Description
Hi,
I really try hard to realize a single sign on solution using the external app but I don‘t get it.
I want to authorize the user automatically by the nextcloud credentals but how should I?
Is there a workaround?
OAuth2? But how? I need the uid to check, if the user is logged in, but the uid is unsafe in the url parameter, becaus you can change it manually.
Pleas help! I am stuck in this issue and I need it for a learning platform for my school using the nextcloud.
Thank you so much for helping!
Sincerely
Michael

First steps
- Read the whole issue, then the project's contributing guide.
- Comment on the issue to say you are picking it up — it saves two people doing the same work.
- Fork the repository and make your change on a branch.
- Open a pull request that references the issue number.
Research direction
The issue does not identify any repository files, tests, or implementation entry point. First clarify whether the external app should use Nextcloud OAuth2 or another supported SSO flow, and how the authenticated identity must be verified without trusting a URL uid. Done should include an agreed authentication flow and documented success criteria.
