Description

I connected my iPhone to a public Wifi, which triggered the invalid server certificate message on my phone because it responded with its own certificate before I went through the Wifi's internal login process. I looked at the wrong certificate in the app and it was for the domain of the airport I was at.
This logged out my Nextcloud and after I logged back in, all my offline data was gone.
Is this expected behaviour?

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by reproducing the invalid-certificate flow on iOS, then trace what happens to the login session and offline data after reauthentication. Done means the expected behavior is established and the reported data loss is either prevented or covered by a focused regression test.
