I have a owncloud account on accname.ocloud.de . On this owncloud account there are 2 users, me and my wife.

I would like to show the calendars of me and my wife in one Thunderbird Calendar view, so using profiles does not solve the problem. I can add the two accounts, the first one works, the second cannot be added as I cannot provide the other user/password combination.

Any solution to this?

each calendar on a properly configured server has a calendar Id. that forms part of the URL/ endpoint.

For instance Google caldav endpoint look like 

https://apidata.googleusercontent.com/caldav/v2/calid/user

the calid in their case is usually the email address. However if you have more than one calendar then they advise what the calendar Id is for each calendar so you can specify the correct endpoint.

Unfortunately this does not solve my problem. I try to describe it in more detail.

I have one owncloud instance called myocloudname.ocloud.de

https://myocloudname.ocloud.de/remote.php/dav/calendars/michi/michis-private/ https://myocloudname.ocloud.de/remote.php/dav/calendars/michi/michis-work/

https://myocloudname.ocloud.de/remote.php/dav/calendars/michiswife/michiswife-cal/


Under this owcloud instance I have two users: michi and michiswife

The user michi has two calendars: michis-private and michs-work These two calendars work, as Thunderbird asks be for user and password for the server "https://myocloudname.ocloud.de" once: so I enter "michi" and his password For michiswife it's a different combination of user and password but Thunderbird does not ask me a second time for user and password, so michiswife calendar does not work.

If I delete michs user and password for the server "https://myocloudname.ocloud.de" from the password manger, Thunderbird asks me again. If I then enter michiswife user and paassword, then michiswife calender works but the other two don't.

To sum it up: the problem is that Thunderbird only asks me for one user/password combination on server "https://myocloudname.ocloud.de". It not differentiate between the two different https://myocloudname.ocloud.de/remote.php/dav/calendars/michi and https://myocloudname.ocloud.de/remote.php/dav/calendars/michiswife accounts on that server.

It that understandable? Any hint how to make this work is highly appreciated. Thanks.
