Hi,
I have two Owncloud instances. I would like to establish a federated shares between then. SSL is enabled on both instances using Let's encrypt certificates. I've added both servers in the federation section in the admin page. The problem is that both servers are in the yellow state and it never turned to green. Where should I look to debug the problem?
