Jep, same here. Both, Nextcloud and thunderbird devs are already aware of out and trying to find a solution. I hope it will find it’s way already into NC14 and/or next thunderbird/lightning release.

There is also this new TBsync plugin that does it much more conveniently (multi calendar and also CardDAV) and doesn’t seem to need this fix (Edit: as pointed out below it does also). Just make sure you use the latest betas as I figured out here: [https://github.com/jobisoft/TbSync/issues/115](https://github.com/jobisoft/TbSync/issues/115)

_Edit: Whoops, thought you write “more efficiently” but you actually wrote “more conveniently” 😆. Removed my then obsolete text._

Since it is just a wrapper, it should suffer the same issue:

> will add the found calendars to lightning and let lightning handle the sync

6th Aug 2020

Having set up an address book in NextCloud I am trying duplicate it into my Thunderbird system so that I can keep the two in sync. So far I have had no success.

I am running Thunderbird 68.10.0 (on Ubuntu 20.04) with Provider for CalDAV and CardDAV 1.12 and TbSync 2.12; my NextCloud instance is nextcloudpi at version 18.0.7 (obviously, running on a Raspberry Pi).

Following the instruction given at:

[https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/12.0/user\_manual/pim/sync\_thunderbird.html](https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/12.0/user_manual/pim/sync_thunderbird.html)

and entering the URL given by copying the NextCloud address book link, it is

[https://nextcloudpi.local/remote.php/dav/addressbooks/users/Eric/minimalinfo/](https://nextcloudpi.local/remote.php/dav/addressbooks/users/Eric/minimalinfo/)

and entering the credentials I use (successfully) to log in to NextCloud clicking on Validate gives the message “Validation failed” (there are three, I think, previous messages which disappear too fast to read but they all end with “X”)

This problem is referenced above (and elsewhere) which suggests that the value of a configuration parameter,

network.cookie.same-site.enabled,

in Thunderbird be changed from true to false. On my version of Thunderbird tat parameter doesn’t exist; adding it to the list and setting it to false as set down here

[https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/config-editor](https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/config-editor)

does not change the outcome of the creation of the Thunderbird address book – validation still fails.

Can anyone point out where I am going wrong.

Thanks in advance for any help.  
Eric
