar user has acknowledged the change. - -6.4. Default Calendar Collection - - The server is REQUIRED to process scheduling messages received for an - Attendee by creating a new scheduling object resource in a calendar - collection belonging to the Attendee, when one does not already - exist. A Calendar User that is an Attendee in a scheduling operation - MUST have at least one valid calendar collection available. If there - is no valid calendar collection, then the server MUST reject the - - - -Daboo & Desruisseaux Expires March 10, 2012 [Page 31] - -Internet-Draft CalDAV Scheduling Extensions September 2011 - - - attempt to deliver the scheduling message to the Attendee. - - Servers MAY provide support for a default calendar collection, that - is, the calendar collection in which new scheduling object resources - will be created.

Avoiding Conflicts when Updating Scheduling Object Resources - - Because replies from Attendees and updates from Organizers are - automatically processed by the server, clients might be in a - situation where their copy of a calendar resource is different from - the one currently on the server. When an Attendee or Organizer makes - a change to the client's copy of the calendar resource, if the client - writes the data to the server it could overwrite the changes already - made there. Typically, clients use the ETag value and If-Match - request headers to avoid the "lost update problem". - - Clients can also use ETag and If-Match to avoid this problem. - However, when doing so the client will likely have to resolve the - differences between the new resource and the original one, and the - changes made by the Attendee or Organizer in the client. This can be - a complicated comparison particularly when recurring components are - present. - - Additionally, the data on the server may change frequently as - Attendees change their participation status, triggering updates to - the Organizer, and consequently other Attendees' copies of the - scheduling object resource. If the ETag/If-Match behavior were used, - clients would be forced to reconcile their cached copy of a - scheduling object resource with the updated one on the server in - order to attempt to write the user's changes back. This could lead - to a race condition that can effectively result in a temporary denial - of service when, for example, there is an event with a large Attendee - list. A "storm" of updates will occur if Attendees all start - responding at the same time, and this would prevent Attendees and the - Organizer from being able to update their own copies of the - scheduling object resource as the server copy is changing frequently. - - A solution is to have the server determine the best way to merge - changes made on the server with changes being made by the client. - For example, if an Attendee changes their participation status and - triggers an update to the Organizer's copy of the event, but the - Organizer also updates their cached copy of the event and attempts to - write it back, rather than failing on a conditional If-Match when the - Organizer writes their data, the server would instead take the - changes made by the Organizer and apply the Attendee changes and - store the result. Thus a form of "weak" ETag matching behavior is - needed such that scheduling changes made automatically on the server - do not invalidate the tag, so that when clients store data - conditionally based on the tag value, the server knows it can apply - the merge behavior. - - In order to do that, this specification introduces a new WebDAV - resource property CALDAV:schedule-tag with a corresponding response - - - -Daboo & Desruisseaux Expires March 10, 2012 [Page 40] - -Internet-Draft CalDAV Scheduling Extensions September 2011 - - - header "Schedule-Tag", and a new "If-Schedule-Tag-Match" request - header to allow client changes to be appropriately merged with server - changes in the case where the changes on the server were the result - of an "inconsequential" scheduling message update. An - "inconsequential" scheduling message is one which simply updates the - status information of Attendees due to a reply from an Attendee. - - Servers MUST support requests targeted at scheduling object resources - using the "If-Schedule-Tag-Match" request header. Consequently, the - server MUST support the "Schedule-Tag" response header and CALDAV: - schedule-tag property for scheduling object resources. Servers MUST - automatically resolve conflicts with "inconsequential" changes done - to scheduling object resources when the "If-Schedule-Tag-Match" - request header is specified. - - The If-Schedule-Tag-Match request header applies only to the Request- - URI, and not to the Destination of a COPY or MOVE in the same way as - the If-Match request header. - - Clients SHOULD use the If-Schedule-Tag-Match header on requests that - update scheduling object resources. - - A response to any successful GET or PUT request targeting a - scheduling object resource MUST include a Schedule-Tag response - header with the value set to the same value as the CALDAV:schedule- - tag WebDAV property of the resource. - - A response to any successful COPY or MOVE request that specifies a - Destination request header targeting a scheduling object resource - MUST include a Schedule-Tag response header with the value set to the - same value as the CALDAV:schedule-tag WebDAV property of the resource - identified in the Request-URI. - - The Schedule-Tag feature is designed to be used to address the - problem of "inconsequential" changes on the server only. Normal ETag - operations are used in all other cases, e.g., for synchronization. - - The value of the CALDAV:schedule-tag property changes according to - these rules: - - o For an Organizer's copy of a scheduling object resource: - - 1. The server MUST NOT change the CALDAV:schedule-tag property - value when the scheduling object resource is updated as the - result of automatically processing a scheduling message reply - from an Attendee. For instance, when an Attendee replies to - the Organizer, the CALDAV:schedule-tag property is unchanged - after the Organizer's scheduling object resource has been - - - -Daboo & Desruisseaux Expires March 10, 2012 [Page 41] - -Internet-Draft CalDAV Scheduling Extensions September 2011 - - - automatically updated by the server with the Attendee's new - participation status. - - 2. The server MUST change CALDAV:schedule-tag property value when - the scheduling object resource is changed directly via an HTTP - request (e.g., PUT, COPY or MOVE). - - o For an Attendee's copy of a scheduling object resource: - - 1. The server MUST change the CALDAV:schedule-tag property value - when the scheduling object resource is changed as the result - of processing a scheduling message update from an Organizer - that contains changes other than just the participation status - of Attendees. - - 2. The server MUST NOT change the CALDAV:schedule-tag property - value when the scheduling object resource is changed as the - result of processing a scheduling message update from an - Organizer that only specify changes in the participation - status of Attendees. For instance, when Attendee "A" replies - to Organizer "O", and Attendee "B" receives a scheduling - message update from Organizer "O" with the new participation - status of Attendee "A", the CALDAV:schedule-tag property of - Attendee "B"s scheduling object resource MUST NOT be changed. - - 3. The server MUST change the CALDAV:schedule-tag property value - when the scheduling object resource is changed directly via an - HTTP request (e.g., PUT, COPY or MOVE). - -8.1. PUT - - Clients can use the If-Schedule-Tag-Match request header to do a PUT - request that ensures that "inconsequential" changes on the server do - not result in a precondition error. The value of the request header - is set to the last Schedule-Tag value received for the resource being - modified. If the value of the If-Schedule-Tag-Match header matches - the current value of the CALDAV:schedule-tag property the server MUST - take any "ATTENDEE" property changes for all Attendees other than the - owner of the scheduling object resource and apply those to the new - resource being stored. Otherwise, the server MUST fail the request - with a 412 Precondition Failed status code. - -8.2. DELETE, COPY or MOVE - - Clients can use the If-Schedule-Tag-Match request header to do a - DELETE, COPY or MOVE request that ensures that "inconsequential" - changes on the server do not result in a precondition error. The - value of the request header is set to the last Schedule-Tag value - - - -Daboo & Desruisseaux Expires March 10, 2012 [Page 42] - -Internet-Draft CalDAV Scheduling Extensions September 2011 - - - received for the resource being deleted. If the value of the If- - Schedule-Tag-Match header matches the current value of the CALDAV: - schedule-tag property the server performs the normal DELETE, COPY or - MOVE request processing for the resource.

Schedule Status Values - - When scheduling with an Attendee there are two types of status - information that can be returned during the transaction. The first - type of status information is a "delivery" status that indicates - whether the scheduling message from the Organizer to the Attendee was - delivered or not, or what the current status of delivery is. The - second type of status information is a "reply" status corresponding - to the Attendee's own "REQUEST-STATUS" information from the - scheduling message reply that is sent back to the Organizer. - - Similarly, when an Attendee sends a reply back to the Organizer, - there will be "delivery" status information for the scheduling - message sent to the Organizer.

