Adventures with the Nokia E62 - Calendar synchronization with Oracle calendar

Today I finally managed to get the calendar on my E62 to sync with our Oracle Calendar installation. Despite the fact that we have SSL-enabled authentication for our SyncML server, I couldn't get that to work, so I'm sadly authenticating insecurely to the calendar (luckily it's a separate password from everything else).

Here's how I did it:

Interestingly enough, on the E62 the Sync application is in the Office folder. Within Sync I set up a new Sync Profile, called Oracle cal.

Under Applications in that profile, I defined Calendar settings to:

- Include in sync: Yes
- Remote database: ./Calendar/Events
- Synchronization type: Normal

I defined Connection Settings as:

- Server version: 1.1
- Data bearer: Internet
- Access Point: Always ask
- Host address: http://ctime-as.cac.washington.edu/ocst-bin/ocas.fcgi
- Port: 80
- User name: my Oracle Cal user name
- Password: my Oracle Cal password
- Allow sync requests: Yes
- Accept all sync reqs: Yes
- Network authentic: No

Your mileage may vary.
