KM login prompt when saving

I have a normal KM Navigation iView watching a KM folder path. This folder has an excel file in it. When the end user clicks the excel file, it prompts to Open, Save or Cancel as normal. Choosing Save works as expected. Choosing Open works as expected. After it opens, if I choose Save As from the File menu of IE, I get prompted for a login. Why is this? If I choose Cancel on the login (twice), it then gives me the ability to save. How can I prevent this login screen?
We use Windows based auth with AD.
Thanks!

Hi,
Excel isn't authenticated on the portal, therefor it gives the logon message.
Open means: IE downloads the file in the tmp folder and calls Excel. Excel will open the tmp version and not the online version. Clicking on Save, Excel wants to store the file on the original location (portal). To do so, you'll need to logon.

Tobias

SP2010 - Documents migrated from different farm cause login prompts when opening..

We have 3 SharePoint farms (Dev/Test/Prod) and we migrated Word documents between them a couple of different ways.. AvePoint's DocAve, copy from Explorer view of the two farms and Download/Upload.
The documents were originally created on the development farm.
When we open documents in the production farm, the user is prompted with a login box to login to the development farm. New documents created in the production farm don't prompt.
Anyone know where / what information is being stored in the document that would reference the old farm? and how to clear it?

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that documents migrated from different farm cause login prompts when opening.
I try to reproduce the issue, however, everything works well.
I recommend as below:
Open the site in the browner, click tool->Compatibility View Setting->Add the site to be displayed in Compatibility View.
Click Tool->Internet Options->Security->Trusted Sites.
Click Tool->Internet Options->Security->Restricted sites->Allowed level for this zone: Medium.
Modify your registry settings for the WebClient service.
Go to the file's properties > Security > Advanced > and Inherit the permissions.

Avoid Database Login prompt when using CrystalReportViewer

Is there a way to keep the Database Login prompt from coming up when using Crystal Reports runtime 2008 SP2? I'm using that plus Visual Studio 2008 to develop a Windows Form application to view reports on a client machine that accesses data on a seperate SQL Server 2005 machine. My customer would like to avoid having users manually enter anything everytime a report is opened with the Crystal Reports viewer.
I've used the following code with ODBC and OLE DB report connections. When I use ODBC, the prompt comes up with Integrated Security checked which must be cleared. When I use OLE DB, the prompt comes up with Database Name blank and greyed out so I cannot manually enter it.
Am I missing something here?
Imports CrystalDecisions.Shared
Imports CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine
Imports CrystalDecisions.Windows.Forms
Public Class Form1
    Private Sub setDatabaseLogon(ByVal myConnectionInfo As ConnectionInfo)
        Dim logOnInfos As TableLogOnInfos = CrystalReportViewer1.LogOnInfo
        For Each logOnInfo As TableLogOnInfo In logOnInfos
            logOnInfo.ConnectionInfo = myConnectionInfo
        Nex
    End Sub
    Private Sub ConfigureCrystalReports()
        Dim myConnectionInfo As ConnectionInfo = New ConnectionInfo()
        setDatabaseLogon(myConnectionInfo)
        myConnectionInfo.DatabaseName = "ClearView"
        myConnectionInfo.UserID = "reports"
        myConnectionInfo.Password = "dstreports"
        myConnectionInfo.IntegratedSecurity = False
    End Sub
    Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
        ConfigureCrystalReports()
    End Sub
End Class

Thanks Jonathan for the tip. I tried it before and after the setDatabaseLogin call yesterday, but got the same results. I'm still going to follow your suggestion because that makes more sense.
Turns out it was the configuration of my ODBC/System DSN that was causing the problem. I reconfigured the System DSN by clearing the check box to provide username/password and now I don't get the Database Login anymore.
I found a different blog post that answered the OLE DB issue I was seeing where the DatabaseName was coming up blank:
Login Error Database at Runtime
Haven't tried it yet and probably won't because I got the Viewer to work with ODBC the way I like it.
Thanks for the help!

