It is supposed that a CR manifold carries a metric which, on the maximal complex subspace of the tangent space, agrees with a choice of a Levi form. By using Cartan's moving frame method the local equivalence problem is solved. Then this solution is interpreted as a connection in a principal bundle. Finally, there are obtained the curvature and torsion for this connection and there are derived identities for the curvature.
