Steps to reproduce

Delete a shared folder

Expected behaviour

Shared folder should be deleted

Actual behaviour

The user get an error in the gui that the folder could not be deleted

In the nextcloud.log there is this error: "Argument 2 passed to OCA\User_LDAP\Access::searchUsers() must be of the type array or null, string given, called in /var/www/nextcloud/apps/user_ldap/lib/Group_LDAP.php on line 214" (for the full error message have a look at the "Nextcloud Log" section below)

The problem I found in line 214 is that the second Argument "dn" (DN of the LDAP Object) for the function searchUsers() is a string instead of an array: $foundMembers = $this->access->searchUsers($memberUrlFilter, 'dn');

If I change the code in Group_LDAP.php to: +$distname=array("dn"); -$foundMembers = $this->access->searchUsers($memberUrlFilter, 'dn'); +$foundMembers = $this->access->searchUsers($memberUrlFilter, $distname);

the Groupmembers are found and the shared folder can be deleted

The same happens if I try to remove a user from a share.
