That should only happen if you try to use WebDAV sources which have not
been configured before.

It's unfortunate that the SSL options don't have a good place in the
config hierarchy.

This is the right approach. The key question is if the command from the
second step has configured the "addressbook". If it has, then the third
step should not need to look for databases.

What does "syncevolution --print-config -q @webdav addressbook" say?

Either way, does it work if you combine steps 2 and 3?

syncevolution --configure \
              --template SyncEvolution_Client \
              remoteDeviceId=PN70M9J5V7JX username=admin password=admin \
              sync=two-way \
              databaseUser=admin  \
              databasePassword=admin \
              backend=carddav  \
              database=https://localhost:443/sabredav/addressbookserver.php/addressbooks/admin/  \
              Palm-TH55 at webdav addressbook
