To enable the iOS MDM device user to access the user's calendar events on the CalDAV server, add the CalDAV account. Synchronization with the CalDAV server enables the user to create and receive invitations, receive event updates, and synchronize tasks with the Reminders app.

To add the CalDAV account of the iOS MDM device user:

  1. In the console tree, in the Managed devices folder, select the administration group to which the iOS MDM devices belong.
  2. In the workspace of the group, select the Policies tab.
  3. Open the policy properties window by double-clicking.
  4. In the policy Properties window, select the Calendar section.
  5. Click the Add button in the CalDAV accounts section.

    The CalDAV account window opens.

  6. In the Description field, enter a description of the user's CalDAV account.
  7. In the Server address and port field, enter the name of a host or the IP address of a CalDAV server and the number of the CalDAV server port.
  8. In the Main URL field, specify the URL of the CalDAV account of the iOS MDM device user on the CalDAV server (for example: http://example.com/caldav/users/mycompany/user).

    The URL should begin with "http://" or "https://".

  9. In the Account name field, enter the account name for authorization on the CalDAV server.
  10. In the Password field, set the CalDAV account password for authorization on the CalDAV server.
  11. To use the SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) data transport protocol to secure the transmission of event data between the CalDAV server and the mobile device, select the Use SSL connection check box.
  12. Click OK.

    The new CalDAV account appears in the list.

  13. Click the Apply button to save the changes you have made.

As a result, once the policy is applied, CalDAV accounts from the compiled list will be added on the user's mobile device.
