I meant LDAP on Nextcloud side !
The backup feature of OPNsense to Nextcloud doesn't know how to deal with LDAP accounts on Nextcloud, but this is not a problem, I've created a local user on Nextcloud.

Thank you all for for putting so much efforts into helping me, much appreciated :)

So I retried everything to make sure:

- created a dedicated local user "opnsense-backup" on my nextcloud
- logged in as said user, created an app password

- went to OPNsense, checked "enable", user name as previously created user, password as given to me by nextcloud, directory name opnsense-backup

And it works!

But I retried again with my LDAP account and it does not work. I think it is because Nextcloud gives the user a random set of character when you bind it to LDAP such as "A1F54823-801A-4R3D-A2C3-B93657CE5310", which appears in the username column but still you have to login with the login of LDAP. And the folder that has to be accessed with webdav is the random-characters string, not the LDAP fancy username.

Hi Qinohe, sorry for the wrong terminology, I meant what is called the "Backup Directory", which is a subdirectory of the main directory that is the name of the user.

I've followed exactly the steps as described here https://github.com/opnsense/docs/blob/master/source/manual/how-tos/cloud_backup.rst#setup-nextcloud-api-usage but I'm still facing this communication failure :(

Does it matter if the user already exists and is used not only for OPNsense backup? Or it the user is an LDAP account?

No, I've just upgraded mine to v14 and it still works. From your log I think your path is wrong (maybe a subdirectory instead of root?)

Yes I have to specify a subdirectory, which I've created on my user space.

Hello,

I also have trouble creating backups on Nextcloud. Maybe it's due to 14.x version?
