Client certificate configuration is lost and no reconfiguration is triggered

Steps to reproduce

1. Configure (web) server to require client certificate
2. install valid client certificate on Android device
3. install a second "invalid" certificate (so that there is something todo on the "select cert" dialog)
4. start the app, connect to server and select the valid certificate when asked
5. ... wait ... I don't know what triggers the problem, could be an app (or os) update
6. open the app, the application is not connected to the server

this is the first problem. the application is no longer using the certificate and is not able to reach the server.

The follow up problem is that there is no "easy" way to reconnect. the app is not asking for the certificate unless I do the following

1. goto app drawer in the settings
2. kill the app
3. open the app
4. for less than a second a certificate dialog is shown and if you are fast enough you can select the certificate

Expected behaviour

a) the application should not "forget" the configured certificate

b) the "select certificate" dialog should not be closed automatically (or at least give enough time to select and save the selection)

c) it should not be required to kill the app to reconnect

Actual behaviour
