# CalDAV Synchronization on iOS

**CalDAV** (Calendar Extensions to WebDAV) is the protocol used to synchronize calendar data between the university's [[groupware]] server and Apple iOS devices.

## Configuration Steps
To set up calendar synchronization on an iOS device:
1. Navigate to **Settings** $\rightarrow$ **Mail, Contacts, Calendars**.
2. Select **Add Account**.
3. Select **Other** (the last option in the list).
4. Select **Add CalDAV Account**.
5. Enter the following server details:
   - **Server**: `groupware.uni-greifswald.de`
   - **Username**: URZ-Nutzerkennung
   - **Password**: The password associated with the university account.
   - **Description**: CalDAV (or any preferred label).

Once configured, the university calendar will be available within the native iOS Calendar app.
