nextcloud
No contacts sync with MacOS and IMAP user backend
This happens only to contacts with MacOS. Calendar sync on MacOS is working as well as contacts sync on iOS with this related account.
Steps to reproduce
- Login with IMAP credentials and copy contacts URI from contacts app in NextCloud
- Create a new Carddav account in MacOS. Type: manual, User/password: IMAP credentials, Serveraddress: pasted from previous step.
Expected behaviour
MacOS downloads all existing contacts and is able to sync as expected from other carddav clients like iOS.
Actual behaviour
MacOS tries to verify the configuration and says "Username/Password could not be verified"
In the Serverlogs i noticed a difference between this carddav calls and the working calls from the Nextcloud sync application. Carddav (not working):
"PROPFIND /nextcloud/remote.php/dav/addressbooks/users/**imapuser%
40example.com**/contacts/ HTTP/1.1" "-" "Mac OS X/10.13.3 (17D102) AddressBook/1808.6"
Nextcloud sync Client (working):
"PROPFIND /nextcloud/remote.php/dav/files/**[email protected]**/ HTTP/1.1" "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh) mirall/2.3.3 (build 84) (Nextcloud)"
As you can see, the "@" is encoded as "%40" from the MacOS Contacts application. So i've created these two aliases in apache:
Alias '/nextcloud/remote.php/dav/addressbooks/users/imapuser%40example.com/contacts/' 'https://example.com/nextcloud/remote.php/dav/addressbooks/users/[email protected]/contacts/'
Alias '/nextcloud/remote.php/dav/principals/users/imapuser%40example.com/contacts/' 'https://example.com/nextcloud/remote.php/dav/principals/users/[email protected]/contacts/'
... and now it works like a charm :-) I guess we need another workaround like https://github.com/nextcloud/apps/pull/35
