Feature description

Now that the official NextCloud Android app supports Client Certificates it would be great if this app did too. This would mean when authenticating for the first time and a client certificate is required a system prompt would be show to select which already installed certificate to use.
The certificate used will be remembered by the app and used for all future connections to the same URL.

Why do you want this feature?

Client Certificates are now supported by the NextCloud official Android app allowing an additional layer of security. This means that in order to access a NextCloud instance an additional certificate may be required that is installed on the device. This would allow access to passwords outside of my local network without a VPN via the app in the same way that the NextCloud app now works.

Hello @iDontWantAUsername

I've taken a look at the code needed to do it, and even though it does not look too difficult, I have no environment to test it, so I can't implement it right now. If I have time in the future and I am less busy, I will try to setup a test instance with mTLS to check, but right now I'm unable.

Thank you!

All good, thanks for the update, and your work on the project so far!

It is a nice to have future feature so not essential. Happy to help with some beta testing going forward if required.
