DocuWare allows you to embed elements such as web forms or result lists into your web applications. Soon, any connected to DocuWare Cloud must be registered for security purposes, requiring action from your administrator.
Security is a foundational topic for DocuWare. And for DocuWare Cloud, security is an essential part of our service. To ensure that our high security standards continue to be met, we are tightening the security guidelines for integrating DocuWare elements such as web forms, result lists or search dialogs into third-party web applications.

What exactly is changing?
DocuWare is changing the CORS policy (Cross-Origin Resource Sharing), i.e. the security guidelines for loading web applications into foreign domains, for DocuWare Cloud on September 1, 2025. All foreign domains or web applications into which DocuWare elements are to be loaded must be entered in the new “Central Gateway Settings” configuration module by then at the latest to ensure that integrations continue to function as usual.
Who is affected?
All customers who integrate elements of DocuWare Cloud into web applications. Examples include:
- A DocuWare form that is embedded in a website via iFrame.
- A list of results that is embedded in a website as an iFrame via URL integration link.
What needs to be done?
Affected customers must enter the addresses of the corresponding websites in the new configuration module “Central Gateway Settings” by August 31, 2025, at the latest, so that integrations will work as usual. This module is located within the DocuWare configuration in the General area.
Enter the domains into which DocuWare Cloud elements are to be loaded.
What will happen after September 1, 2025?
In non-registered domains, DocuWare Cloud elements will no longer be loaded, so they will no longer be visible on corresponding websites.
