Known Issues
- KOA-424: Permissions must be set on the ktoffice folder
- KOA-412: When attempting to re-open the panel after closing a previous session, the KnowledgeTree button does not activate the panel on the first click.
- KOA-386: A fatal error occurs when the Refresh button is repeatedly pressed.
- KOA-395: SSL Connection (https) and Security Certificates
SSL client/server connections (e.g using 'https:..') require a signed SSL certificate. Self-signed certificates should not be used in environments where server authenticity and the security of user connections to the server are important, and in this case you should obtain a certificate from a commercial Certificate Authority, which allows you to verify the authenticity of the server's certificate.
Using a self-signed certificate for an SSL connection to KnowledgeTree through KnowledgeTree Office Add-in triggers a Microsoft Security Alert. You may either click through the warning to connect to KnowledgeTree using the unrecognized SSL certificate, or cancel the connection until you can obtain a recognized certificate. Note: The KnowledgeTree Installer automatically generates a temporary, self-signed certificate for the KnowledgeTree server when installing KnowledgeTree with SSL support.
In Microsoft Internet Explorer 7, when proceeding with the connection, you need to accept a second security notice before a connection to KnowledgeTree may be established.
When canceling connections at security messages (in IE7 or in IE6), a bug in the beta version of the KnowledgeTree Office Add-in results in the panel reloading a bit slower than necessary; then, when the panel resets, the default server details no longer display. You need to manually re-enter the server address, or close Microsoft Office and then re-open the application to auto-populate the connection details.
