Description

Hi Nextcloud Team,

for quite some time OpenLDAP is supporting dynamic groups like the groupOfURLs.
It looks like currently it is required that the group is a posixGroup or a groupOfNames.

Would be great if you consider to allow the usage of groupOfURLs as well.

Best regards
Christoph

Research direction

Start by locating the LDAP group-membership handling that currently accepts posixGroup and groupOfNames, then review how OpenLDAP represents groupOfURLs. Confirm the expected URL-based membership behavior and add coverage showing that groupOfURLs groups are accepted and resolved correctly.
