LDAP Home Folder Mapping

[DaGingi]

Hi there,
I've been working on some stuff to get some solid remote access to files in our windows server environment, I've had LDAP setup on nextcloud for a while now and have mapped users home folders as external storage which is not only a time consuming process its also not very ideal as people have to actually save stuff to their external storage folder. It would be nice if there was a feature to automatically map a users home folder in LDAP to the home folder on nextcloud, so that it's transparent to the user where their stuff is being stored.
Thanks!

This...... this would be so nice.

This could also provide the basis to set common home folders for multiple users...? https://help.nextcloud.com/t/share-users-main-directory/8202

Hey guys, this feature request is exactly what I need for the environment I am setting up. It looks like no one has picked this up yet. If I had more knowledge of the code base I would be willing to help out a more senior developer in working on this feature, but alas I do not (having just recently discovered this wonderful tool). If anyone has been toying around with this idea I would be interested to see if we can get some traction on this project.
Thanks!
