Linked document in Navigation prompting for Authentication

I have SP2013 and OWA to launch docs, pdfs, etc. from libraries on an Anonymous site. When I am in the document library, I can click on the doc or pdf and OWA launches it my browser! Great!
However, we have a link in the Top Navigation bar that points to a PDF in an Anonymously available library and the link tries to launch the PDF directly. (https://website.com/Overview/Documents/docName.pdf)
This requires Acrobat Reader to launch. How can we have it directed through OWA instead?
The Navigation does not use managed metadata or Audience targeting.
Matthew Barrett Concept Interactive Inc.

The answer is that you cannot. OWA (Office Web Apps) only does in browser editing of Office documents. Because PDF is an Adobe format that uses different editing software not made by Microsoft, you cannot get the editing experience though your
browser.
If however, you only wish to browse the PDF in the browser, without editing it, SharePoint can be configured to do that. Start here: http://rahulrashu.blogspot.com/2013/08/how-to-view-pdf-files-in-browsers-in.html
I trust that answers your question...
Thanks

Exchange 2010 mailbox prompts for authentication to Exchange 2013 mailbox

I am in the process of a 2010 to 2013 migration. The only issue I can't seem to manage is an authentication issue with Outlook 2010. My Outlook profile consists of my Exchange 2013 mailbox and a shared mailbox on Exchange 2010. Initially, Outlook was prompting
for authentication to the Exchange 2010 mailbox. Regardless of whether I entered the correct credentials or simply cancelled the prompt, I still had full access to both mailboxes (including Public Folders on 2010). The authentication prompt was removed with
the following command:
Get-OutlookAnywhere -Server my2013exchserver | Set-OutlookAnywhere -InternalClientsRequireSsl $true
The second issue I now have is the reverse of the above: an Exchange 2010 user is prompted for authentication to an Exchange 2013 mailbox. How do I begin to troubleshoot this problem - should I run the same command (above) on 2010? I don't quite understand
how Outlook communicates with Exchange but I am thinking there is an incorrect setting on one of the Virtual Directories(?).
Many thanks.

Hi Dennis,
Please open Outlook - press CTRL key - right click on the Outlook icon from right bottom corner taskbar –Connection Status to check the connection for your Exchange 2010 mailbox with shared 2013 mailbox. The following example in my test results:
Please check your connection authentication. We can run the following command to set your Outlook Anywhere for Exchange 2013:
Set-OutlookAnywhere -Identity "E15-01\Rpc (Default Web Site)" -InternalClientAuthenticationMethod Ntlm -ExternalClientAuthenticationMethod Basic -ExternalClientsRequireSsl $True -InternalClientsRequireSsl $true
In Outlook side, please ensure the following settings in Account Settings:
In Security tab, make sure Always prompt for logon credentials is unchecked and Logon network security is set to Negotiate Authentication.

Problem with Windows 7 802.1x prompted for authentication multiple times

I have setup a WLAN for users to bring in their own devices (devices are not on the domain). It is setup for WPA2-Enterprise/AES and it doesn't require certificates. We authenticate with a Cisco Secure Access Server 5.1.44 (setup with Active Directory).
I have configure dthe Windows 7 wireless client:
WPA-Enterprise/AES
PEAP - removed "Validate server certificate"
EAPMSCHAPv2 properties disabled "Automatically use my Windows login name and password
Advanced settings 802.1x - ticked for "user authentication"
My problem is when I connect to the WLAN, I'm prompted for authentication multiple times (x2). On the second login prompt everything logs in OK. No errors are received after the first login attempt.
Thanks

This doesn't have anything to do with eap settings?
Are the current defaults the recommended settings:
EAP-Identity-Request Timeout (seconds)........... 30
EAP-Identity-Request Max Retries................. 2
EAP Key-Index for Dynamic WEP.................... 0
EAP Max-Login Ignore Identity Response........... enable
EAP-Request Timeout (seconds).................... 30
EAP-Request Max Retries.......................... 2
EAPOL-Key Timeout (milliseconds)................. 1000
EAPOL-Key Max Retries............................ 2
EAP-Broadcast Key Interval....................... 3600
I have seen this multiple times on varying drivers and systems. The first time you login until it is cached.
Thanks,

Regression in 7u55+ prompts for authentication dialogs (JDK-8046211)

