Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/aluxnimm/outlookcaldavsynchronizer/issues/137

I wish to distribute Owncloud CalDav to our Club member. They all have Outlook but are all normal users which are only able to click on something.

Please add a possibility to import CallDav information with pre-set configs.

variant
create a filetype a user can add with a double click
like config.ocaldav
variant
Let the Installer look if a config file is available in the same directory like the Installer. If it do, Import it while installing. So I can ship a ZIp file with Installer and config to my comrades.

This is rather difficult, similar to https://sourceforge.net/p/outlookcaldavsynchronizer/features/36/

Thanks for the hint. but I'm afraid that this is not practicable for us. I'ts dificoult to migrate users from paper to digital and the quote for accepting these sunk to ground if they have to do more then just click on something.

Since the config file is just an Xml-File you can write a script/program, which starts the installer and creates the config file afterwards.

The developer could add support for SRV dns records which would make it far easier to deploy and allow for self discovery

The user enters their email address and the program checks for a caldav SRV dns record.

_caldav._tcp.mymaildomain.com. IN SRV 5 0 8443 caldav.myservicecompany.com.

Service: caldav.
Protocol: tcp
Host: mymaildomain.com
TTL: 14400
Type: SRV
Priority: 5
Weight: 0
Port: 8443
Points TO: caldav.myservicecompany.com

Will have a look into it and can implement the SRV and TXT lookups for autodiscovery maybe in one of the next releases.
