SUMMARY Trying to add CalDAV / CArdDAV resources from SOGo server, akonadi fails to retrieve collections, and complains about lack of authentication STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Add an Address Book 2. akonadi_davgroupware assistant pops up and asks for credentials 3. asks for server name and computes the full URLs (notice ther last part is missing, ie personal/ is my case, name of my address book) 4. when clicking OK, a popup appears and complains that the web site does not require authentication, warning for a possible trap, and asks for confirmation 5. after confirmation, nothing happens... looking at akonadiconsole, the resources shows "Extracting collections (0%" OBSERVED RESULT No usable resources (address book or calendar) is added. Evolution and Android DAVx5 work fine with server. Going to the url with a browser asks for authentication. EXPECTED RESULT Add and synchronize address book(s) and calendar(s) available on the SOGo server SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: Ubuntu 22.04 / KDE Plasma 5.24.3 (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: 5.24.3 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.91.0 Qt Version: 5.15.2 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I found the origin of the problem: the resource URLs have moved and the server is redirecting (301) to a new URL. Evolution as well as DAVx5 cope with this, but akonadi does not. Using the current url (and not the redirected one) works...
