Description
I'm currently trying to implement Nextcloud SSO for DAVx5. I can call the account picker, which successfully returns a SingleSignOnAccount with userId and token.
However, this token doesn't seem to work as app-password (= Basic <userId>:<token>) nor as access token (Authorization: Bearer <token>).
I don't want to use the SSO network methods because DAVx5 has its own network stack with very specific requirements.
Should the token be usable as app-password/access token or is there some way to get working HTTP credentials from the SSO library?

Research direction
Start with the SingleSignOnAccount returned by the account picker and trace how its userId and token are intended to be used. Compare the reported Basic app-password and Bearer authentication attempts with the SSO library's exposed credentials or network methods. Done means determining whether reusable WebDAV HTTP credentials are supported or documenting the required integration path.
