LDAP users cannot access calendars shared with LDAP group from CalDAV clients? #6374

Description

@tromlet

Steps to reproduce

  1. Create a calendar.
  2. Share it with an LDAP group.
  3. Connect to it using EITHER the internal or external share links, and an LDAP user's credentials.

Expected behavior

The user should either be able to see the calendar, or be denied from seeing the calendar, based on their LDAP group membership and the LDAP group permissions settings of the calendar. Additionally, a user's access to the calendar (read-only vs. able to create and edit events) should be determined based on the nature of the permissions granted to them via the LDAP group permissions settings granted in Nextcloud.

Actual behaviour

In Mozilla Thunderbird, with the internal share link, users are unable to use their LDAP credentials to access those calendars, they get an error message:

Could not find calendars at this location. Please check your settings.

The EXTERNAL share link, however, seems to work, although then the calendar it finds is named something ridiculous. For example, instead of "Sales", it's discovered as "uKQXwOxjRfTd", which is... entirely unhelpful. No events show up.
