Insert your config.php content here
(Without the database password, passwordsalt and secret)
Are you using external storage, if yes which one: local/smb/sftp/... no
Are you using encryption: yes/no no (not sure)
Are you using an external user-backend, if yes which one: LDAP/ActiveDirectory/Webdav/... no
With access to your command line run e.g.:
sudo -u www-data php occ ldap:show-config
from within your Nextcloud installation folder
same as previous commands
Without access to your command line download the data/owncloud.db to your local
computer or access your SQL server remotely and run the select query:
SELECT * FROM `oc_appconfig` WHERE `appid` = 'user_ldap';
Eventually replace sensitive data as the name/IP-address of your LDAP server or groups.
