I have never used Axigen, but I work on a WebDAV/CalDAV server, so I
know about the topic in general.
First thing I would do is (a) consult the documentation of the server
for configuration information (b) connect to the server with a generic
WebDAV client, (c) use curl to hit the .well-known URI to see if the
server supports that.
(b) CalDAV is a *superset* of WebDAV, so a CalDAV server is a WebDAV
server [unless it is ***terribly*** implemented]. You can use cadaver
if you like to work in a terminal or GVFS can connect to WebDAV.
Just aim nautilus at dav://{user}@{serverName}/{uri} and you should
be able to access the server, if that doesn't work, Evolution will not
work, as your URI is wrong.
P.S. You can use davs:// to do WebDAV over HTTPS
(c) curl -u {username} -v http://{servername}/.well-known/caldav
This should provide an HTTP/301 to the root of the server's CalDAV
collection. This is the official way for clients to do
auto-configuration when meeting a new server.
curl -v -u adam https://www.example.com/.well-known/caldav
< HTTP/1.1 301 Moved
< Server: nginx/1.4.0
< Date: Wed, 11 Mar 2015 00:37:43 GMT
< Content-Type: application/octet-stream
< Content-Length: 0
< Connection: keep-alive
< Set-Cookie:
< Location: /dav/Calendar/
This mean CalDAV begins at https://www.example.com/dav/Calendar/
