Overview<\/h2>\n
\n
Warning:<\/div>\n
\n

Because cPanel, L.L.C. doesn\u2019t develop or ship these applications, cPanel Technical Support can\u2019t help you set this up.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
Important:<\/div>\n
\n
    \n
  • We strongly<\/strong> recommend that you use secure HTTP (https<\/code>) for your connection.<\/li>\n
  • If your server uses a self-signed certificate, your application will prompt you with the message Cannot Verify Server Identity<\/em>. Tap Continue<\/em> to complete the set up process.<\/li>\n
  • Do not<\/strong> use your web browser to navigate to the URLs that cPanel\u2019s Calendars and Contacts<\/em> interface displays. They do not contain human-readable information.<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    This article describes how to set up cPanel calendars and contacts on Apple\u00ae desktop, mobile device operating systems, and in Roundcube 1.4 using CalDAV and CardDAV.<\/p>\n

    On Android\u2122 devices we recommend using Exchange ActiveSync to set up calendars, contacts, and email. For more information, read our How to Sync Calendars, Contacts, and Email on Android Devices documentation.<\/p>\n

    Configuration information<\/h2>\n

    You can find your calendar (CalDAV) and contacts (CardDAV) setup information in cPanel\u2019s Calendars and Contacts<\/em> interface (cPanel >> Home >> Email >> Calendars and Contacts<\/em>). For example:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • Server<\/strong> \u2014 example.com:2080<\/code><\/li>\n
    • User Name<\/strong> \u2014 example<\/code> or user@example.com<\/code><\/li>\n
    • Password<\/strong> \u2014 123456luggage<\/code><\/li>\n
    • Description<\/strong> \u2014 My Calendars<\/code><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
      \n
      Note:<\/div>\n
      \n

      cPanel\u2019s Calendars and Contacts<\/em> feature does not<\/strong> function with the iOS\u00ae Reminder application if your server uses a self-signed SSL certificate, and does not<\/strong> support Horde\u2019s Free\/Busy system for third-party applications.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

      Calendar delegation<\/h2>\n

      You can manage calendar delegations through cPanel\u2019s Calendar Delegation<\/em> interface (cPanel >> Home >> Email >> Calendar Delegation<\/em>). This feature is useful for the following reasons:<\/p>\n

        \n
      • Create an account for a resource (for example, a conference room) and allow others to reserve it.<\/li>\n
      • Allow a manager to view their subordinates\u2019 calendars.<\/li>\n
      • Allow an assistant to manage a manager\u2019s calendar for them.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        Refer to your mail application\u2019s documentation for instructions on how calendar delegates can view the delegated calendar. Roundcube users can view our How to View a Delegated Calendar on Roundcube<\/em> documentation.<\/p>\n

                              Roundcube\u2019s database stores the internal calendar\u2019s data. You can also add a CalDAV calendar to Roundcube. This version of Roundcube includes a mobile-responsive theme. You can find instructions to set up a Horde calendar in Roundcube on mobile in the Roundcube 1.4 for mobile devices section of this document.<\/p>\n

                              Access your calendar application\u2019s configuration interface<\/h4>\n

                              Perform the necessary steps to access the calendars (CalDav) and contacts (CardDav) account configuration interface for your calendar application. These steps vary between calendar applications. For more information, read your calendar application\u2019s documentation.<\/p>\n

                              To connect the Horde calendar to Roundcube, perform the following steps to obtain Horde\u2019s CalDAV URL:<\/p>\n

                                \n
                              1. In the Calendars and Contacts<\/em> interface (cPanel >> Home >> Email >> Calendars and Contacts<\/em>), scroll to the Direct URLs for Calendars and Contacts<\/em> section.<\/li>\n
                              2. Highlight and copy the URL for the Calendar<\/em> type that you wish to use from the list.\n
                                \n
                                Note:<\/div>\n

                                The Horde CalDAV URL should resemble one of the examples below:<\/p>\n

                                  \n

                                      Roundcube 1.4 for mobile devices<\/h3>\n

                                      To add a Horde calendar to Roundcube 1.4 for mobile devices, perform the following steps:<\/p>\n

                                      Access your calendar application\u2019s configuration interface<\/h4>\n

                                      Perform the necessary steps to access the calendars (CalDav) and contacts (CardDav) account configuration interface for your calendar application. These steps vary between calendar applications. For more information, read your calendar application\u2019s documentation.<\/p>\n

                                      To connect the Horde calendar to Roundcube, perform the following steps to obtain Horde\u2019s CalDAV URL:<\/p>\n

                                        \n
                                      1. In cPanel\u2019s Calendars and Contacts<\/em> interface (cPanel >> Home >> Email >> Calendars and Contacts<\/em>), scroll to the Direct URLs for Calendars and Contacts<\/em> section.<\/li>\n
                                      2. Highlight and copy the URL for the Calendar<\/em> type that you wish to use from the list.\n
                                        \n
                                        Note:<\/div>\n
                                        \n

                                        We recommend that you use URLs from the Secure SSL\/TLS URLs<\/em> list.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                                        The Horde CalDAV URL should resemble one of the examples below:<\/p>\n

                                          • \n

                                            Navigate to https:\/\/example.com:2096<\/code> in your mobile browser. In this example, replace example.com<\/code> with your email address\u2019s domain. For more information, read our How to Log in to Your Server or Account documentation.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

                                            After you first log in, the Webmail interface will appear. cPanel & WHM ships with the Roundcube and Horde webmail clients. Roundcube is cPanel & WHM\u2019s default webmail client.<\/p>\n

                                            If Roundcube is not your current webmail client, click Roundcube\u2019s logo or text description. You will see it in the Open your inbox<\/em> section of the Webmail interface.<\/p>\n
