Server: Cannot connect with CardBook

[biva]

I have issues to connect my Nextcloud with CardBook on Thunderbird, while it works on DavDroid. I get a validation error when creating a new address book to sync with Nextcloud.

We are trying to find a solution with CardBookd developer on https://gitlab.com/CardBook/CardBook/issues/306 but without success. You'll find all our investigation there.

Steps:

1. Create new address book
2. Enter CalDAV info (https://nextcloud.mysite.com/remote.php/dav/addressbooks/users/sisim/Perso/
3. Credentials, click Validate
4. Error message: "Validation en erreur"

Version:

TB 60.0b7
Cardbook 29.6
Nextcloud 13.0.4
Contacts app 2.1.5

Investigating further, it does not come from Nextcloud, but from Thunderbird. I close it for now

For all Users with Thunderbird 60, problems with Address and Calendar Sync.

You need

-> about:config
----> network.cookie.same-site.enabled = true ---> false

Than works all sync......

The above fix from @vampsm also fixes lightning calender connection issues.

[dcrobertson01]

Edit -> Preferences -> General -> Config Editor.

Above worked for me also. Thank you so much @vampsm

Windows version of thunderbird, select tools, options, general tab, "config editor"

Changing
network.cookie.same-site.enabled = true ---> false
worked for me also. DON'T FORGET TO RESTART THUNDERBIRD!
Otherwise the changes won#t take effect.

[diqidoq]

network.cookie.same-site.enabled does not exist anymore in latest Thunderbird and issue still persists.

@diqidoq Are you aware that this is the Nextcloud product bug tracker and NOT the Nextcloud help forum? Thundebird 68.3.0/Cardbook 43.1 are definitely working with Nextcloud 17.x. Please use the search function of the Nextcloud help forum to find answers on your question, see e.g.
https://help.nextcloud.com/search?q=thunderbird%2060%20cardbook

[karlmiles]

@diqidoq, if network.cookie.cookiebehavior is set to 2 or 3, change it to 1, and it should work. I had the same trouble with Thunderbird 68 and searching lead me here.
