When a search is performed, the [LIMITS] maxsearchresult parameter determines the maximum number of search results to return to the client. Assume page-forward is TRUE, maxsearchresult is set to 100, and you search for all users whose surname begins with "S".

Refresh intervals and agenda ranges
Section
Parameter
Description
Configures the refresh intervals and agenda ranges, in seconds, that the CorporateTime Outlook Connector uses when it queries the server for new events.
This parameter is a list of intervals, separated by commas and enclosed in {}. Each interval in the list has the following format:
: -<lower bound> +<upper bound>
where <interval>, <lower bound> and <upper bound> are all expressed in seconds. The <interval> determines the refresh interval. The <lower bound> and <upper bound> determine a range of time.
Every <interval> specifies a time when the calendar server should refresh Outlook with the associated range of agenda data. For example, the entry {900: -0 +172800} specifies that every 15 minutes (<interval> of 900 seconds) the server should refresh Outlook with an agenda range beginning at the current time (<lower bound> of 0 seconds) and continuing through 2 days following (<upper bound> of 172800 seconds).
Accepted values
<interval>, <lower bound> and <upper bound> are integers in the range 0-65535
Default value
{0: -86400 +518400, 2700: -604800 +10886400, 79200: -0 +0}
The first interval specifies that all client-initiated queries for events have a minimum agenda range of one day previous (-86400) through to six days (+518400) following the time of the query. The second interval tells the client to query the server every 45 minutes (2700) for events in the range of one week previous (-604800) to six weeks (+10886400) from the time of the query. The third interval tells the client to query the server every 22 hours (79200) for all events.

TRUE (enable authentication, compression, encryption)
FALSE (disable authentication, compression, encryption)
Default value
Maximum number of shared libraries per type
Section

Supported authentication methods for clients
Section
Parameter
Description
Specifies a list of the authentication methods the calendar server supports for clients.
Both the cs-basic and the cs-standard methods use the calendar server name and password of a user to authenticate that user. Both encrypt the user password; cs-standard also encrypts the user name. This encryption is independent of the negotiated encryption method. The server applies the negotiated encryption on top of this encryption.
The cs-basic authentication method works with all calendar clients, regardless of client version. It pre-dates the calendar server ACE module.
cs-standard is the recommended authentication method to use where the client supports it. It offers a higher level of security (better authentication and encryption) than cs-basic.
Only the cs-basic and cs-standard methods currently work with LDAP directory servers.

A list of one or more of the following, separated by commasand enclosed in {}:
Any installed SASL authentication method (e.g. sasl:KERBEROS_V4)
