D-PHYS Calendar (SOGo)

This is a new service currently in beta. Please let us know if you encounter any issues.

Sogo is the current candidate for a new D-PHYS calendar solution. It offers sync via both CalDAV and ActiveSync and supports LDAP groups.

In comparison to our existing eGroupware solution it provides a number of features eGroupware is missing:

  • multiple calendars per account
  • public calendars that can be freely shared or integrated into a web page
  • LDAP group support. This means you can address the same group of people that have access to your group share
  • integration of web calendars (.ics)
  • also the web interface is more streamlined and less distracting

Of course, there's also ID's Exchange email/calendar solution. That one is a valid solution as long as you're in a pure Windows/Outlook environment, but it lacks some features that Sogo offers:

  • calendar sync via CalDAV (not just ActiveSync)
  • allow shared calendars to be synced
