thanks for your contribution @msfuture I'll take a closer look at it as soon as I find the time to do so...

By the way: I'm already testing this type of authentication with about 400 accounts involved. No errors and automatical group assignment made life so much easier for my colleagues.

There is a wrapper for Guzzle and Curl: IClient (and IClientService as factory`). An advantage is that a proxy configuration (at config.php) is automatically used.

thanks for the hint @kesselb ! so that should definitely be used (also by the other backends)... @msfuture could you take a look at this? https://github.com/nextcloud/server/blob/master/lib/private/Http/Client/Client.php
