Description
- LDAP is setup as user backend for Nextcloud
- LDAP has rules to expire passwords
- once the expiry date is reached the user is not able to login
- actual: there is no proper error message about this
- expected: it should show the user "Your account is locked" on the next login
This was noticed on an stable11 instance.

Research direction
Start by tracing the LDAP user-backend login path for accounts whose password has expired. Reproduce the behavior on a stable11 instance and inspect the next-login handling. Done means an affected user sees "Your account is locked" instead of no useful error message.