How to avoid login prompt when viewing reports

Hello,
I am trying to access a report that I have put in the shared reports folder
I have copied the URL, see below, from the copy shortcut link.
However I am being prompted for a User name and password
http://server:port/OracleBAM/12345/reportserver/default.jsp?Event=viewReport&ReportDef=6&Buttons=False&ReportParameters=()
Can you please advise
a) If I can bypass or default a username and password in the URL
b) If the above is not achievable then do I need to set up each person, viewing the report, with a username and password and somehow pass these credentials in with the URL.
Thanks in advance,
Kevin

Hi Kevin,
I am sure its too late to post a reply for this question but it will be useful for others.
Yes, you can bypass the login prompt by implementing SSO to the BAM with a default username/password.
You can write a simple java code to simulate the process of submitting a login form, thus allowing users to access weblogic protected resources, like BAM report URL, without re-entering the username and password in the login page.
You can use HTTP client API to simulate Form Based HTTP Authentication. It will have to first post HTTP request to authenticate default user 'weblogic' and then from HTTP response get the cookie and pass it to the subsequent HTTP request (with the report URL) to access protected resource.
I had the same requirement and it worked for me :).
Thanks

Office documents are left with references to templates which may be inaccessable, causing errors, slowness or login prompts

[Possible should be in a SharePoint forum, not entirely sure.]
Hey People,
this
MSDN article is still the only reference I can find to this problem, so I thought I'd raise it again, given that it impacts SharePoint 2013 users.
In my case, it's SharePoint 2010 (on prem) and Office 2010, but I've done a quick test in SP2013 [it's the same] and SharePoint Online (O365) [it's OK].
If you create a document from within SharePoint (I've only checked Word), you will end up with a reference to the creating temlplate inside the DOCX file.
This reference causes the document to "phone home" every time it is opened, which may not be ideal if:
1) user does not have permission to access the original site/document library
2) user is opening the document from a network that does not have access to the original SharePoint server
3) you don't want to reveal your internal server names/aliases/site paths/etc to the person you are sending the document to.
Note: if the user does not have permissions to the original server/site/doclib, they will get a login prompt when they open the document. The login can be cancelled and the user will still be able to view the document.
If you know about unpacking DOCX files, the offending file is word\_rels\settings.xml.rels
If the only reference in there is to the template, you can safely delete this file and repackage the DOCX.
I haven't attempted to use the various metadata stripping tools out there to see if they remove it.
I'm somewhat surprised more people aren't seeing this. I'm even surprised it doesn't turn up at my office more, but then I guess most people will create the document in Word/Excel/PowerPoint and then save to SharePoint, rather than using SharePoint's
own New Document functionality.
Anyone else seen/experimented with this further?

Login Prompts

Hi all. I hope this will be an easy one for you. I currently have AAA enabled on my switches and routers. The methods list is using the TACACS+ server first, then local as the failover. What I would like the switch to do is provide an alternate login prompt when the device has failed over to local when the ACS Server is unreachable. Presently the prompt is the default "Username" for both TACACS+ and the failover local. Is it possible to change the prompt when the device has failed to reach the ACS server and is now using local authentication? The delay in the login prompt appearing when local is being used should be enough for most to figure out, but I have a few users logging in that are having trouble and I would like to make it easier for them. Thanks for the help!!

Well there doesn't seem to be a method which would give you an alternate prompt when your Tacacs has failed.

