ONLYOFFICE Connector 5.0.0 for Alfresco

Installing ONLYOFFICE and Alfresco module package

The latest compiled package files are available on GitHub. You need the onlyoffice-integration-repo.jar and the onlyoffice-integration-share.jar files. If you plan to compile the ONLYOFFICE and Alfresco module package yourself for some reason (e.g. edit the source code and compile it afterwards), address the developer instruction.

Download compiled packages in the repo and share directories:
```
cd onlyoffice-alfresco/
mvn clean install
```
Upload the compiled *.jar packages to directories accordingly for your Alfresco installation:
- from onlyoffice-alfresco/repo/target/ to the /webapps/alfresco/WEB-INF/lib/ for Alfresco repository.
- from onlyoffice-alfresco/share/target/ to /webapps/share/WEB-INF/lib/ for Share.
(Optional) Edit the alfresco-global.properties file to specify correct hostnames, open ports and protocols as alfresco and share are deployed as two separate services.
```
alfresco.host=<hostname>
alfresco.port=443
alfresco.protocol=https

share.host=<hostname>
share.port=443
share.protocol=https
```

Restart Alfresco

sudo ./alfresco.sh stop
sudo ./alfresco.sh start

Check if the module is present in the list at /share/page/console/admin-console/module-package.

Configuring ONLYOFFICE and Alfresco module package

Go to Alfresco Administration Console. Open http://<alfrescohost>/alfresco/s/onlyoffice/onlyoffice-config and specify the following parameters.

Document Server settings:

Document Editing Service address - specify the URL address where the Document Editing Service is installed.
Specify the secret used to sign the data in the Secret Key field. The secret key is used to validate the JSON web token upon the request to Document Server.
The JWT configuration on the Document Server side can be found here.

The JWT configuration on the ONLYOFFICE Docs side can be found in the following paths:

For Linux - /etc/onlyoffice/documentserver/local.json.

For Windows - %ProgramFiles%\ONLYOFFICE\DocumentServer\config\local.json.

Advanced server settings:

Document Editing Service address for internal requests from the Alfresco server - specify the address that is used to access Document Editing Service from Alfresco server.
Alfresco server address for internal requests from the Document Editing Service - specify the address that is used to access Alfresco server from Document Editing Service.

Common settings:

Ignore SSL Certificate - turns SSL off.
Enable Force Save - enables saving document changes directly to the Alfresco storage after clicking the Save button (if disabled, the document is saved in the document editor's cache until the document is closed).
Save docx, xlsx, pptx as a new version of the original file after conversion - if disabled, a separate file will be created and placed in the same folder.
Open the file for editing - allows administrators to choose the document formats to edit via conversion to OOXML formats.

Connecting to the demo ONLYOFFICE Docs

Starting from ONLYOFFICE connector version 5.0.0, you can try ONLYOFFICE online editors within Alfresco without installing ONLYOFFICE Docs.

This is a public test server that will be available during a 30-day period. Don’t share your sensitive data there.
