Vaultwarden Build Version

v1.34.3

Deployment method

Other method

Custom deployment method

using Vaultwarden via uberspace.de:
https://lab.uberspace.de/guide_vaultwarden/#vaultwarden

Reverse Proxy

Uberspace

Host/Server Operating System

Linux

Operating System Version

CentOS

Clients

Web Vault

Client Version

Issue is independent on client - does happen also via web-vault

Steps To Reproduce

Create an attachment within Bitwarden App for an vault entry
save it
it is uploaded to vault web
download is not possible

Expected Result

download is possible

Actual Result

giving an error message when downloading the attachment

Logs

Screenshots or Videos

No response

Additional Context

When I "enable" Admin Interface then I can download the attachments without any issues (via web vault or desktop app and so on).

When I "disable" Admin Interface the download is not possible and is giving me an error message.

As this is different than other issues correlated to attachments download I created a new issue. Hope this is ok.
