So I have two calendars on two different web applications. I want to take advantage of the calendar overlay option in sharepoint 2010.
cal1 on http://intranet1
with service account (serviceaccount1)
cal2 on http://intranet2
with a different service account (serviceaccount2)
Since they are two different web applications and different content databases, they also each have their own domain accounts that access it.
So when I tried to overlay cal2 from http://intranet2
onto cal1 onto http://intranet1
. I got an error. The logs show that the service account for http://intranet1
could not access cal2 on http://intranet2
. Failed to login into the content database for it.
So in my mind I would ask our database guys to allow serviceaccount1 read access to the content database for that web application (http://intranet2
).
But is that the way to do it. Do I break something? Should I do it another way through central admin? Can I just "add" domian accounts to other web applications? Whats the best way?
