CalDAV
CalDAV is an open standard calendar access protocol that allows access to calendars that are in the popular
iCalendar format over the WebDAV extensions to the HTTP protocol. CalDAV allows users to publish calendars,
events, and tasks and collaborate on them. CalDAV servers only appear in calendar views and cannot be used to
store contacts. Chronos does not provide a CalDAV server nor does it support the set up or maintenance of one.
iTriumph is simply a client of a CalDAV server.
To connect to a CalDAV server:
The administrator of the CalDAV server should provide you with the following information, so you can connect
to the CalDAV server:
✦

This is the address or URL to the CalDAV server.
✦
User Name and Password.
This is your login information to the CalDAV server.
Once you have this information you’re ready to connect to a CalDAV server.
1) Choose iTriumph > Preferences > Accounts. The Accounts preference pane shows you all of the accounts
that the software will automatically open when launched.
2) Click Add (+). A new account sheet will appear.
3) Choose CalDAV as the Account Type.
4) Enter a description for the CalDAV server. This can be anything you want.
5) Enter the address of the CalDAV server.
6) Enter your user name and password information.
7) Click OK. The CalDAV account will appear in your list of accounts and the software will connect to the
CalDAV server. The CalDAV server will appear in the Calendars sidebar like any other database.
