Description

In general we should make sure to have test cases where the home directory name doesn't match the user id or where the path is different. For example OC data folder is "/var/www/owncloud/data" but the home directory as dictated by LDAP is "/var/ocdata/$userId".

This is important because many bugs are not detectable when the userid matches the folder name, like https://github.com/owncloud/core/pull/26820

Research direction

No files or test entry points are named. Locate the existing LDAP and encryption test coverage in the ownCloud QA repository, then run the relevant tests with a user ID that differs from the home-directory name and with a different data path. Done means those scenarios are covered by test cases.
