Unable access addressbook by roundcube/carddav plugin after up Nextcloud 17.0.3

[danjde]

Hi friends,
I'm using Debian 9, Apache 2.4.25, PHP version 7.3, and Nextcloud version 17.0.3, Roundcube version 1.2.3, roundcube/carddav Plugin version 3.0.3  on own VPS.

I've upgraded PHP from 7.0 to 7.3, then I've upgraded Nextcloud from 15.x to 17.0.3, and now seems not possible to connect the Nextcloud address book with Roundcube, which previously occurred correctly.

I've open a support request to Nextcloud forum and write personally to the developer Michael Stilkerich, with no luck for now.

An NC forum user looking into this log,

...seems as if this could be the solution. located in roundcube. dev of addressbook-app should have been aware of it

What do you think about?

Try updating your version of Roundcube. Roundcube 1.2.3 was released 10 Mar 2017 while PHP 7.3 was released 06 Dec 2018.

Hi JohnDoh and thanks for your help!
The problem has been understood and resolved.

The previous Nextcloud version (15.0.4) allowed DAV connection using "email user" as well as "username",
the new one (17.x.x) no, only "username".
This obviously created the authentication failure, since the plugin was configured to use the entire email.

Log:

Code Select Expand


<s:exception>OCA\\DAV\\Connector\\Sabre\\Exception\\PasswordLoginForbidden</s:exception>
  <s:message/>

The solution was to change how the plugin communicates the connection string and username, substituting on the general configuration "&u" with "&l"

here:

Code Select Expand


        // will be substituted for the roundcube username
        'username'     =>  '%l',

and there:

Code Select Expand

        // %u will be substituted for the CardDAV username
        'url'          =>  'https://server.example.org:443/cloud/remote.php/dav/addressbooks/users/%l/contacts/',

Ultimately,  all is well that ends well and the last one closes the door!
