Description

Actual behaviour

App displays Federated-Cloud-ID by putting together entered username and host (= @).

Expected behaviour

Because I've set up a login backend based on user_external, my actual username and the entered username, thus the local-part of my Federated-Cloud-ID, differ. The app should request the actual username or Federated-Cloud-ID (as it's displayed on the Personal-tab in the web interface) from the server.

Environment data

Nextcloud app version: 1.2.0 RC1
Nextcloud server version: 9.0.53.0

Research direction

Start by reviewing the user_external backend linked in the issue and the server data shown on the Personal tab. Trace how the app obtains the Federated-Cloud-ID and whether an endpoint exposes the actual username. Done means the app uses that server-provided identity instead of composing the ID from the entered username and host.
