1965267 - Connecting to multiple online calendars for different users on the same server fails

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1964295

(Calendar :: General, defect)

Description

[kinnes]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:138.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/138.0

Steps to reproduce:

When connecting to a new online calendar, I put in the correct URL for the calendar and the username, and Thunderbird searches for available calendars. Tbird v.128ESR would then ask for the username's password for each calendar. Tbird 138 asks for the user's password only once, so if a subsequent calendar is for a different user the 'find calendar' process produces a non-existent calendar using an incorrect URL.

The correct URL is like:

https://someurl.com/calendars/someurl.com/username1/Calendar

Tbird 138 changes this to:

https://someurl.com/full-calendars/someurl.com/username2/3DC6B2E6-2206-4BDE-A7D6-441AEDFCEC94/

Where 'username2' is the username of the FIRST calendar I connected to.

Note that the username is changed by the Thunderbird find calendar process. I am unable to edit the second URL to correct the incorrect username or to add the password for the second username.

This appears to be the same as Bug 247486 which was closed 14 years ago, but seems to have re-appeared in v138.

I have reverted to v.128ESR to resolve the issue.

Actual results:

The calendar appears to connect but does not, and contains no calendar information.

Expected results:

I should be prompted for the password for each different user (as in previous versions). This works in v.128, but not v.138.
