Setup
To enable each user to configure his/her client, they need to get the CalDAV URL for the different calendars they have access to.
If a user has access to the control panel, he/she can get the CalDav URL from "My account" → "CalDAV Sync".
Otherwise we can use the "CaldDAV URL Display" portlet which is included and place it on a page.
