Some issues found were UID problems and then in timezone problems.
The only other interesting problem was distinguishing between removing a person and canceling. From my point of view we did not end up doing a lot of testing. I am including a table of what we support and what we tested. The table is not completed except for EVENTS
Other Issues encountered while doing iCAL testing at CalConnect2.
Sent to a Bcc user via Location Doc: “Through xxxx Server/MIME format”; Person Doc: “Prefers MIME”. The Bcc user receives an invitation with all of the Typical Workflow actions. Error: S/he should only have the “Add to Calendar” action.
Reschedule notices are not displaying invitee response actions.
Invitations from a French Vendor 3 client are received with no subject or date/time fields.
Cancellation notices being received as Updates from vendor 1. Upon opening notice, you get the correct pop-up indicating that the meeting has been cancelled and the entry is removed from the Calendar. However, the “Update Calendar” button is not hidden, and if you click on it it will recreate the entry.
Cancellation of a repeating meeting from Vendor 3 doesn’t remove entries from Calendar.
Custom repeats from Vendor 3 (
RDATEs) only display the first date in the “Repeat Options” dialog in invitee’s Calendar entry.