Additional iCalendar Property Parameters - - This specification defines additional iCalendar property parameters - to support the CalDAV scheduling extensions. - -10.1. Schedule Agent Parameter - - Parameter Name: SCHEDULE-AGENT - - Purpose: To specify the agent expected to deliver scheduling - messages to the corresponding Organizer or Attendee. - - Format Definition: This property parameter is defined by the - following notation: - - scheduleagentparam = "SCHEDULE-AGENT" "=" - ("SERVER" ; The server handles scheduling - / "CLIENT" ; The client handles scheduling - / "NONE" ; No scheduling - / x-name ; Experimental type - / iana-token) ; Other IANA registered type - ; - ; Default is SERVER - - Description: This property parameter MAY be specified on "ORGANIZER" - or "ATTENDEE" iCalendar properties. In the absence of this - parameter, the value "SERVER" MUST be used for the default - behavior. The value determines whether or not an automatic - scheduling transaction on a server will cause a scheduling message - to be sent to the corresponding Calendar User identified by the - "ORGANIZER" or "ATTENDEE" property value. When the value "SERVER" - is specified, or the parameter is absent, then it is the server's - responsibility to send a scheduling message as part of an - automatic scheduling transaction. When the value "CLIENT" is - specified, that indicates that the client is handling scheduling - messages with the Calendar User itself. When "NONE" is specified, - no scheduling messages are being sent to the Calendar User. - - Servers MUST NOT include this parameter in any scheduling messages - sent as the result of an automatic scheduling transaction. - - Clients MUST NOT include this parameter in any scheduling messages - that they themselves send. - - The parameter value MUST be the same on every "ORGANIZER" property - in a scheduling object resource. - - - - - -Daboo & Desruisseaux Expires March 10, 2012 [Page 49] - -Internet-Draft CalDAV Scheduling Extensions September 2011 - - - The parameter value MUST be the same on each "ATTENDEE" property - whose values match in a scheduling object resource. - - Servers and clients MUST treat x-name and iana-token values they - do not recognize the same way as they would the "NONE" value. - - Example: - - ORGANIZER;SCHEDULE-AGENT=SERVER:mailto:bernard@example.com - - ATTENDEE;SCHEDULE-AGENT=NONE:mailto:cyrus@example.com - -10.2. Schedule Force Send Parameter - - Parameter Name: SCHEDULE-FORCE-SEND - - Purpose: To force a scheduling message to be sent to the Calendar - User specified by the property. - - Format Definition: This property parameter is defined by the - following notation: - - scheduleforcesendparam = "SCHEDULE-FORCE-SEND" "=" - ("REQUEST" ; Force a "REQUEST" - / "REPLY" ; Force a "REPLY" - / iana-token) ; IANA registered method - - Description: This property parameter MAY be specified on "ATTENDEE" - and "ORGANIZER" properties on which the "SCHEDULE-AGENT" property - parameter is set to the value "SERVER" or is not specified. This - property parameter is used to force a server to send a scheduling - message to a specific Calendar User in situations where the server - would not send a scheduling message otherwise (e.g., when no - change that warrants the delivery of a new scheduling message was - performed on the scheduling object resource). An Organizer MAY - specify this parameter on an "ATTENDEE" property with the value - "REQUEST" to force a "REQUEST" scheduling message to be sent to - this Attendee. An Attendee MAY specify this parameter on the - "ORGANIZER" with the value "REPLY" to force a "REPLY" scheduling - message to be sent to the Organizer. - - Servers MUST NOT preserve this property parameter in scheduling - object resources, nor include it in any scheduling messages sent - as the result of an automatic scheduling transaction. - - - - - - - -Daboo & Desruisseaux Expires March 10, 2012 [Page 50] - -Internet-Draft CalDAV Scheduling Extensions September 2011 - - - Clients MUST NOT include this parameter in any scheduling messages - that they themselves send. - - Servers MUST set the "SCHEDULE-STATUS" parameter of the "ATTENDEE" - or "ORGANIZER" to 2.3 (i.e., "Success, invalid property parameter - ignored", see Section 3.6 of [RFC5546]) when the "SCHEDULE-FORCE- - SEND" parameter is set to a x-name or iana-token value they do not - recognize. - - Example: - - ATTENDEE;SCHEDULE-FORCE-SEND=REQUEST:mailto:bernard@example.com - - ORGANIZER;SCHEDULE-FORCE-SEND=REPLY:mailto:cyrus@example.com - -10.3.

