macOS/IOS configuration profile

downloading and installing the macOS configuration profile results an emty calendar namend nextcloud and an empty adress book named nextcloud. Trying a calDAV / cardDAV setup with https://mysite.com/nextcloud/remote.php/dav/calendars/myname/ will not connect either but works with my other OSX PIM software.

You normally use just the server name:
https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/21/user_manual/en/pim/sync_osx.html

This requires that the .well-known redirects are configured (there should be a warning if that isn’t the case):

Just some information for those who face this same issue:

  • on Mac OS 10.12: neither the Manual nor Advanced configuration worked
  • on Mac OS 10.10.5: the Manual configuration failed, the Advanced worked, with below parameters:

User Name: jdoe@example.it
Password: the password
Server Address: https://mync.example.com/
Server Path: /remote.php/dav
Port: 443 :white_check_mark: Use SSL

The settings in the manual (https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/latest/user_manual/ca/pim/sync_osx.html) do NOT work on my Mac OSX versions …

For problem with documentation, there is a bug tracker for that: GitHub - nextcloud/documentation: 📘 Nextcloud documentation

On the documentation itself, it shows a link so you can directly edit the document and correct the error.
