RE: Commercial support for ICAP AUTHENTICATE?

["Steve Silverberg (Exchange)" <stevesil@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Mark,

If you look at the variety of C&S products available they break down into
two camps. Those that use messaging and others that use a "CAP-like" access
protocol. Pete O'leary can probably give you more insight on the latter.
Exchange, like some other products utilizes a proprietary RPC protocol for
administration and store access and messaging to perform "iTIP-like
functions". Encryption and authentication are embedded in the protocol and
obviously do not use clear text passwords.

I've been trying to find out what the commercial servers are supporting as
far as calendar access protocols go, and if they're supporting ICAP, what
authentication mechanism(s) they support.

Surprisingly, none of the big three specify this in their server literature.
