Nextcloud user-logins from different database

Hello,

I have set up an instance from Nextcloud 12 and i really like it.
Now I want to use it on my server, on which i also have multiple other services with logins. I have an extra table for users and their password-hashes. All different systems use this data for user authentication. I would like to setup Nextcloud to use this user-table, too. Is this possible, and if yes, how?

Thank you for your help,
nemo

If I understand correctly, you want Nextcloud to authenticate against your custom user database? It sounds like you’ll need to write a custom Nextcloud app for that.
I would start here: https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/12/developer_manual/app/index.html and also look at this: https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/12/admin_manual/configuration_user/user_auth_ftp_smb_imap.html
