Thanks
for the suggestion.It works - so I could sync my addressbook from
the other Owncloud userid.The pitty is, that thunderbird
apparently takes those credentials from that moment on.so all the
other adressbook and various calendars residing in my main Owncloud
userid won't sync afterwards.As you said - the password is
transfered in plain text - so a manual once in a while sync is ok, but I
do not want the autosync to regularly pass on the passwords.I therefore would expect, that the SOGo Connector does take on board
the task to build in a seperate authentication methode.This
Problem relates to the API between ADDONs (like the SOGo Connector) and
thunderbird.This API should allow to pass on secretly the
credentials of what and how to connect to.I searched
in Thunderbird fora and bugzilla but did not find anything like it.So I think this should be addressed to Thunderbird as well (in
Bugzilla??) Thanks for your hint and supportKarl52

Some information about my setup
I use Thunderbird for mailing, calendar, contacts and tasks
Lightning is the Calendar addon for Thunderbird.
I also have installed an Owncloud Server, and use the CalDav Plugin
to
sync my various Calendars in Thunderbird with OwnCloud Server.
I maintain several seperat Calendars in Thunderbird - those are
added to
1(one) specific Owncloud Userid in on my cloud.
Also I maintain various addressbooks in Thunderbird (both version
17 and
24) and my Owncloud Server.
As there is no support for multiple address books for a
single user in
Owncloud, I try to sync addressbooks from different users on my
OwnCloud
Server with a single User in Thunderbird.
I use the SOGo Connector (version 17.0.5) to sync.
This does not work as expected.
I guess the reason is, that the only configuration option in the
SOGo
Connector is to enter the CardDav Server Address.
There is no option to specify the Credentials UserID and PW for the
SOGo
CardDav connection.
I wonder anyhow, what userid is actually used by the SOGo
Connector.
It seems that the CardDav Connector uses the same credentials as
the
CaldDav addon (would it work without the CalDav Addon??)
Why do I think this is the case?
Well - the address book of the specific CALDav user
mentioned above is
syncronized without errors.
So my question is:
Is there a plan or workaround to add UserID and PW credentials to
the
CardDAV configuration options for the SOGo Plugin connector?
All Plug-Ins I know use Thunderbird for the authentication part.
This means, they all have one user associated to one server URL in
the
password store.
As you already connect to that server with another Plug-In,
Thunderbird
will reuse its username and password for SOGo Connector too.
What you can do is using another URL e.g. by setting an alias in your
host file for the same IP.
Or you can give the credential as part of the URL.
syntax:
https://username1:passw...@owncloud.example.com/.
The drawback of this way, you have to set the password in plain text
into the config.
Kind regards,
Christian Mack
