Feature request
For now, it's only possible to use the Nextcloud XWiki integration when using simple logins / account handling.
Since the Nextcloud extension on XWiki's side requires setting xwiki.authentication.authclass to org.xwiki.contrib.oidc.provider.OIDCBridgeAuth, using login methods that requires setting xwiki.authentication.authclass to something else won't work. For instance, LDAP, which should be fairly common.
We shall find some way to support other authentication schemes.
initially reported at https://forum.xwiki.org/t/nextcloud-integration-not-working/17599 as a question.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the Nextcloud XWiki integration and how XWiki uses xwiki.authentication.authclass, especially the OIDCBridgeAuth requirement. Determine the authentication schemes that must work, including LDAP, and define completion as successful integration with non-simple login methods.
