Summary0005655: Invitation error and inconsistency
Description

Since Thunderbird is the primary interface our users use to interact with sogo and it's been a long time without a working sogo connector plugin an interesting issue came up.

If someone with a mail-address attached to an sogo account creates an event invitation in Thunderbird and the personal sogo calendar is not configured but e.g. a local one is used instead, the resulting ics has the mail-address as organizer but the event is not saved in the sogo calendar.

If a person on the same sogo instance and correctly configured Thunderbird (I assume other caldav clients would behave in the same way) tries to accept the invitation, only the generic error message "Processing message failed. Status: 80004005." pops up.

The reason is that sogo responds with 412 (precondition failed) as shown in the screenshot from Thunderbird's developer console.
I assume other caldav clients would behave similarly.

This is inconsistent with the behaviour of the sogo web interface which happily accepts the invitation.

I also attached an ics invite which demonstrates this issue for sogo2 user on https://demo.sogo.nu.

The Thunderbird screenshot stems from an interaction with this instance, the web interface can be tested by attaching the ics invitation to a draft there.

Steps To Reproduce
  • create an invitation with a sogo users mail as "organizer" but the event is not in this users sogo calendar
  • accept the invitation as another user on the same sogo instance
    -> the caldav api returns "412 (precondition failed) " but in the webinterface it just works
