Sharepoint asking for credentials when logging in

Hello Community
    Using Sharepoint 2010 Server with the UI, when a user in the trusted domain in another forest logs into the intranet (the trusting domain in the other forest) the user is prompted for username and password. How can do you stop Sharepoint
from prompting the user for username and password?
    Thank you
    Shabeaut

Hi Shabeaut,
Please add SharePoint URL in your IE trusted sites zone, and select the option "Automatic logon with current user name and password" for User Authentication->Logon, then check if it still prompts the credential window.

Lync 2010 client asks for credentials when outside of corporate network.

Hello,
We are running Lync 2010 Enterprise. Everytime our Lync users are outside of our network and they log in to their Lync client, they get a pop-up window asking for credentials. When they log into Lync inside our network the Lync client connects automatically
without asking for credentials. Is this normal behavior? I assumed that the Lync client would behave exactly no matter where they were connecting from. They are using Lync 2010 client on domain joined laptops, I would assume the Lync client would just use
the same credentials they used to log in to their computers and not ask for anything. Please let me know if there is a way to stop the pop-up from showing up when people try to connect to Lync from outside our network.
Thanks for any help!

Outside of the network the credential popup is for Exchange web services on the back end to check calendar info, contact lookup, etc. If Lync is already logged in when they see the popup, this is normal behavior.

Login screen does not ask for password when logging into user account

This is an issue that did not immediately manifest itself after I have upgraded to Snow Leopard. I am not sure what exactly triggered it.
Anyway, now at the login screen if I choose to login with my own user account, i.e. clicking on the icon associated to my user account, I am not prompted for the password and the system seems to start trying to login, as there is a discernible pause. Obviously that will fail, and I am returned to the login screen again.
If I choose the other user option, as before I will be allowed to manually type in an user id and password, and using this way I am able to login into my own account (previously I only use this for logging in to the root account).
Any idea on how I can make the field for typing in the password appear again? Thanks.

Just to report that deleting /Library/Preferences/com.apple.loginwindow.plist did not help.
Anyway I installed Snow Leopard again and the problem went away. Hope I will not do something that will trigger it again.

Popup for credentials when connecting to OWA/ECP when using HLB DNS name

Hi,
We're experiencing a strange problem when connecting to OWA/ECP.
Since a week or two, we get a popup for credentials when logging onto
https://mail.customer.com/owa.
When the credentials are filled in the first time, we keep receiving the popup, and can't get through.
We're using integrated authentication internally.
When connecting externally, we get a popup from a non domain-joined pc, but get passed correctly to owa and ECP.
We're using a load balancer that uses mail.customer.com, and distributes it over the 3 exchange servers.
When connecting directly to each exchange server, we get a certificate warning (which is logic), but after confirming we get passed to ecp or owa correctly.
Works :
https://exchangeserver1.customer.com/owa (after receiving certificate warning)
https://exchangeserver2.customer.com/owa (after receiving certificate warning)
https://exchangeserver3.customer.com/owa (after receiving certificate warning)
https://10.10.10.30/owa (after receiving certificate warning) > 10.10.10.30 is the VIP ip address used for loadbalancing
Doesn't work :
https://mail.customer.com/owa
When changing the hosts file, and set mail.customer.com to point directly to one of the exchange servers, it doesn't work either.
PS :
So mail.customer.com gets forwarded to the VIP ip address.
We don't experience any problems with outlook.

Hi
Chek if VIP FQDN is added to DNS
Check if RpcClientAccessServer parameter using Set-MailboxDatabase for each mailbox database in the appropriate site
Set-MailboxDatabase -RPCClientAccessServer "CASArrayFQDN"
Change AutoDiscoverServiceInternalUrl on each CAS using Set-ClientAccessServer
Change InternalUrl parameter on each CAS using Set-WebServicesVirtualDirectory Identity EWS*in the appropriate site
Change the InternalURI in the Exchange Control Panel, offline address book, and Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync (through management console under server management for each appropriate CAS)

Getting Prompt for Credentials When Opening InfoPath 2010 Form in Sharepoint 2010

