I just installed nextcloud v20 on a shared host with ionos. I can access the website and all functionality seems to work. However when setting up the desktop client, I cannot grant access. I am getting a ‘Access Forbidden by server.’ error.
When I look at the logs from the desktop client I see the follow log
