When receiving a remote share from another server, the username show to the user is the Nextcloud login/ID.
This happens even with a trusted server or a known user (from contacts/lookup server).
This can be complicated to read when using user backend like LDAP, the login/ID is a UUID by default.
Describe the solution you'd like
When a remote share is received, Nextcloud should use a known display name (contacts, trusted servers, lookup server, etc…).

Describe alternatives you've considered
Change the Nextcloud login name in the LDAP backend expert parameters.
This can create collision between user and need to recreate all accounts from scratch.
