**⚠⚠ Warning:** If you are using more than one backend or especially one backend more often than once, make sure that you still have resp. get unique `uid`s in the database. ⚠⚠
**⚠⚠ Warning:** If you are using tools like fail2ban (https://www.fail2ban.org) to protect your authentication source (e.g. IMAP server), be sure to disable it for the host that runs `user_external`. Otherwise a single user failing to login too many times can practically DoS your whole Nextcloud installation because `fail2ban` will then block the Nextcloud IP address. ⚠⚠
Instead, make sure the bruteforce protection app for Nextcloud is installed and configured correctly.
