      Ken,

        
        Thanks a lot! After creating the shared
        folder under the root hierarchy (with imtest
          -a admin and the command you provided), setting the
        corresponding ACLs for the users that have to have access to the
        folder (with cyradm sam) and
        creating a new connection in each WebDAV client for https://domain.com/dav/drive/shared/,
        everything worked fine!

        
        I'll try to test the same with CalDAV / CardDAV and report it
        here.

        
        Regards,

        Anatoli

        Hi Ken,

          
          Thanks for your quick reply. Yes, I'm willing to test it and
          if needed I can also apply patches (I build Cyrus from
          sources).

          What does this command is supposed to do and under what user
          should I execute it (I mean imtest
            -a <user>)? I tried to run it under admin user
          (it creates a "shared" folder at the root hierarchy) and under
          a normal user that already has a shared folder (in this case
          the folder is created under the user hierarchy), but in both
          cases the folder stays empty (with only cyrus.header and
          cyrus.index inside) and is not visible under a WebDAV client.
          Am I missing something?

        
    Definitely do this as an admin (e.g. 'cyrus') that DOES NOT have
    their own user hierarchy.

    
    Its been so long since I wrote and played with the WebDAV module
    that I forgot how it works.  Try:

    
    x CREATE #drive/shared (TYPE COLLECTION)

    
    Use whatever you have set for the davdriveprefix option and the
    proper hierarchy ('.' if you have disabled unixhierarchysep)

    
          Regards,

          Anatoli

      xDAV hasn't had much development or testing in the shared
        namespace and there isn't any tooling to create such mailboxes.
      If you wanted to do some testing, you'd have to create the
        mailboxes by hand and set the mailbox type accordingly.  To do
        so, you can connect to the server as an admin using imtest and
        enter the following command:
      x CREATE shared (TYPE COLLECTION)
      to create a WebDAV collection.  Or set the TYPE to CALENDAR or
        ADDRESSBOOK

        Hi All,

          
          I'm experimenting with xDav (CalDAV, CardDAV and WebDAV) in
          Cyrus 3.0.5. All xDAV services in user namespaces work as
          expected, but I can't figure out how to setup them for shared
          namespaces.

          
          The most important service for me to setup for shared
          namespaces is WebDAV. I'd like to have a shared folder
          accessible to multiple users based on their ACLs. I know how
          to setup a shared folder for IMAP:

          
          cyradm> cm shared1@xxxxxxxxxx

            cyradm> sam shared1@xxxxxxxxxx
            user1@xxxxxxxxxx
            write

          
          In the mail client I see the shared1 folder under "shared
          folders". But I can't see it in a WebDAV client. At the server
          the shared1 folder doesn't have the autocreated xDAV structure
          as it normally autocreates for individual users, and I don't
          know how to create it manually.

          
          Does anybody know how to configure WebDAV shared folders? I'm
          also interested in creating shared calendars (CalDAV) and
          addressbooks (CardDAV), but I suppose they are managed the
          same way as WebDAV.

          
          Thanks in advance,

          Anatoli