Additional Message Header Fields - - This specification defines additional HTTP request and response - headers for use with CalDAV. - -11.1. Schedule-Reply Request Header - - - Schedule-Reply = "Schedule-Reply" ":" ("T" | "F") - - Example: - - Schedule-Reply: F - - When an Attendee removes a scheduling object resource, and the - Schedule-Reply header is not present, or present and set to the value - "T", the server MUST send an appropriate reply scheduling message - with the Attendee's "PARTSTAT" iCalendar property parameter value set - to "DECLINED" as part of its normal automatic scheduling transaction - processing. - - When the Schedule-Reply header is set to the value "F", the server - MUST NOT send a scheduling message as part of its normal automatic - scheduling transaction processing. - - The Schedule-Reply request header is used by a client to indicate to - a server whether or not an automatic scheduling transaction should - occur when an Attendee deletes a scheduling object resource. In - particular it controls whether a reply scheduling message is sent to - the Organizer as a result of the removal. There are situations in - which unsolicited scheduling messages need to be silently removed (or - ignored) for security or privacy reasons. This request header allows - the scheduling object resource to be removed if such a need arises. - - All scheduling object resources MUST support the Schedule-Reply - request header. - -11.2. Schedule-Tag Response Header - - The Schedule-Tag response header provides the current value of the - CALDAV:schedule-tag property value. The behavior of this response - header is described in Section 8. - - All scheduling object resources MUST support the Schedule-Tag header. - - Schedule-Tag = "Schedule-Tag" ":" opaque-tag - ; "opaque-tag" is defined in Section 3.11 of [RFC2616] - - - - -Daboo & Desruisseaux Expires March 10, 2012 [Page 53] - -Internet-Draft CalDAV Scheduling Extensions September 2011 - - - Example: - - Schedule-Tag: "12ab34-cd56ef" - -11.3. If-Schedule-Tag-Match Request Header - - The If-Schedule-Tag-Match request header field is used with a method - to make it conditional. Clients can set this header to the value - returned in the Schedule-Tag response header, or the CALDAV:schedule- - tag property, of a scheduling object resource previously retrieved - from the server to avoid overwriting "consequential" changes to the - scheduling object resource. - - All scheduling object resources MUST support the If-Schedule-Tag- - Match header. - - If-Schedule-Tag-Match = "If-Schedule-Tag-Match" ":" opaque-tag - ; "opaque-tag" is defined in Section 3.11 of [RFC2616] - - Example: - - If-Schedule-Tag-Match: "12ab34-cd56ef" - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -Daboo & Desruisseaux Expires March 10, 2012 [Page 54] - -Internet-Draft CalDAV Scheduling Extensions September 2011 - - -12.

