I want to share an observation with this forum. I have the latest OpenKM Docker image running on my NAS. Everything worked as intended with Ubuntu 22.04 and LibreOffice 7.3.X, especially CMIS access to OpenKM. CMIS access was configured as suggested in the OpenKM documentation. OpenKM password stored in LibreOffice and protected with a master password. Everytime I accessed OpenKM with LibreOffice I have been asked for the LibreOffice master password once. Notice that LibreOffice open/save dialogues need to be activated - the system dialogues do not show remote servers.

After updating to Ubuntu 22.10 (and LibreOffice 7.4.X) I was not able to access OpenKM via CMIS - no dialogue to ask for master password appeared. Deinstalling LibreOffice from Ubuntu software center and manually installing with the DEB packages downloadable form LibreOffice website brought back the master password dialogue and CMIS access to OpenKM - both with LibreOffice 7.3.X and 7.4.X.

This behaviour is reproducible (no master password dialogue with LibreOffice installed from Ubuntu software center) - at least for my environment. CMIS access to OpenKM via CMIS CLI worked all the time. From what I can tell is that Ubuntu software center does not install a snap package of LibreOffice.

Did anybody make the same observation? Any thoughts on that?

If not I hope I could help somebody else with the same problem.
