Installation

This app requires the LDAP backend being enabled and configured, since it is a plugin to it. Find it on the app store!

For Nextcloud 16.0.1 and also to use all features in Nextcloud 16, a patch has to be applied accordingly (please replace the path):

cd /path/to/nextcloud
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nextcloud/ldap_write_support/master/utilities/ldap_write_support-v16.0.1.patch
git apply -p1 < /path/to/ldap_write_support-v16.0.1.patch

git is required for applying the patch, because it contains changes in binary files (compiled javascript resources) and the good old patch does not have support for it.

Beware of the dog

• Due to the internal workings of Nextcloud in provisioning users and groups, the user has to meet the LDAP filter criteria upon creation. At this point of time only the username and password are known.
• When creating groups, and empty record of groupOfNames is created.
