Configuring CalDAV Calendar on iOS devices

To enable a user to work with events from a corporate calendar, you should add their user account on the CalDAV server and also add subscriptions to third-party calendars. Synchronization with the CalDAV server enables the user to create and receive invitations, receive event updates, and synchronize tasks with the Reminders app. For more details on working with the CalDAV calendar service and calendar subscriptions, please refer to the Apple Technical Support website.
