accountsd (CFNetwork) - Spamming console

Hello everyone, my console is getting spammed by 3 errors and I'm hoping you can help me track down why I'm getting so many of these errors. I get 3-4 of these errors every second. If I kill the process accountsd it stops for a while till it restarts then goes up again.

error	17:18:24.087519 -0700	accountsd	TIC TCP Conn Failed [893:0x7f8db65368a0]: 12:8 Err(-65554)
error	17:18:24.087979 -0700	accountsd	HTTP load failed (error code: -1003 [12:8])
error	17:18:24.088077 -0700	accountsd	NSURLSessionTask finished with error - code: -1003

iMac, macOS Sierra (10.12)

Unfortunately this seems to be a community discussion and not a bug and changerequest database.
The above bug needs a fix for daily work with the addressbook and an owncloud server to work. Is there already an official bug report? As of 2017-03 the problem seems to persist.

I have similar error messages when the contacts app tries to sync with a carddav account (owncloud 9).

This error started to occur after upgrading from Mac OS 10.11 to 10.12 (sierra).

I had a similar problem when trying to use ownCloud 9 with Calendar (calDAV).

Op does not say if ownCloud is in use.

@chako you may want to head over to the ownCloud ocServer forum if your client is "Unable to verify ..."

My experience is that 10.12 is now using different ports in some case. The op may have some other app trying to connect using a port that is not being listened to. As long as the app keeps trying the accounts daemon will oblige.

Thanks for the reply, OC-Carl

I do not have the "unable to verify account name or password" message in the console output. I have checked the OC forum and people seem to discuss quite similar problems there.

The problem that I have seems to be completely on the client side (Macbook) as I do not see any access/request entries from my Macbook in the apache logs while caldav works without problems on both Macbook and iPhone (and carddav also works on the iPhone). As I configured a custom port I hope that there is no issue with different defaults ports which 10.12 might be using.

So, I'm not really sure what was causing the issue. I reinstalled Office and a number of other things and it seems to have resolved itself. Previously I was having a ton of issues with outlook so performed a reinstall and also had to rebuild my spotlight index for my outlook mail folder. I also had to restore my outlook profile because when I rebuilt my computer it was not restored correctly.

Sorry, not much help I guess since I don't know what exactly I did to resolve the issue.

It seems that the accountsd indeed has a bug when adding a CardDAV account: Regardless of the "Port" and "Use SSL" settings in the extended settings dialog, the connection is always made to port 8843 using SSL. I have changed my owncloud server port and SSL configuration accordingly, and now the CardDAV account can be added. However, I do not see any contacts, that is probably something for https://central.owncloud.org/t/owncloud-9-1-1-1-2-macos-sierra-carddav-not-worki ng/3481
