Description
Hi,
I've an owncloud 5.0 server with https connection. I open by NAT the web connection from internet and protect the access with a certificate (on Apache 2). Therefore, to access to my owncloud I use https and a certifcate generate from my server. All work fine from web navigator (IE, Chrome, Firefox,...) when I configure the certificate (pfx, for example).
If I try to configure the android client to my server, not setting the certificate is available and the error appear: "Failed the inicialization SSL" (sorry I translate from Spanish message).
Is possible use a own certificate (.pfx or .crt) to use in the https connection?? (from the android client).
Regards,
Akirasan

Research direction
Start by reproducing the Android client's SSL initialization failure against an ownCloud 5.0 HTTPS server configured with a client certificate. Determine how the client could accept a .pfx or .crt certificate for HTTPS authentication; done means the certificate can be configured and the connection succeeds.
