Title:
Enable carddav OAuth2 scope ( https://www.googleapis.com/auth/carddav
) in Ubuntu Online Account (Vivid)
Status in evolution-data-server package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Bug description:
It seems Ubuntu does not enable CardDav scope
(https://www.googleapis.com/auth/carddav) in online account. Ubuntu
only enables Google Contacts API (Gdata)
https://www.google.com/m8/feeds/ which is NOT same as CardDav. As a
result when some application( ex. Syncevolution) tries to access it
(through oauth2), it gives “authentication failed error”.
For example, running following command:
'''
SYNCEVOLUTION_DEBUG=1 syncevolution --print-databases –daemon=no\
loglevel=2 backend=carddav username=uoa:3,google-contacts\
syncURL=https://www.googleapis.com/.well-known/carddav
'''
gives following error:
“PROPFIND: Neon error code 1: 403 Forbidden, must not retry”
NOTE: It is required that that the scope for accessing CardDAV needs to be
specified in the sources too. Having it only in the APIs Console is not enough.
Otherwise Google rejects access to the CardDAV resources with a 401 "AuthSub
challenge".