I have a domain user who runs Office 2010 x32 and uses a Sharepoint 2010 site daily. Lately a specific page on that site has been randomly giving prompts for credentials when opening existing documents and creating new ones. The process can be most easily
replicated by opening the new document template in Infopath by going to Documents -> New in the ribbon bar of the SP page. Most of the time the Windows credentials for the user are passed to Infopath/Sharepoint automatically (which is normal), but on the
fourth or fifth attempt to create a new form, the prompt appears. The user can still enter the credentials and open the blank template form, but a prompt should not appear. The user is also the administrator for that page, so I'm thinking it's not a permissions
issue.
The user is running IE 9 on Windows 7 Pro x64. I have performed the following:
Reset advanced IE settings and all user cache data
Cleared cached Sharepoint credentials in Windows credential manager
Re-applied group policy for the machine using gpupdate /force
Logged in with a clean temporary profile
Logged in to another domain account using the user's Sharepoint credentials
Cleared Infopath cache
Re-installed Office 2010 x32
The problem only occurs only on this particular machine. There are no Sharepoint or authentication-related errors or warnings in the application and system event logs. There are also no error messages on-screen when the prompt appears. I also considered
the possibility of this being a performance related issue in the case that maybe Infopath was taking too long to start, causing the credential pass-through process to time out and fall back to a prompt. I ran disk cleanup, deleted some temporary files, and
checked for excessive CPU/memory load. I didn't find any issues and doing these things did not help.
I'm convinced there is another setting somewhere in Windows that is causing this. Interestingly it always happens after four or five attempts, never the first time. Can someone point me in the right direction?

Hi Titan, this sounds like an IE security setting issue. Things to do:
1. In Internet options>Security>Local Intranet, make sure "Enable Protected Mode" is not selected.
2. Under Sites>Advanced, add https://*.sharepoint.com (and make sure "Require server verification..." is not checked).
3. Under Security>Custom Level, scroll all the way to the bottom and make sure "Automatic logon with current user..." is checked.

Outlook 2013 asks for credentials but does not connect for Exchange email, but only when out of office

Hi,
New employee wishes to use his Office 365. Have loaded onto new PC, connected to exchange, loaded his folders, everything is fine.
When he leaves the office and connects at home, he is asked for credentials.
I have tried the usual credentials: [email protected] and domain\user
With each attempt, Outlook displays disconnected
The password is correct, OWA he can log on fine, he has no problem when returning to the office. He has all the correct permissions in AD.
No other user has a problem when away from the office, but every other user is using Office 2010
Advice appreciated.

Hi,
Please make sure the user has enable Outlook Anywhere in Outlook.
To turn on Outlook Anywhere, on the Connection tab, under
Outlook Anywhere, check Connect to Microsoft Exchange using HTTP, and then click
Exchange Proxy Settings. Your Exchange admin must enable this feature and provide you the proxy settings. For more information, please refer:

Hi, I forgot my user password mac 10.9.4 I don't need it to log in but i need it to make changes, etc. It says a password hasn't been set for this account but it still asks for one when i click on the lock icon. can anyone help me? thx!

This is a little confusing since you say you have forgotten your password and then the system says you have not entered a password. Even with an Admin account you must have a password to install software.
If you are using Mac OS X 10.7 or above, you can change the admin password by restarting holding the Command and R keys, from the menu bar select Utilities, then Terminal. When the Terminal window opens, at the cursor type exactly:
resetpassword
and press Enter. When the Reset Password window opens, select the internal hard drive, and then the user account. Type a new password twice, leave the Hint blank, and then Save. Accept the next dialog that opens, and at the bottom of the Reset Password window agree to resetting the home directory permissions.
Quit the Reset Password window, go to the apple left side of the menu bar, Restart.
And you have a new password for your account.

STSNavigate() still prompting for credentials when trying to open a document

Here is my scenario. We have setup a public facing site the utilizes a Web Application that searches a internal SharePoint 2010 site. The web app utilizes the SharePoint QueryService to search the site. We provide credentials to the service as the SharePoint
site is not an anonymous site (although if the QueryService worked with the site being anonymous that would satisfy our requirements). The Web server allows anonymous access to the web app through IIS. I have found that utilizing the STSNavigate() function
SUPPOSED to allow the document to be downloaded or opened without prompting for credentials. I modified my search results link to include the function on click and low and behold it still prompts for credentials the same way it would if the url just had the
link to the file. I am on a time clock here and I am running to the end of my rope. Any suggestions?

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that STSNavigate() still prompt for credentials when trying to open a document.
Per my knowledge, if you try to open an Office file directly from a remote place, Office wants to know who the hell you are. If the server responses with the
Microsoft Office Protocol Discovery or a
FrontPage Protocol or a
WebDav Protocol
Then it ask you for credentials.
As a workaround, I recommend to “init.js” located in \Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14\TEMPLATE\LAYOUTS\1033 folder.
You need to add this it:
STSNavigate(ctx.HttpRoot + "/_layouts/download.aspx?SourceUrl=" + o);return false;

Microsoft Lync 2010 continuously asks for credentials after signing in

Hi,
we have lync 2010 frontend server at our office, it is working fine for the all the users, but one user who will connect our network through VPN it will continuously prompts for credentials eventhough if we are providing right credentials, because of this
user will be not able to recieve emails from his outlook. all other VPN users working fine. how to troubleshoot this issue, please any help?
Regards
Asha

Hi,
The issue may occur if the Outlook integration is not correctly on this client after connecting through VPN. What is the
difference for the location or sign in type between this user and other working users?
Lync generally only prompts you for credentials after you are logged in when it must connect Lync to a linked service such as the Microsoft Exchange Free/Busy service or the Calendar service.
If Lync continues to ask for credentials after three separate dialog prompts, there is likely an issue with Outlook integration or with the Exchange services themselves. I suggest referring to the following information to check the issue.

