We have OwnCloud 10.0.1 installed with UMC. I am stuck with email connection with our MS Exchange 2010 server. Our server supports AUTH GSSAPI NTLM and we are getting "The BCMath functions must be enabled to use the NTLM authenticator" message with auth metod NT Lan Manager enabled. 
Is there any way or we need to find other solution?

Im experiencing the exact same problem. From what I can see the BC Math functions are installed. Any suggestions wrt to how to “enable” them.

First make sure it really is installed:

root@ubuntu1804:~# dpkg -l | grep bcmath
ii  php7.1-bcmath                         7.1.33-1+ubuntu18.04.1+deb.sury.org+1                    amd64        Bcmath module for PHP

Create a phpinfo page and search for “bcmath” in it. If you can find it, it should look something like this:

This means it is already installed correctly.

Otherwise you will have to run (on a Debian/Ubuntu system) phpenmod bcmath, or look up how to do the equivalent on your distribution. Don’t forget to restart apache afterwards.

I just found out that the phpenmod command doesn’t work if you have multiple versions of PHP installed.
So then you would have to create a symlink from /etc/php/<your PHP version>/apache2/conf.d/20-bcmath.ini to /etc/php/<your PHP version>/mods-available/bcmath.ini manually
