I had this problem while doing a course on Udemy by Martin Bergljung.

The question here is old but it happened to me with Office 2016 and Alfresco 5.2, so I'm posting the solution that worked for me.

In short, to solve the issue and be able to test within your computer, you require to add the certificate from Alfresco in your Mac, to do so, enter the HTTPS address you have (in my case, https://localhost:8443/share/ ), using SAFARI browser.

It will complain about the certificate validity, just agree with the warning and select the option "install" and trust for localhost. That's it, after that, the file will open straight from Alfresco into MS Office.

You can go later on to Keychain Access utility (Applications -> Utilities) and do further adjustments if you need them.
