Test case -- using GNU/LInux Debian with Apache OpenOffice 4.1.0 RC3:


Follow instructions to create PKCS12 file (works on GNU/Linux, as well):

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/20445365/create-pkcs12-file-with-self-signed-certificate-via-openssl-in-windows-for-my-a

Import the self signed-certificate into Iceweasel (Firefox): Edit -->
Preferences --> Certificates --> View Certificates --> Import -->
(select file location)

Close ApacheOO 4.1.0 RC3, if open.

As explained at (< https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Certificate_Detection >),

at the Bash prompt type:

export MOZILLA_CERTIFICATE_FOLDER=~/.mozilla/firefox/<here put your
user profile>

Subsequently -- from the same environment -- type command apacheoo

----------------------------------Assumed Setup
-----------------------------------------------------

ApacheOO unpacks itself on /opt/openoffice4/

Accordingly (as root) it is necessary to create a symlink to start the
application from the command line:

ln -s /opt/openoffice4/program/soffice  /usr/bin/apacheoo

cd /opt/openoffice4/program/

ln -s soffice.bin apacheoo.bin

This way any user in a GNU/Linux environment can start its
/usr/bin/apacheoo instance from the Bash command.
