Details

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:97.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/97.0

Steps to reproduce:

  1. DAViCal server selfhosted on raspberry Pi with self-signed certificate, connected to by box, with public_port forwarded to raspberry Pi webserver port 443 [works fine on Android phone with aCal and DavX5].
  2. Fresh Linux Ubuntu Studio 20.04 LTS, Thunderbird 92.5.0 64 bits including Lightning client install (French language, GUI hazardously translated to English in this bug report)
  3. Create new network calendar
  4. enter username + caldav address: https://public_ipv4:public_port/davical/caldav.php/username/calendar
  5. click "Find calendar"
  6. click "Confirm security exception" 7 times

Actual results:

Back to "Create new network calendar" dialog box, no password asked nor calendar created.

Going to Edit/Prefs/Security/Certificates/Servers, an exception have been recorded for public_ipv4:443... and not for public_ipv4:public_port !!!

Workaround1: connect to CalDAV server from local network (but works only when at home).
Workaround2: manually add a server exception with public_ipv4:public_port makes adding calendar to work fine (and delete public_ipv4:443 one).

Expected results:

Exception should have been added for public_ipv4:public_port which have been given in CalDAV server URL.

Cyril, this sounds like bug 1750655 which has been fixed in Thunderbird ESR 91.6.1 and Thunderbird 98 beta or greater. Your provided version "Thunderbird 92.5.0" has never been an official release.

Sorry about TB version, good in bug header, wrong in text: I've got 91.5.0 (not 92).
And yes, It seems like a duplicate. You can close!
