Support JWE as a method to encrypt URLs
Currently, Docuware supports a rather .NET specific method for encrypting URLs. We have an application that should retrieve documents from Docuware using URL integration. This application natively supports Java Web Encryption (JWE) to encrypt (parts of) a URL. This is not compatible with the way Docuware expects URLs to be encrypted. Since JWE is a standard (RFC 7516) that is widely used by many applications, I think supporting it could be of real benefit to customers. Ideally, the encryption method should be configurable on the Docuware server.
We had to resort to implementing a URL redirector: this takes a JWE-encrypted URL and rewrites this using the Docuware encryption algorithm and then redirects the (application-internal) browser to the Docuware URL. This introduces an unwanted dependency on a third application that we would really want to eliminate.
