+ How to use iCal (Mac) for read/write access to Kronolith

KronolithSunbird describes how to use Mozilla Sunbird for read/write access
to Kronolith 2.2 calendars via !WebDAV. You can also use Apple iCal (tested
with 3.0.2) for this, once you figured out how to set this up. Below is a
step-by-step description.

The basic issue is Kronolith not providing //real// !CalDAV access to the
calendar, but only understands data written to it in iCalendar format. If
you set up the connection via Preferences | Accounts, iCal tries to use
!CalDAV.

Follow these steps for using iCal with Kronolith:
(Note: I'm working with the German translation of Horde and iCal, and
translate the labels back to English. Thus, the labels may not match
exactly.)

# Open your calendar in Horde.
# Click on "Calendar" in the upper right corner.
# Click on "Manage Calendars".
# You see a list of all your calendars. The righthand colum (labeled
"Subscribe Address") lists a URL. Right-click this URL and copy the target.
We assume it says
"https://yourserver.org/horde/rpc.php/kronolith/postmaster@yourserver.org.ics".
# Open iCal.
# Create a new local calendar by clicking the + sign in lower left corner
(you can also use an existing calendar).
# Right-click the calendar in the list, choose "Publish".
# Now the important step: In "Publish as", you MUST enter what's in your URL
between "/kronolith/" and ".ics", so in this case this would be
"postmaster at yourserver.org".
# Enter your server address as base URL, in this case
"https://yourserver.org/horde/rpc.php/kronolith".
# Enter your Horde login and password as Username and Password.
# I haven't yet figured out which of the checkboxes are taken into account
by Kronolith, so feel free to add such information here.
# Klick Publish.

And you're done. I didn't really test whether this method overwrites
contents of your Kronolith calendar, but it does not look like.
