Bug description

My server has Nextcloud configured to the LLDAP server for managing accounts and groups. I configure the LDAP app in Nextcloud via occ from a systemd service. The relevant parts of it:

      ${occ} ldap:set-config s01 ldapUserDisplayName "displayName"
      ${occ} ldap:set-config s01 ldapQuotaAttribute "${quotaAttribute}"
      ${occ} ldap:set-config s01 ldapQuotaDefault "${defaultQuota}"

Separately:

  defaultQuota = "500 GB";
  quotaAttribute = "nextcloudQuota";

I can verify on the web UI that all the LDAP app parameters get set correctly by my script.
When a user in LLDAP has username, email and display name, everything works correctly, the default quota shown by default, and if I change the nextcloudQuota parameter, it will get propagated in Nextcloud.

However, if a user has username and email but NO display name, then the user will have none (Unlimited) as their quota value. So it doesn't get the configured value or the default value either. Having no display name prevents quota and possibly more properties being synced.

Steps to reproduce

1. Set up LDAP server (eg. LLDAP)
2. Set up Nextcloud with LDAP app configured, with default LDAP quota and LDAP quota attribute correctly set
3. Create user in LLDAP, don't set display name
4. Set quota from LLDAP

Expected behavior

User has first the default quota then the quota set via LDAP