Occasional Database Login prompts

Post Author: Jon Webb
CA Forum: .NET
I'm have a problem with occasional logon info prompts when I refresh a report. I'm using Crystal Report .NET XIR2 with SQL Server Express. Normally, my reports work fine. The server and database are set dynamically at runtime. The code I use for this is: Protected Sub SetDatabaseConnection(ByVal rd As ReportDocument) Dim tlois As TableLogOnInfos = Me.CrystalReportViewer.LogOnInfo Dim ci As New ConnectionInfo ci.DatabaseName = DefaultDatabase ci.IntegratedSecurity = False ci.Password = Password ci.UserID = User ci.ServerName = DefaultInstance For Each tloi As TableLogOnInfo In tlois tloi.ConnectionInfo = ci Next If rd Is Nothing Then rd = Me.CrystalReportViewer.ReportSource For Each table As Table In rd.Database.Tables table.LogOnInfo.ConnectionInfo = ci table.ApplyLogOnInfo(table.LogOnInfo) Next For Each subreport As ReportDocument In rd.Subreports For Each table As Table In subreport.Database.Tables table.LogOnInfo.ConnectionInfo = ci table.ApplyLogOnInfo(table.LogOnInfo) Next Next End SubSometimes, however, I get Database Login prompts when I refresh the reports. This happens with some reports and not others, even though I call the same method above for all reports. The Database Login prompt has the right server name, user, and password, but the database name is blank.The behavior varies over time. Yesterday, for example, one of my reports was showing this behavior, and another wasn't. Today, without any code changes, I'm getting it in two reports. But a third report still works. All three reports use the same command for accessing the database data, and have the same subreport structure.Also, the behavior is client-dependent. I can run the report on one PC (using the same SQL Server) and the report works fine. On another client, I consistently get the login prompt with two reports but not another. I believe the problem only occurs where the server is remote. We've never seen it with a local SQL Server. All this leads me to think that something is happening behind the scenes with Crystal Reports. Perhaps the logon info is being cached somewhere and not reinitialized. I've tried rebooting my client machine and restarting the SQL Server to no avail. Does anyone have an idea what is going on here? This is a serious problem for some of our customers.

Login prompt appearing when opening Excel Files - SharePoint 2010 SP1 - Office 2007

hi,
i have 2 sites on the same server, 1 at Port 80 and 1 at port 8300
https://contoso.com
https://contoso.com:8300
Both are under same AD and credentials.
But when users on 8300 port site, tries to open office files such as Word or Excel.
In read only mode, login credentials screen comes atleast 3 times again and again, although users are using same and correct credentials
but when clicked as edit mode, then file just opens.
I have saves their credentials locally using credentials vault under user accounts.
while suggestions on this page were already there:
http://sharepoint.licomputersource.com/2011/04/sharepoint-2010-prompts-for-credentials-when-opening-office-documents/
I have added https under Excel trusted File Locations under CA
I have correct AAM mapping under CA.
Please guide how to fix this. Thank you
Server: Sharepoint 2010 SP1
End Users: Office 2007 and Office 2010

Hi,
For Login prompt appearing, please refer to:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/943280. also, please make sure you have already add this site into trusted sites zone in IE since after this settings, you will not get the read only/edit popup windows. you can change different computers to test
to check if the office settings has some special. in addition, please keep one version of office product.
For he excel files open in browser and then have a option to open in Excel, please go to library settings > advanced settings > Opening Documents in the Browser to check if both sites have the same settings. also, maybe you miss click the open in word/
open in excel button after open in brwser.

Why am I prompted for login, only when booting up?

Hi,
I've set a login for my MBP, but have noticed that I'm not prompted to login when restarting. Only when returning from sleep or booting up fresh.
I've reviewed the Security settings but everything "seems" correct. I'm supposed to be prompted when returning from sleep and after the screen saver is activated.
Not sure what else to check to insure this after a restart.
Thanks for any help.

This is actually an Account setting... not a security setting. Open System Preferences and then Accounts. On the bottom left, select Login Options. Automatic Login is probably checked (it usually is by default). Just unselect it. If it is grayed out, you'll need to click the little lock on the bottom of the window to unlock the preference.

When launching Bus rules from certain dataforms get Planning login prompt

HI,
I have a strange problem only on certain forms in my planning application.
I find on some data forms when the user launches an associated business rule, after selecting the rule, and clicking launch, instead of the normal progress bar window appearing, in that popup window, and new planning login prompt appears with a message saying the session has timedout. If you close that window , you can continue using Planning as normal, but you just can't launch that rule from that particular form.
The same Business rule, has been linked to another dataform, and actually runs normally there.
Has anyone else also experienced this problem?
Regards,. Imran

turned out to be an internet explorer issue.Thanks.