I'm tracking issue JDK-8046211 and noticed today it was resolved as "won't
fix" without any comment
Our situation: We have a Java applet consisting of 4 jar files and a JNLP
file. These files are served over HTTPS from a public webserver (no
authentication required). The applet contains an up-to-date manifest with
all the entries required since the new Java security baseline. The
applet/JNLP file is accessed from a web application using Javascript
(deployJava.js). All interaction with the applet is through Javascript.
The web application itself runs on a different server and is protected
using client certificates (2-way SSL) and basic authentication.
Now until Java 7u55 everything worked fine. When loading the applet only
one popup was displayed asking the user to trust the applet (which is
properly signed) and that was all.
However since 7u55 (also 7u60) things have changed: the applet loads fine
but as soon as we call a method on the applet (though LiveConnect) the Java
VM displays a popup asking the user to select a client certificate and
thereafter asks the user to authenticate using BasicAuth.
Important note: the user doesn't actually has to select a valid certificate
or enter any credentials. If the user cancels any of the dialogs the applet
continues to function properly. Logging shows the applet is using the same
cookie as the browser so authentication against the server isn't actually
taking place. Basically the Java VM is prompting for authentication dialogs
for no good reason because the user is already authenticated with a browser
cookie.
Prior to 7u55 we didn't experience this issue (we have users with 7u40,
7u45 and 7u51). Altogether it appears we encountered JDK-8046211, which has
the characteristics of a regression issue.
I'm curious if more people have experienced these issues (I know applets aren't the hottest tech out there....)

Yes the problem is due to an extra HTTP call fired from the Java plugin (only under IE, no issues in Firefox) to the page that embeds the applet. So it's different from JDK-8046211 although the result is the same.
We eventually implemented a workaround: we intercept the extra HTTP request in our frontend proxy server (Apache) and always return 200 OK prior to doing BasicAuth. Here's our mod_rewrite config implementing this workaround:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteLog /var/log/apache2/java_issue_rewrite.log
RewriteLogLevel 0
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} =GET
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} Java/1.[7-8]
RewriteRule ^/path/to/page/embedding/java/applet /dummy.html [R=200,L]

RD Gateway prompts for authentication

Setup:
Deployment Type: 2012 RD Session based deployment
Domain level: 2012
DNS: separate internal and public domain names
Clients: Windows 8.1 ENT
Session Host: Two RDSH Collections
Broker: Single RDSB server
RD WEB: Single RDGW+RDWEB server in DMZ
SSO setup as per M$ and community KBs
Certificates: RDWEB/RDB/RDGW - Public PKI (remote.contoso.com); RDSH - Self-Signed (*.contoso.local)
Form-based authentications has been replaced with Windows Integrated and Clients successfully logon onto the Remote.Contoso.com without credential prompts.
RemoteApp Client gets configured via a GPO without any issues and Feed syncs fine.
Issue:
Upon attempt to launch RemoteApp either via Web or RemoteApp Client client receive a credential prompt from RD Gateway for authentication: *Type your user name and password to connect to Contoso RemoteApps*
Notes:
The Credential Manager shows no saved credentials for the remote.contoso.com, despite the configured RemoteApp Client. If I manually add an entry under Windows Credentials for Remote.Contoso.com with
USER1`s credentials, then there is no prompt and application launches.
Even if the credentials I enter are for USER2, even then the application is launched under the initial
USER1.

Hi,
Thanks for your comment. Sorry for late response.
Enabling the setting through the RDP file:
Alternatively, the single credential prompt setting can be manipulated from the RDP file.
1. Open the RDP file in Notepad.exe.
2. To enable the setting, the user can enter "promptcredentialonce:i:1" in the RDP file.
3. If the user wants to disable the setting, then user can enter "promptcredentialonce:i:0" in the RDP file.
More information for reference.

No prompt for authentication when trying to connect to VPN

Using OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.5, I created a new VPN Cisco IPsec connection with the native VPN client.
I can manage to connect, whereas colleagues of mine (same network, same configuration, same operating system) can.
The point is that I'm never prompted for the password to connect to the VPN: the prompt window simply doesn't show.
Here are the logs from the console:

If I'm not wrong, the window requesting the password should open after the line I highlighted (that's the behaviour we noticed on my colleagues' macbooks), but it doesn't.
Does anyone knows how I can fix that problem? Thanks for your replies.

Did you find a solution to this? I have searched for several hours and found a few references to this behaviour (same people) but no resolution.
Same issue for me, I see the "enter your user authentication" dialogue box, but there are no text boxes to enter credentials, only OK or CANCEL.
Thanks

CX Prompting for Authentication to Citrix, OWA

Running 9.1.2.29
We believe this is relatively new. CX module is prompting for credentials (Active Auth) for users at home, connecting to Outlook Web Acces, Citrix, etc. inside of the firewall. Internal users using the same resources are not.
I cannot even visualize where the CX module would be inspecting the traffic in, then out again for an internal server.
What configuration / policies exists to control that behavior?