If present, it contains one of two XML elements that - indicate whether the calendar object resources in the calendar - collection should contribute to the owner's freebusy or not. When - the CALDAV:opaque element is used, all calendar object resources - in the corresponding calendar collection MUST contribute to - freebusy, assuming access privileges and other iCalendar - properties allow it to. When the CALDAV:transparent XML element - is used, the calendar object resources in the corresponding - calendar collection MUST NOT contribute to freebusy. - - If this property is not present on a calendar collection, then the - default value CALDAV:opaque MUST be assumed. - - Definition: - - <!ELEMENT schedule-calendar-transp (opaque | transparent) > - - <!ELEMENT opaque EMPTY> - <!-- Affect busy time searches --> - - <!ELEMENT transparent EMPTY> - <!-- Invisible to busy time searches --> - - - - - - - -Daboo & Desruisseaux Expires March 10, 2012 [Page 55] - -Internet-Draft CalDAV Scheduling Extensions September 2011 - - - Example: - - <C:schedule-calendar-transp - xmlns:C="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:caldav"> - <C:opaque/> - </C:schedule-calendar-transp> - -12.2. CALDAV:schedule-default-calendar-URL Property - - Name: schedule-default-calendar-URL - - Namespace: urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:caldav - - Purpose: Specifies a default calendar for an Attendee where new - scheduling object resources are created. - - Protected: This property MAY be protected in the case where a server - does not support changing the default calendar, or does not - support a default calendar. - - COPY/MOVE behavior: This property is only defined on a scheduling - Inbox collection which cannot be moved or copied. - - Description: This property MAY be defined on a scheduling Inbox - collection. If present, it contains zero or one DAV:href XML - elements. When a DAV:href element is present, its value indicates - a URL to a calendar collection that is used as the default - calendar. When no DAV:href element is present, it indicates that - there is no default calendar. In the absence of this property - there is no default calendar. When there is no default calendar - the server is free to choose the calendar in which a new - scheduling object resource is created. See Section 6.4. - - Definition: - - <!ELEMENT schedule-default-calendar-URL (DAV:href?) > - - Example: - - <C:schedule-default-calendar-URL xmlns:D="DAV:" - xmlns:C="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:caldav"> - <D:href>/home/cyrus/calendars/work/</D:href> - </C:schedule-default-calendar-URL> - - - - - - - - -Daboo & Desruisseaux Expires March 10, 2012 [Page 56] - -Internet-Draft CalDAV Scheduling Extensions September 2011 - - -12.3.

Privileges on Scheduling Inbox Collections - - This section defines new WebDAV ACL privileges that are for use on - scheduling Inbox collections. These privileges determine whether - delivery of scheduling messages from a calendar user is allowed by - the calendar user who "owns" the scheduling Inbox collection. This - allows calendar users to choose which other calendar users can - schedule with them. - - Note that when a scheduling message is delivered to a calendar user, - in addition to a scheduling object resource being created in the - calendar user's scheduling Inbox collection, a new scheduling object - resource might be created or an existing one updated in a calendar - belonging to the calendar user. In that case, the ability to create - or update the scheduling object resource in the calendar is - controlled by the privileges assigned to the scheduling Inbox - collection. - - The privileges defined in this section are ignored if applied to a - resource other than a scheduling Inbox collection. - -13.1.1.1.

Privileges on Scheduling Outbox Collections - - This section defines new WebDAV ACL privileges that are defined for - use on scheduling Outbox collections. These privileges determine - which calendar users are allowed to send scheduling messages on - behalf of the calendar user who "owns" the scheduling Outbox - collection. This allows calendar users to choose other calendar - users who can act on their behalf to send schedule messages to other - calendar users (e.g. assistants working on behalf of their boss). - - The privileges defined in this section are ignored if applied to a - resource other than a scheduling Outbox collection. - -13.1.2.1.

