Description
I am finding a way to make SSO work in my Windows AD network. Unfortunately all NextCloud accounts has user names which doesn't correlate with the domain user name in Windows AD. Since it is not possible to change user name in NextCloud it would be grate if this app could have a user alias for each account to map SPNEGO domain account name to a local NextCloud account. Example: Windows AD name "john.doe@corp.net" maps to NextCloud account "John".

Research direction
No files or tests are named. Start by tracing the SAML/SPNEGO login identity handling and how it selects a Nextcloud account, then determine where an alias mapping could be configured and verified; done means a Windows AD identity such as "john.doe@corp.net" consistently authenticates as the configured "John" account.
