Hello,

I use the TbSync add-on to synchronise my contacts between Mozilla Thunderbird and Google Contacts.

TbSync: https://addons.thunderbird.net/en-us/thunderbird/addon/tbsync/ https://addons.thunderbird.net/en-us/thunderbird/addon/tbsync/

The set up procedure is explained here: https://ekiwi-blog.de/en/16081/thunderbird-synchronize-google-contacts-and-calendar-with-tbsync/ https://ekiwi-blog.de/en/16081/thunderbird-synchronize-google-contacts-and-calendar-with-tbsync/

This works fine on my home computer. But on my work computer TbSync fails to get authentication from my Google account. The last stage of this, after providing my Google account credentials, is a window that says:

"Provider for CalDAV & CardDAV wants to access your Google account."

I allow this, but get this error message:

"0Auth 2.0 authentication server returned: http://localhost/interface/login/login.php?site=default".

This is pointing to the login of some unrelated software that I use to keep my patients' medical records.

How can I resolve this?

Many thanks.

If using version 102* then you do not need to use the addon as it is all inclusive in Thunderbird.

Google basically is using OAuth token and it normally opens asking fr password etc to allow Thunderbird as an app access.

To do this it requires access to use 'localhost'.

So if you use eg: Apache or other similar software which uses localhost then you will have to disable it, but only temporarilly. Then set up access to Google. Once the google Oauth token has been created and stored in Password Manager, you can switch the software back on so it continues to use localhost again.
