[kronolith] ICS subscription and login

[ppmail at posteo.net]

Hey,
thanks for all the info. Those solutions probably won't work for us, however, as I don't have admin access to the horde instance. There seems to be a solution with token access to the calendar data already — kronolith gives HTML code with a URL to embed a calendar on my website and that includes a token. But there is no way yet to use this token to access the calendar data through ICS?

Best and many thanks
Pepe

Anon access is possible but a little cumbersome. Per-share access 
tickets for calendars and other share-like resources are "on the list" 
but without any date. Wouldn't want to wake expectations by now.


There are two solutions for now:

a)

Iirc, you would want to make the calendar guest readable in permissions. 
You also need "guest" access to the kronolith app and horde base app 
(one may be sufficient, don't remember exactly)

b)

create a tool account, make the calendar readable for the tool user. 
Create a reverse proxy in apache/nginx for the share address and add the 
appropriate authentication header to the proxied requests.