Marvin,
Thanks for the continued help and sorry for the delay. The configuration you were looking for is in my global_policy:
policy-map global_policy
class inspection_default
inspect dns preset_dns_map
inspect ftp
inspect h323 h225
inspect h323 ras
inspect rsh
inspect rtsp
inspect sqlnet
inspect skinny
inspect sunrpc
inspect xdmcp
inspect sip
inspect netbios
inspect icmp
class DR_GRE
set connection timeout idle 0:00:15
class NFLOW
flow-export event-type all destination 10.128.36.16
class Internet
cxsc fail-open auth-proxy
Does this help?!

Create a new link in the navigation bar for cutom application

Dear CRM guru's,
I am new to CRM 2007 and I need to create a custom application which would present a web form to the user(all CRM business roles), user would fill in few details and upon submit action of the form, I need to write the data into z tables in CRM 2007 Web-UI framework. Can you please share your thoughts here.
Thanks!
Surya.

Hello Surya,
explaining everything you would have to do in detail is a little bit to comprehensive for this forum. Best thing is to finde someone to explain it to you in person. A colleague or even one of the SAP courses.
To get you startet:
Most important is TX BSP_WD_CMPWB here you can create and test your new component.
From now on look in SPRO for the bold words it is in CRM->UI-Framework section.
- After you created it, you have to make it known in the component repository and create technical links.
- For the technical links you can create logical links.
- These links can be assigned to a logical link group which is then part of your navigation bar profile.
I hope this will give you a small idea how to get around. As mentioned above this topic is big enough to fill a whole day of training.
When holding my first CRM 5.1 training back in 2006 it even took me four days to get the fellows started. With 6.0 it is no different

How to use a link bar or navigation bar for display only?

My app has a link bar in an Application Control bar that is bound to the view stack of the steps in my application.
I would like to use this as a mechanism to show the user which step he is on and how many are left, but NOT to click on it to navigate between steps. I have provided wizard-like buttons to step navigation.
How can I have the link bar not respond to clicks, or, if not, programmatically disable certain steps in it (e.g. "step 2" not available until I say so)?

OK, I have decided it might be easier to use a repeater with buttons in it, such as:
<mx:Repeater id="toolbar" dataProvider="{dataXML}" >
<mx:Button label="{toolbar.currentIndex+1}. {toolbar.currentItem..stepTitle}" enabled="false" />
</mx:Repeater>
So now I'd like to progressively change the buttons in the repeater to "enabled" as I am ready.
However, toolbar.getChildAt(0).enabled = true fails with:
1119: Access of possibly undefined property enabled through a reference with static type flash.display:DisplayObject.

Word 2010 prompts for username and password when opening a document on trusted website

Hi Guys,
We have a website (not sure if the site is a sharepoint site) on our trusted domain that asked for username and password when trying to access it. I added the site to our trusted sites zone and this resolved the issue however when I try to open word documents
I get prompted for usernames and password again if I cancel the credentials box the document opens with no issues.
Below is some of the steps i have taken
- Tried opening other non office documents (e.g. PDF, JPEG) and they open with no issues
- Tried to opening the word documents with a system that only had word pad install and not Office 2010 and the documents open with no issues so it looks like it's an office 2010 problem
Can you please advise how I can resolve this issue and if this is a client issue or an issue on the web server thanks

Hi,
This issue is caused by the Office suit itself. When Internet Explorer opens an Office document, the appropriate Office application is started with the path of the document. The Office application then tries to access the document directly from
the server. This differs from other browsers and other file types. Most browsers download the file and call the application to open the file from the local cache. However, when this occurs, if the opened file is changed and saved,
the changes are only made to the local copy and not to the server copy.
To establish the richest experience possible, the first thing that the Office application does is communicate with the server to determine the server type and what web authoring protocol is available. The application does this by making
an OPTIONS request directly to the server.
As a new process accessing the server, the Office application is required to renegotiate authentication. This method is more secure than a method in which the new process uses an existing authentication that was established by the browser.
Please try the following methods:
An alternative with full functionality but with a calculated risk
Client approaches that can reduce the impact
Alternative configurations when the web server does not support DAV or reduced functionality is acceptable

SharePoint 2010 Word, Excel Office Docs keep prompting for Username and Password

Users access SharePoint externally. They have the URL in their IE Intranet zone. They can login and browse OK but when they click a Word, Excel or Office document they get prompted for Windows Username and Password. This works but is never saved, so every
time they try to open a Word Document they get a blank Windows Username and Password prompt.
I have tried every suggestion I can find but nothing works

How to make dyn/admin not to prompt for username and password?

