- Ensure security credentials are correct.
Check Team Calendar Global Settings.
- Click Administration tab in the top navigation bar.
- Navigate to General configuration » Team Calendars » Global Settings tab.
- Confirm the Disable Private URLs is unchecked.
Cause
Private URLs allow users to securely subscribe to Team Calendars without requiring login credentials. This is required for integration with some web-based calendar applications such as Google Calendar. If disabled, subscriptions to these external services will not work, however users will still be able to subscribe through desktop applications such as Microsoft Outlook.
Solution
Check Team Calendar Global Settings.
- Click Administration tab in the top navigation bar.
- Navigate to General configuration » Team Calendars » Global Settings tab.
- Uncheck the Disable Private URLs and Save changes.
If this doesn't help, increase logging for com.atlassian.confluence.extra.calendar3 class.
- Navigate to General configuration » Logging and Profiling.
- Add the class without spaces or special characters in the Class/Package text box and change the log level to DEBUG.
