Description
Hi there,
After reinstalling the custom ROM on my mobile device (same ROM, new version) passman alpha stopped working properly. If I recall correctly, it did work just fine before.
The fact is, I can't connect to my NC via HTTPS, HTTP connects just fine.
I have a dockerized NC with and one apache reverse proxy with the Let's Encrypt certs. Usual nextcloud clients and web is working as expected, even other apps like notes, calendars, contacts, etc... just passman fails to connect.
The error it gives is:
Network error: java.security.cert.CertPathValidatorException: Trust anchor for certification path not found.
Don't know how to debug more to give you something to see. By the way, you can see my let's encrypt certificate on https://cloud.docampo.net
Best,
Angel

Research direction
Start by reproducing the HTTPS connection from the Android app against the reported Dockerized Nextcloud and Apache reverse proxy using the Let's Encrypt certificate. Inspect the app's certificate-validation path and compare it with the working HTTP connection and other Nextcloud clients. Done means the app connects successfully over HTTPS without the reported trust-anchor error.
