Behavior:
Microsoft Edge cannot establish a connection to DocuWare Desktop.
Solution:
There are several reasons that might cause such an issue. Please refer to the following solutions:
- Install all available Updates for Microsoft Edge:
Ensure that your Microsoft Edge is operating on the latest version.
- DocuWare Desktop App or Desktop App Service is not started:
This behavior can occur when either the Desktop Apps or the Desktop Apps Service has failed to start. To address this issue, the Desktop Apps and/or the Desktop Apps Service must be restarted.
Please refer to Installing and Connecting Desktop Apps for more on Desktop Apps and how to restart these software components.
- Content within the browser cache:
In some instances, browser cache history can prevent DocuWare Desktop Apps from establishing a connection. Please delete the browser cache and cookies, then reattempt to utilize DocuWare Desktop Apps.
- DocuWare Client is hosted using a self-signed SSL certificate:
The root certificate has to be imported to the Microsoft Certificate Store.
- DocuWare Settings Service is not working properly (On-premise Only):
If the prior solutions failed to resolve the described behavior, this may indicate that the DocuWare Service Settings are not working as intended.
KBA is applicable for Cloud and On-premise Organizations.
