I've been using OpenKM CE for some years - generally as a repository for PDF documents. But I'd now like to start putting live Word/Excel documents in there as well. I am not able to get the Office add-on to connect to my instance.

I've installed plugin version 6.1.2 (as per the compatibility matrix at https://docs.openkm.com/kcenter/view/microsoft-addin/). I notice that the matrix only specifies OKM CE 6.3.2 to 6.3.8. Does imply that 6.3.11 is not compatible?

Assuming that the version range is an out-dated matrix, can someone help me identify the cause of my issue?

When attempting to do a test connect, I simply get "Connect test failed!!!"
If I save the configuration anyway and try to edit a document, I get a javastack error, with "The request was aborted: Could not create SSL/TLS secure channel"

I am running OpenKM CE 6.3.11 on a self-hosted Debian server. It is front-ended by apache2, with the relevant config snippet below. HTTP requests redirect to HTTPS.

The ServerName aaa.yyy.com refers to the real server name, which only resolves on my local network.
The ServerAlia bbb.yyy.com refers to a public DNS endpoint to my router, which forwards 80 and 443 to aaa.yyy.com.

On my internal network, accessing both https://aaa/OpenKM and https://bbb/OpenKM via a browser work fine.
Through the Word addon config, selecting either WebServices 2.0, 1.0 or com6.0 all end in the same error.
Code: Select all
<VirtualHost *:443>
        ServerName aaa.yyy.com
        ServerAlias bbb.yyy.com

        ProxyPass /OpenKM ajp://127.0.0.1:8009/OpenKM
        ProxyPassReverse /OpenKM https://bbb.yyy.com /OpenKM
