# Nextcloud integration
- Based on [this plugin](https://github.com/nextcloud/user_external)
- Install that plugin via web
- Connect to server, enter nextcloud-docker-image: `docker exec -it nextcloud-aio-nextcloud bash`
- Adapt `/var/www/html/custom_apps/user_external/lib/BasicAuth.php` to switch from BasicAuth to RowtAuth:
```php

namespace OCA\UserExternal;
class BasicAuth extends Base {
private $authUrl;
public function __construct($authUrl) {
parent::__construct($authUrl);
$this->authUrl = $authUrl;
}
/**
* Check if the password is correct without logging in the user
*
* @param string $uid The username
* @param string $password The password
*
* @return true/false
*/
public function checkPassword($uid, $password) {
// Prepare POST data with credentials
$postData = http_build_query([
'name' => $uid,
'password' => $password
]);
// Create context with POST method
$context = stream_context_create([
'http' => [
'method' => 'POST',
'header' => 'Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded',
'content' => $postData,
'follow_location' => 0
]
]);
// Get the content of the response
$content = @file_get_contents($this->authUrl, false, $context);
if ($content === false) {
\OC::$server->getLogger()->error(
'ERROR: Failed to get content from Auth Url: '.$this->authUrl,
['app' => 'user_external']
);
return false;
}
// Check if the content is "SUCC"
if (trim($content) === "SUCC") {
$this->storeUser($uid);
return $uid;
}
return false;
}
}
```
- In `/var/www/html/config/config.php` add this:
```
'user_backends' =>
array (
0 =>
array (
'class' => '\\OCA\\UserExternal\\BasicAuth',
'arguments' =>
array (
0 => 'https://app.rudernlinz.at/nxauth',
),
),
),
```
- In `/var/www/html/config/config.php` add this `'skeletondirectory' => '',` to disable default folders for new users
- To automatically add users to a group (e.g. `vorstand`), use the `Auto Groups` plugin
- Shared folders are not shared with new members due to [this bug](https://github.com/nextcloud/server/issues/25062#issuecomment-766445043)
- Find DB config: `docker exec nextcloud-aio-database env | grep POSTGRES`
- Workaround: Connect to docker-db: `docker exec -it nextcloud-aio-database bash`
- Connect to db: `psql -U nextcloud -d nextcloud_database`
- (with `\l` you see all dbs)
- Connect to nextcloud db: `\c nextcloud_database`
- Do query from issue: `UPDATE oc_share SET accepted = 1 WHERE share_type = 1;`
