This guide details how administrators can deploy two-way calendar synchronisation (CalDAV) and read-only calendar subscriptions (CalSub) across managed iOS enterprise devices using the Mobile Guardian Dashboard.

Access the Calendar Settings

  • Navigate to Profiles in your Mobile Guardian portal.
  • Select the profile assigned to your target corporate devices.
  • Select the What tab, then click on Calendars.

CalDAV Integration (Two-Way Calendar Sync)

CalDAV allows managed endpoints to establish a two-way synchronisation account with enterprise calendar servers (e.g., Apple iCloud, Nextcloud, or Google Calendar). End-users can read, edit, and create events directly from their mobile devices.

Configuration Fields

  • CalDAV Description: A required display name for the account configuration (e.g., Corporate Operations Calendar).
  • Hostname: The domain name or IP address of the target CalDAV server, including the port number if non-standard (e.g., calendar.company.com:8443).
  • Port: The network port required for the server connection (typically 443 for SSL/TLS or 8443).
  • Principal URL: The specific URL path designated for the user's calendar collection on the CalDAV server.
  • Account Username: The primary identifier or corporate email assigned to authenticate the account.
  • Account Password: The service credential or token corresponding to the account username.
  • Use SSL: Check this box to enforce Secure Sockets Layer (SSL/TLS) encryption for all communications between the device and the calendar server.

CalSub Integration (Read-Only Subscribed Calendars)

CalSub enables devices to subscribe to external, read-only calendar feeds (such as company holiday schedules, shift rosters, or industry event feeds) via an .ics file URL or subscription server.

Configuration Fields

  • CalSub Description: A display name identifying the calendar subscription payload (e.g., Company Holidays & Observances).
  • CalSub Hostname: The server hostname or IP address (along with port number) hosting the subscribed .ics calendar feed.
  • Account Password: The access password required if the calendar subscription feed is secured.
  • Use SSL: Check this box to mandate encrypted connections when downloading and updating calendar feed data.
