Hello,

I have a nextcloud dav calendar. Even though it does sync with Thunderbird, when running Thunderbird 77.0b3 it does not sync. I am not ask to provide credentials, I simply add the path and username and it does not sync. Is there a known solution to this?

Thank you!! Apotolos Gioulis

I figured it out, if anyone else has the same problem I will post the answer here:

  • Thunderbird does not ask to user validation of a self signed certificate and will not accept it, as a result the log trace in the server is non-existent.

If you have a self-signed cert add it as system trusted, in my case I ran: 

#system-wide
sudo trust anchor --store ./my-selfsigned-cert.crt 
sudo update-ca-trust 
#mozilla
certutil -d sql:$HOME/.pki/nssdb -A -t "C,," -n my-nextcloud -i ./my-selfsigned-cert.crt
