Password change went well except dav services no longer work

Steps to reproduce

  1. change password
  2. login OK with owncloud client
  3. observe that dav-related services don’t work

Expected behaviour

Tell us what should happen
I give my new password to the client connecting to the server. It should connect just like the owncloud client itself connects just fine.

Actual behaviour

Tell us what happens instead
No other devices (like my email client, phone) can connect to the Contacts or Calendar applications. I removed and reinstalled those apps and they work in the web interface but not when I try to set the new password on the email client or phone. They get a 401 unauthorized.
