Moreover, Apple iCal data is synchronized in both directions for theselected local calendar(s) which use the Kerio MailServer’s data store.For data synchronization, Kerio Sync Connector uses the WebDAV protocol. Therefore, HTTPand HTTPS services must be running in Kerio MailServer.Warning: In addition to configuration of the services on the server, it is also necessary tomap corresponding ports on the firewall protecting the server. Otherwise, services will not beavailable from the Internet (for details, see section 2.3).Kerio Sync Connector can be installed on workstations with operating systems Apple Mac OSX 10.4.9 and higher.
