Contacts&Calendars for RN6: Baikal & iOS no cardDAV sync !!

Did anyone tried Netgear's baikal for RN6 ?

I have solved the carddav problem on IOS7.

The problem is caused by IOS7 messing up the account-url and putting the same thing in there twice.

This is how to set up a contacts account to a baikal server (all on the IOS7 device - baikal is just fine)

1. go to the settings-app. select E-mail, contactcs, calendars', and set up a new CardDAV account.
2. in the 'Server' field, add the complete path to your contacts. Something like: my.domain.com/baikal-flat/card.php/principals/mycalendar
3. in the 'user name' field, repeat the name of your calendar (mycalendar in this example)
4. in the 'password' field... well, the password.
5. tap 'next'
6. You end up back in the list of accounts. Select the account that you just created. Select 'advanced'.

7. Now comes the weird bit. In the 'Account-url' field, everything you entered in step 2, earlier on has been repeated. Something like this:
my.domain.com/baikal-flat/card.php/principals/mycalendar/my.domain.com/baikal-flat/card.php/principals/mycalendar
Just edit the field to correct this.
8. When you're done, IOS7 will complain that it can't establish an SSL connection, and it will ask if it should try to create a non-ssl connection. Decline.
9. Now, IOS7 will warn that it might just have created a non-working account. But it hasn't. At this point, it should all work just fine.

Just remember, the only problem is that IOS7 messes up the 'account-url' field. Just correct it and you're good.

How can I didn't notice your answer before! Thanks for the advice sjuul :)
When I tried this add-on on november, I had a look on the address but it's been few month so I don'tremeber if it was doing the 'double address' you told me. I tried again today and I noticed what you explained me : this is definitively a potential source of failure. Still, taking care of it didn't sync my iOS to Baikal :( (Baikal syncs correctly with OS X).
But the example address you wrote contains difference compare to the one given by Baïkal add-on made by NETGEAR :
"Server: ipaddress:7500/card.php(note: no http:// nor https://, and no trailing slash) "
- you didn't specify the port ? and you insert a "baikal-flat" ?
- so I am wondering if you installed this addon yourself via a command line or did you install netgear's package from OS6 interface ? (maybe it's a stupid question, but I tried so many solutions without success... it's getting me crazy :x )

Thanks for your help.

Note : I also heard about the SSL 'false' warning that we should rejected so it should sync with SSL, isn't it? I am asking because when I'll have a working card sync I would like to sync with SSL to replace my local ip by my domain name (to be able to sync from outside my homeLAN).

I finally obtain half a success on my quest :D. I configured an account without SSL, edit the adress like sjuul said, and iOS gave me the warning that it will probably not work ; but in fact the sync is effective !
Then I decided to try for SSL.
1) I edited the working account to activate SSL using the port 7500 :port used by the add-on (see the add-on help). but it didn't worked.
2) then a recreate the account from the beginning but this time without accepting to switch to non-SSL connection when the iphone warned me. It neither worked :(.

I really would like to be able to use SSL, that would allow me to replace in the setting my local LAN IP address with my full address and avoid sending request to the 192.168... each time I connect my iOS through 3G or a hotspot :/
Otherwise could I install a VPN server on my NAS ? then connect my iphone to my vpn and then use my local LAN IP address in Baïkal settings like it is currently ?

Thanks for you help, I finally could go a little forward.

There's rumors about local iOS sync to come back with iTunes 11.1.6 and Mavericks 10.9.3
Anyway, I'll keep this add-on for CalDAV/cardDAV active for a backup purpose.