Security Considerations - - The process of scheduling involves the sending and receiving of - scheduling messages. As a result, the security problems related to - messaging in general are relevant here. In particular the - authenticity of the scheduling messages needs to be verified. - Servers and clients MUST use an HTTP connection protected with TLS as - defined in [RFC2818] for all scheduling transactions. - -15.1. Verifying Scheduling Transactions - - When handling a scheduling transaction: - - Servers MUST verify that the principal associated with the DAV: - owner of the calendar collection in which a scheduling object - resource is being manipulated contains a CALDAV:schedule-outbox- - URL property value. - - Servers MUST verify that the currently authenticated user has the - CALDAV:schedule-send privilege, or a suitable sub-privilege - aggregated under this privilege, on the scheduling Outbox - collection of the DAV:owner of the calendar collection in which a - scheduling object resource is being manipulated. - - Servers MUST only deliver scheduling messages to recipients when - the CALDAV:schedule-deliver privilege, or a suitable sub-privilege - aggregated under this privilege, is granted on the recipient's - scheduling Inbox collection for the principal associated with the - DAV:owner of the calendar collection in which a scheduling object - resource is being manipulated. - - To prevent impersonation of calendar users, the server MUST verify - that the "ORGANIZER" property in an organizer scheduling object - resource matches one of the calendar user addresses of the DAV: - owner of the calendar collection in which the resource is stored. - - To prevent spoofing of an existing scheduling object resource, - servers MUST verify that the "UID" iCalendar property value in a - new scheduling object resource does not match that of an existing - scheduling object resource with a different "ORGANIZER" property - value. - -15.2. Verifying Busy Time Information Requests - - When handling a POST request on a scheduling Outbox collection: - - - - - - -Daboo & Desruisseaux Expires March 10, 2012 [Page 67] - -Internet-Draft CalDAV Scheduling Extensions September 2011 - - - Servers MUST verify that the principal associated with the - calendar user address specified in the "ORGANIZER" property of the - scheduling message data in the request contains a CALDAV:schedule- - outbox-URL property value that matches the scheduling Outbox - collection targeted by the request. - - Servers MUST verify that the currently authenticated user has the - CALDAV:schedule-send privilege, or a sub-privilege aggregated - under this privilege, on the scheduling Outbox collection targeted - by the request. - - Servers MUST only return valid freebusy information for recipients - when the CALDAV:schedule-deliver privilege, or a sub-privilege - aggregated under this privilege, is granted on the recipient's - scheduling Inbox collection for the principal associated with the - DAV:owner of the scheduling Outbox collection targeted by the - request. - -15.3. Privacy Issues - - As noted in Section 11.1, Attendees can use the Schedule-Reply - request header with the value set to "F" to prevent notification to - an Organizer that a scheduling object resource was deleted. This - allows Attendees to remove unwanted scheduling messages without any - response to the Organizer. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -Daboo & Desruisseaux Expires March 10, 2012 [Page 68] - -Internet-Draft CalDAV Scheduling Extensions September 2011 - - -16.

Changes in -05 - - This draft has changed substantially since the -04 version. The - primary reason for this change was implementation experience from a - number of vendors who implemented products based on the earlier - drafts. Experience showed that the client/server interaction was not - reliable in keeping scheduling messages synchronized between - organizer and attendees. In addition the latency in updates due to - clients being offline proved unacceptable to users. These issues led - to the redesign of this specification to support a server-based - processing model that eliminates all the problems seen previously. - Whilst this adds significant complexity to the server in that it - needs to be a full blown iTIP processing agent, it does remove a lot - of the same complexity from clients, opening up the possibility of - supporting complex scheduling behaviors even with "thin" clients. - - In the judgement of the authors, we consider this new specification - to be a substantial improvement over the old one and believe it - represents a stronger protocol that will lead to better - interoperability. - - - - - - - - - - - - -Daboo & Desruisseaux Expires March 10, 2012 [Page 98] - -Internet-Draft CalDAV Scheduling Extensions September 2011 - - -Authors' Addresses - - Cyrus Daboo - Apple Inc. - 1 Infinite Loop - Cupertino, CA 95014 - USA - - EMail: cyrus@daboo.name - URI: http://www.apple.com/ - - - Bernard Desruisseaux - Oracle Corporation - 600 Blvd. de Maisonneuve West - Suite 1900 - Montreal, QC H3A 3J2 - CANADA - - EMail: bernard.desruisseaux@oracle.com - URI: http://www.oracle.com/ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -Daboo & Desruisseaux Expires March 10, 2012 [Page 99] - |