Login prompt appears for web app when sql db is not on same server as WebAp

Hi,
I am deploying a VS2005 web application on a server (which has crytalReportsviewer); lets call that server A. The database the crystal reports access are on a different server, server B. In this scenario, when I run the web application, and try to bring up the reports on the web page, I get login prompt. Even if I provide valid login credentials (I have set up a user for this purpose the behavior is erratic; for some reports the report is displayed and for others it errors out with 'unknown error' message.
If I put the sql db on the same server, it works fine.
I use the crystal reports application to update the database source. When I do this, I use Ole db connection and set the 'integrated security' to true. But setting the integrated security to true does not bypass the login screen on the web app.
My question is, how do I set up the report database parameters (connection string etc) so that the user of the web application does not have to go through the login screen when the web application and the sql db does not reside on the same server.
Thanks.

That sound like a [Double-Hop|http://blogs.msdn.com/knowledgecast/archive/2007/01/31/the-double-hop-problem.aspx] issue.
You'd install and configure Kerberos to hop over the credentials - see post: SQL Server 2005 integrated security.

OWA continuously prompts MailUser user when saving appointment for shared mailbox

We have a number of users of type 'mailuser' who are granted full permissions to shared mailboxes. If a user of mailuser usertype does the following, they are unable to save appointments to the shared mailbox's calendar. Outlook Web App will
continuously prompt the user to re-login. The functionality works in IE but *not* in FireFox (Update v28.0) and Chrome - I know probably beyond what can be fixed server-side but never hurts to ask.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Mailuser user is granted full access to a shared mailbox.
2. Mailuser accesses shared mailbox in OWA at https://mail.myorg.com/owa/[email protected]
3. User goes to the Calendar within OWA and double-clicks a timeslot to add an appointment. After appointment details have been entered, click "Save and Close"
4. Outlook Web App responds with a login prompt (same as initial prompt) and the user is unable to add the appointment - can't re-login via the prompt using the mailuser username and password.
Thanks.

Hi,
I have tested in my Exchange 2007 environment with IE. I can user mail user's credential to access shared mailbox can add appointments perfectly.
Please make sure the shared permission is set to Full Access instead of other mailbox permission. Also confirm the web browser for OWA access is a supported browser with OWA premium. If the issue persists, pleae remove the mailbox permission then re-add
it back to have a try.

Winnie Liang

InfoView needs login information when dynamic parameters are included

Hi,
we've got a Crystal Reports Server 2008 and everything worked fine in the past, but then we had to reinstall the server and now we've got the following problem:
Although we saved the Login information of the report on the server, InfoView asks the user again when you he wants to open the report. But this only happens when the report has a dynamical parameter.
We really tried alot of things but we didn't find a solution and i'm very sure every setting is the same like before the new installation.
Do you have any idea how we can fix this problem?
Database connection is ODBC, but the settings of the connection wasn't changed and the reports are still the same, too. I think it has to be a problem of the server. When we create a new report everything works fine and the login informations are saved but as soon as we include a dynamical parameter, infoview wants the login information again. Btw: We're using Tomcat.
Thanks for you help!

Hi,
thanks for you answer!
I'm sorry, but yes, parameter means prompt.
When I try Infoview I'm using the same login information as in CR, but we also tried different.
The User has definitely the right to open the report, because he can type in the information when he opens the report in InfoView, and the report and prompt works. The strange thing is, that the login information are already saved in the properties of the report and should'nt be asked again.
Still no solution for this problem... any other ideas?
Again, everything works fine before we made a new installation of the server and im very sure that every setting now is the same, but the port of the infoview has changed, is there a possibility that some ports need to be opened now or something like that?
