Chapter 40  Kerio Sync Connector for Mac

Table of Contents

40.1  Installation
40.2  Synchronization troubleshooting

Kerio Sync Connector is a special application which enables bi-directional data synchronization between Kerio MailServer and the Apple iCal or the Apple Address Book application:

The main benefit of Kerio Sync Connector is that the synchronization for both applications can be set at a single point.

For data synchronization, Kerio Sync Connector uses the WebDAV protocol. Therefore, HTTP and HTTPS services must be running in Kerio MailServer.

Warning

In addition to configuration of the services on the server, it is also necessary to map corresponding ports on the firewall protecting the server. Otherwise, services will not be available from the Internet (for details, see section 2.3  Firewall configuration).

Specific options for the Kerio Sync Connector are focused in the Kerio MailServer 6, User's Guide.

Recommendation for Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard:

Disable calendar synchronization in the Kerio Sync Connector and use native calendar synchronization via CalDAV in Apple iCal (see chapter 35  CalDAV support).
