Guidelines for Creating a Resource

A resource consists of two data descriptions: a directory entry and a calendar in the Calendar Server database. The directory has an attribute, icsCalendar, whose value is the name of the calendar associated with the resource.

You can create a resource with the two data descriptions, using either of the following methods:

Use the Create New Calendar Resource wizard (as described above) and use the csresource utility to create a calendar.

NOTE: When you invoke the create command in csresource, the value you enter for the name of the resource must be the same as the value used for the Resource ID item in the Resource Information panel of the Create New Calendar Resource wizard.

Use the csresource utility by itself. The csresource utility creates a directory entry and a calendar. However, using csresource to create both the directory entry and the calendar is only recommended if the directory is in a Schema 1environment and you are not using Access Manager.

You can then log in as any user and invite the resource to an event.

See the “Calendar Server Command-Line Utilities” in the Sun Java System Calendar Server Administration Guide for detailed descriptions of the csresource utility.
