Chapter 7 — Contacts

7.4 Contact Synchronization (CardDAV)

Download article

CardDAV synchronizes your LightDrive contacts with compatible applications. Open Settings → Security → App & device access, name the app or device, and create a LightDrive client password that includes Contacts. Choose Contacts only for a contacts-only app, or include Email and/or Calendars if that app needs them. Copy the value when LightDrive displays it; the value is shown only once.

  • Address book URL: https://dav.lightdrive.one/USERNAME/contacts/
  • Username: your full [email protected] address; your bare LightDrive ID is also accepted
  • Password: a LightDrive client password that includes Contacts

Replace USERNAME in the URL with your LightDrive ID, using the same spelling and capitalization as your account. Enter the HTTPS address exactly and keep certificate verification enabled.

Your main Vault password, a Vault app password, and an Email-only password do not authenticate to CardDAV. Create a separate credential for each client so one can be revoked without interrupting the others.

CardDAV synchronizes contacts only. Configure CalDAV separately for calendars and IMAP/SMTP separately for email.
