Description
Summary
I want to be able to select certificates to be used for IdP and SP from a directory on the host.
For example, have a /certs directory where Nextcloud will look for certs and allow the user to choose which to use.
Use case
I am hosting nextcloud as part of a kubernetes cluster, I need this so I can mount a certs directory into the Nextcloud container, set Nextcloud to use them, and periodically replace the certs when they expire, without having to reconfigure the SAML settings in Nextcloud.

Start by tracing the current IdP and SP certificate configuration entry points and how certificate values are stored and loaded. Define the filesystem directory and selection behavior, then verify that mounted certificates can be replaced and used without reconfiguring SAML settings.
