Documentation for SSO unclear

[akloster]

According to Release Notes, NextCloud should support authentication via environment variables like with AuthType Basic. It is not quite clear how to actually do that.

This documentation page:
https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/12/admin_manual/configuration_server/sso_configuration.html#configuring-environment-based-authentication

does not exist for NextCloud 13 and 14. It's also not clear to me where I can "choose the “Environment variable” authentication provider in the application and then specify the environment variable. (e.g. REMOTE_USER for Kerberos)".

GitMate.io thinks possibly related issues are #8330 (Nextcloud Documentation Issue), #52 (Get own documentation up and running), #4645 (Build documentation for 12), #9477 ([documentation] occ log:file), and #8724 (nextcloud support crowd sso?).

I have the same problem. I saw this issue --> nextcloud/user_saml#109 where the user states the following "But when I click on "Use environment variable" in Admin --> SSO & SAML authentication...." . In NC14 SSO & SAML authenticaiton I cannot see this option at all. I further tried basic authentication and it worked one some requests but wouldn't on others.

This should be clarified in the documentation...
