Configuration using Repository.xml

The repository.xml file is used to configure the layout of the resources on the server. Specifically, it determines where the principals collection, which contains resources that represent the access control principals on the server (users, groups and resources), and the calendars collection, which contains all of the calendar collections that are available on the server, reside.

It also configures the access control base privileges for these resources.

It is unlikely that you will need to alter this file.

The default configuration defines a simple server layout:

• /
  • principals/
  • calendars/

The principals and calendars collections set up their own internal layouts and access controls, based on the directory service which is in use.
