Hi guys

I am new to Nextcloud, successfully installed, it works fine. well at my place there is a mail client (zimbra) which is integrated with Ldap freeradius installed by my former boss. now HOW do I configure Nextcloud to be integrated with Zimbra or ldap freeradius so that users on zimbra or ldap freeradius can log into Nextcloud???
i have zero knowledge about Ldap freeradius and zimbra.

Nextcloud version 20.0.2
Operating system and version ubuntu 18.04
PHP version php7.2

nextcloud server 192.168.19.61/nextcloud
mail server (zimbra) 101.62.9.134
freeradius server 192.168.222.8

can you guys give me references or just tell me what i have to do. thanks in advance

You should be able to configure ldap user authentication with this.

Not really a solution:

But if you try to find a solution with other zimbra users, it would be great to share a tutorial…

owncloud and Nextcloud shared the same code some years ago, so some inspiration might be helpful from this side as well:

github.com

Zimbra-Community/owncloud-zimlet/blob/soapServiceBarry/wiki/Connect ownCloud to Zimbra LDAP for accounts and credentials.md

# Connect ownCloud to Zimbra LDAP for accounts and credentials

This wiki pages describes how to connect ownCloud to Zimbra LDAP, so user accounts and credentials from Zimbra are used in ownCloud. So you only need to maintain accounts on one service.

## Find the LDAP bind user on Zimbra

      https://wiki.zimbra.com/wiki/Ajcody-Server-Topics#LDAP_Topics
      zimbra$ source ~/bin/zmshutil 
      zimbra$ zmsetvars 
      echo $zimbra_ldap_password
      echo $zimbra_ldap_userdn
      ldapsearch -x -H $ldap_master_url -D $zimbra_ldap_userdn -w $zimbra_ldap_password "mail=admin*"

## Enable ownCloud LDAP app

      Server:         your server ip
      Port:           389
      Bind DN:        uid=zimbra,cn=admins,cn=zimbra [from above]
      Bind Password:  [from above]
      Users DN:       ou=people,dc=example,dc=com
