Releases: nfdi4plants/Swate
Swate leaves the local environment
We have added and improved upon several features of the Swate tool and started hosting Swate on a remote server at https://swate.denbi.uni-tuebingen.de/ with the friendly folks at Uni Thübingen. This eliminates the necessity to install a self-signed certificate and marks an important step on our milestone list to our first release. There may be content security policy specific issues for a few days, so if this release does not work for you, please fall back to the previous one.
As before, if you decide to test Swate in this early state, please take the time to set up a Github account to report your issues and suggestions here.
You can also search existing issues for solutions for your questions and/or discussions about your suggestions.

Here are the necessary steps to use SWATE:
-
Excel (rightfully) enforces https on all addins. We currently have only a self-signed certificate.
This means that you will have to install our certificate underTrusted Root Certification Authorities
. You will need to do this for either of the following methods.
You can find the .cert file in the test release archive.
We recommend you to remove this certificate from your trusted sources when SWATE has an own certificate. -
