How to configure the integration

To configure the connector, go to Admin -> ONLYOFFICE -> ONLYOFFICE Settings. Specify the following parameters:

• Document Editing Service Address. Enter the name of the ONLYOFFICE Docs server installed or the address of ONLYOFFICE Docs Cloud.
• Secret key. Starting from version 7.2 of ONLYOFFICE Docs, JWT is enabled by default, and the secret key is generated automatically to restrict access to the editors and for security reasons and data integrity. If necessary, you can specify your own Secret key. In this case, specify the same Secret key in the ONLYOFFICE Docs config file to enable the validation.
• Authorization header.
