LO78875: ICAL INVITES WITH UTC DEFINED AND VTIMEZONE, IGNORE THE TIMEZONE.

APAR status

• Closed as fixed if next.

Error description

• iCal invites with UTC defined AND VTIMEZONE, ignore the
  timezone.
  
  In one example, the iCal entry contained:
  
  DTEND;TZID=UTC:20140227T210000Z
  DTSTART;TZID=UTC:20140227T190000Z
  
  But also the icalendar information also contains the VTIMEZONE
  property, and within this parameter, the TZID is defined to be
  Central Standard Time.
  
  When imported to Notes, we ignore the timezone and add the entry
  to 7-9 PM.
  
  Other apps, Gmail and Outlook, look at the timezone and create
  the entry there (in this case, 2-4 EST).
  
  Is Notes working as designed per RFC 5545 or should we obey the
  timezone?   In this example the actual meeting was 1-3 Central
  time.
  

Local fix

• Manually change time.
