Description
Steps to reproduce
- Configure a SAML Endpoint (in my case it's keycloak)
- Try to connect Nextcloud with KOrganizer or other caldav clients.
Expected behaviour
In Nextcloud Client there is a new Popup with the Keycloak login page. Something like this should also work in other tools
Actual behaviour
401 Not Authorized
Its clear because Nextcloud did not have any credentials of the user.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the SAML setup with KOrganizer or another CalDAV client and compare it with the Nextcloud Client login flow. Trace the authentication request that results in 401 Not Authorized; done means supported CalDAV clients can authenticate through the configured SAML endpoint instead of receiving 401.
