Hi,
I'm working on something for our office and I'm hoping I can do this:
I'd like to somehow read the free/busy calendar for users. Basically, be able to specify some sort of url but that just kicks back whether the person is free/busy/out-of-office, in essence, the data that's in the scheduling tab of outlook but in html/xml/json/something I can parse.
Anyone know if the is possible? Outlook and the KC Client have to get the data SOMEHOW, so there must be some trigger to grab a string of bytes that contains it.
Thanks,
Jeff

Yeah, they get the data, via a secure connection. Also there is no way that you can do this with outlook or the kerio connector, even with an outlook addin. Simply because the user data is protected and you wouldn't have access to it anyway. Aside from your user.
The only way you could do something like this for all users is on the server itself, kerio file dir > store > domain > username > calendar. Every calendar entry is saved there as txt file. You could index those, save them in a mysql db, refresh every 1 h or whatever and do whatever you wanna do from there.
But mind you - you will need explicit, written allowance from you boss to do so (aside from the admin having a word in it too). Because you access the user folders and possible mails themself without check. So at least for your OWN protection, do a written statement with the boss and define, what data is accessed and what for. This is even more important if you live in the EU, because the GPDR requires it and you will be fucked if you do this without proper explanation and documentation.
Btw. - outlook has already some function for this. At least from 2010 onwards. Might check this first.
