Description

Title

Support t mTLS certificates for Termix mobile clients

Platform

Mobile app (iOS, Android)

Is it related to an issue?

I protected my Termix instance with mTLS certificate. This works fine when accessing the instance using a browser (i.e. termix.example.com). I get prompted for the certificate before access is allowed. When using Termix Android app access fails. There is no opportunity to present the certificate. It would be great if this could be enabled in the mobile client.

The Solution

Enable mTLS functionality in the Termix mobile app.

Additional Context

Some open source android apps that support mTLS are Home Assistant, Bitwarden and Immich. I thought it might be a useful reference for potential implementation details.

Research direction

The issue identifies the iOS and Android mobile clients but no repository files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the mobile clients' connection and authentication paths, and review the cited Home Assistant, Bitwarden, and Immich implementations. Done means both platforms can present a client certificate and connect to an mTLS-protected Termix instance.
