Okay, thanks - I think I got it generally. I will try to create some sort of test scenario to see this, but this is up to me. > Did you verify the URL for the OS/X server the same way?

That´s what I think too: Mac OS used a Webdav collection after all, so there should be no problem. The only difference between the ownCloud and the Mac server is that Mac uses https (or davs, in other words). I also thought about a wrong/incomplete URL, so what I did is the following: 1. connected in Nautilus to the URL davs://server:8843/ 2. I was prompted for the password (and I am sure to have entered the correct one). 2. I then see two folders on the Mac server: - davs://server:8843/addressbooks - davs://server:8843/principals Under each of these two dirs (in which I can change in Nautilus), I see 2 more folders: "users" and "groups". But no matter if I´m in "addressbooks" or "principals", I cannot change into these 2 subdirs: I get an "access denied" error. I guess this is a problem of the Mac server, but I wonder how other clients (I am connecting both via a iPhone and an Android-based phone to the carddav server) manage to connect then. Do you see any explanation here that may help me to find the difference between those clients and my linux system?
