That sounds like a configuration issue that your calendar server is
not liking the authentication that evolution sent. We would need to
know
1. what the calendar server you are trying to use
2. what the configuration and how you authenticate
3. what the error on the server side is.

Flatpacks are sandboxes to make sure that the rest of your account is
secure from each other https://xkcd.com/1200/ . You have to configure
what applications you want to be able to talk to your smart card or
yubikey because just allowing anything to talk to them just leads to
the xkcd.

That said, I do not know how to do this. My systems are pre-flatpak so
I have not dealt with this.

Ouch. That should be reported to the flatpak place you got that from.
Those aren't created by centos.org so I am guessing gnome or
flatpak.org ?
