LDAP/AD feature for login users with webdav

Hi,

By default LDAP use objectGUID to create users in nextcloud.
Seems perfect but there’s some problems to connect users in Enterprise mode with A.D.

Can’t map autologon with %username% (in Active Directory).

So it should be very usefull to allow logons on webdav with : https://url/remote.php/dav/files/%username%/ equal to (https://url/remote.php/dav/files/uid/)

Actually you can only connect with: https://url/remote.php/dav/files/objectGUID/ as you can’t use something like %username% to use the objectGUID in GPO in Active Directory

Thanks you

You can change the user ID on your NC LDAP configuration to use sAMAccountName instead.

Sure, like the screen below in expert config.
But why not having like in WEB mode the same AUTH method for WEBDAV ? You can login in web by default with samaccountname.
Indeed changing the default behaviour is not recommanded in case of accounts renamed.