Hello all
How to make dyn/admin not to prompt for username and password? I am writing a selenium job to automate cache invalidation to load test a production issue we are facing. Selenium is opening a fresh firefox session and prompting for username and password every time. I am also trying to modify my script such that it will use the same session again and not prompt for username and password. But I thought of asking this question in the group.
Your inputs will help a lot.
Thanks,
Sundar

Hi,
You can set enabled property of /atg/dynamo/servlet/adminpipeline/AuthenticationServlet/ to false. It will not prompt for authentication.

Dot1x - network access without prompting for password

Dear all,
I have a customer with wired dot1x which appears to no longer prompt for user authentication. The topology is a Radius server, Cat2950 switch and Windows XP clients. Recently, we have discovered that the PCs are not prompting for authentication and users are getting straight onto the network.
When I delete the Windows registry entry
HKEY_CURRENT_USER-Software-Microsoft-EAPOL- UserEupInfo
I am again prompted for the username/password and the registry entry is added back in.
Does anyone know how I can get the PC to always prompt for username/password without having to edit the registry each time?
Many thanks in advance,
Tracey

Tracy,
I don't have an answer to your question but I am tyring to do exactly what you have already done.(getting 802.1x working with xp client to acs server) Can you e-mail me the configs you used (client, switch acs)I am also working with tac but are not making progress. One thing i notice is that the switch port I am using is yellow and shows up down. is this normal behavior when the port is configured for 802.1x?
Thanks, Tom [email protected]

Outlook Password prompt for Linked Mailboxes from certain Domain

Hello,
As part of a migration project, I'm trying to connect Outlook with Linked Mailboxes from users in a trusted domain.
I'm able to create the linked mailbox on the Exchange 2013 (CU7) server without any issue, but when I try to configure Outlook for these mailboxes, it is prompting for credentials permanently and won't start. Log on to OWA with the same user from the trusted
domain is working fine.
I'm able to configure Linked mailboxes from another trusted domain without any problems.
I've already recreated the trust between these two domains (validation tells everything is ok)
DNS is configured with conditional forwarders in both domains and name resolution looks ok to me (ping and nslookup)
When I look at the LinkedMasterAccount of the mailboxes from this domain, I can see that there is only the SID (S-1-5-21-4033829......). The other linked mailboxes (from the other domain where it's working) are showing the Account name (domain\user)
Internal and External ClientAuthenticationMethod of OutlookAnywhere is set to NTLM
Infos:
DomainA: Domainlevel 2012 - Exchange 2013 - Forest trust to Domain B and C
DomainB: Domainlevel 2008 - Exchange 2010 - Forest trust to Domain A - Outlook for linked Mailboxes of DomainA works fine
DomainC: Domainlevel 2008 - Forest trust to Domain A --> can't connect Outlook to LinkedMailboxes of this domain.
Is there anything else I can check?

Hi,
Please check whether the server is configured to only accept NTLM version 2 and reject NTLM and LM, and the Outlook client computer is not configured with the same LAN Mananger authentication level.
Check DC, Start -> Programs -> Administrative Tools -> Security Options -> Note the LAN Manager authentication level.
Check DC's policies, Start -> Programs -> Administrative Tools -> expand Security Settings\Local Policies -> Security Options -> Note the Lan Manager authentication level.
IMPORTANT： You may also have to check policies that are linked at the site/domain/organizational unit levels to determine where the LAN Manager authentication level must be configured. Configure the LAN Manager authentication level to "Send
NTLMv2 response only". If you want to implement NTLM version 2 in your network, make sure that all computers in the domain are set to use this authentication level.

Prompting for User name/Password after I close the document

Hi guys,
I have implemented FSDB repository. When I open a KM document and close it, I am prompted with the authentication window to enter username/password. When I enter correct username/password, it doesn't accept it. However when I close this authentication prompt, I have no issues continuing my portal session.
Please help guys.
Note: I am on EP6.0, SP15.
Regards,
Deepak

Hi Deepak,
I am using SPS15 and had similar issues with MS documents. We were receiving authentication prompts. We omitted the MS Docs from the HTTP compression and then applied this RegFix. For us it seemed like it was an update coming back to the folder where the documents are stored upon opening (for PPT's) and on open and close for DOCS. From what I read in the MS note with the regfix - it seems like updates to the MS folder stucture for the purposes of Sharpoint collaboration stuff.
Anyway,
