Hello everyone! After updating Collabora to the latest version, I can’t open a file .ods in Nextcloud Office. It was created in LibreOffice Calc 25.2.3.2 and saved with a password. The file opens without the password.
LOKit version: Collabora Office 25.04.7.1(git hash: 746c675659)
Served by: Ubuntu 22.04.5 LTS
WOPI host: nextcloud 31.0.10.2 - richdocuments 8.7.6
LibrеОffice 25.2.3.2
Can I fix this myself?
Hi @hippelalex
You have a few options:
1. Re-save the file in LibreOffice with older encryption (works now)
In LibreOffice:
File → Save As → ODF 1.3 Extended → disable “Use stronger encryption”, if shown.
Or simply remove the password → save → reopen → re-add password.
This forces older encryption that Collabora can handle.
2. Update to the newest Collabora build
If Collabora Online hasn’t yet integrated support for the new LO 25.2 encryption, you must wait for a newer COOL version.
But check if you’re using CODE (community) or Collabora Online (enterprise). CODE lags slightly.
3. Use unencrypted files for now
Until Collabora updates support for the new encryption method.
Thanks
Darshan