Not being asked for credentials in SSRS 2008 R2 for Firefox and Safari

I have an instance of SSRS 2008 that is currently working on all browsers (the URL is something like reports.foo/reports).
I spun up a new instance of SSRS and placed it on the url report01.foo/reports. This new instance is connected to a different domain (I am spining up a Active Directory Domain and trying to build out our infrastructure, so the logins are different).
I am able to access the new URL (report01.foo/reports) from IE and Chrome. It is asking for the username/password and able to get on just fine.
However, when I try to go to the new URL (report01.foo/reports) using Safari and Firefox, it never asks for credentials and shows a blank page. This does not happen for the old URL (reports.foo/reports), only the new URL.
Any ideas?

Hi Ben,
Per my understanding that you have configured windows authentication and which by default will not prompt for credential. So I assumed you have changed the User Authentication setting in the security setting to pop up for credential, for example like below(IE),
If so, your issue about the pop up credetial not pop up in Firefox and Safari can be caused by the related security setting, If you give Anonymous User rights, you may got the blank page:

SharePoint prompting for password when saving word document

Saving a word document back to SharePoint always prompts for credentials.
I am the administrator for a SharePoint farm. We have enabled kerberos, and added the portal to the intranet zone in Internet Explorer by group policy. Most of the time this limits the amount of password prompts our customers see (including viewing the portal
in a browser, and opening documents); however, we are still getting the prompt for credentials when trying to save a word document back to SharePoint.
Here are some details: - SharePoint 2010 - Word 2010 - Kerberos enabled - Portal added to intranet zone in IE - Checkbox for passing automatic credentials enabled
Can anyone help? Is there something I've missed? Is this prompt just unavoidable?

Hi,
Internet Explorer uses the Web Client service when you use Internet Explorer to access a
WebDAV resource. The Web Client Service uses Windows HTTP Services (WinHTTP) to perform the network I/O to the remote host. WinHTTP sends user credentials only in response to requests that occur on a local intranet site.
However, WinHTTP does not check the security zone
settings in Internet Explorer to determine whether a Web site is in a zone that lets credentials be sent automatically.
Click Start, type regedit in the Start Search box, and then press
ENTER.
Locate and then click the following registry subkey:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\WebClient\Parameters
On the Edit menu, point to New, and then click
Multi-String Value.
Type AuthForwardServerList, and then press ENTER.
On the Edit menu, click Modify.
In the Value data box, type the URL of the server that hosts the Web share, and then click
OK.
Note You can also type a list of URLs in the
Value data box. For more information, see the "Sample URL list" section in this article.
Exit Registry Editor.
After this registry entry is created, the WebClient service will read the entry value. If the client computer tries to access a URL that matches any of the expressions in the list, the user credential will be sent successfully to authenticate
the user, even if no proxy is configured.
Note You have to restart the WebClient service after you modify the registry.

'Connect As' doesn't ask for Credentials

I'm new to Macs, and I'm trying to connect to my QNAP NAS from a Macbook Air on Yosemite.
The first time I tried to connect I used the 'Connect As' and entered a incorrect password. (I as did not add this to my KeyChain).
I've checked my KeyChain and can't see an entry for it in there.
Every time I attempt to connect now, it uses the incorrect password, how do I get the 'Connect As' to ask for credentials again?

If a system becomes unresponsive and does not allow you to login anymore then the problem might be due to a serious shortage of CPU, memory or disk resources. For a remote connection it cannot be said for sure because the problem can also be network or routing related. Try to login directly from the system console. If this is no longer possible, then the system "interrupt" or "reset" button is your best friend. When the system restarts, press any key to get into the grub menu and add the word "single" to the kernel parameter line in order to start the system in single user mode. Then analyze what the problem was.
Btw, here is a recent post regarding a script that fires an email when a system is running out CPU and disk space: CPU and File system Altert Perhaps you will find it useful.

Outlook 2010 + Exchange 2010 keeps asking for credentials - Please Help!

Hello All,
Recently after a Windows Update + restart of my Exchange Server I'm having an issue with Outlook 2010 where it continually asks for credentials. Every 5 minutes or so the credentials popup appears and either typing your password or clicking cancel will make
Outlook work as expected again until the next popup, frequency of popups is about 2-5 minutes give or take. I am using Exchange 2010 on Server 2008 R2 and aside from the popup everything is working as expected. This seems to be effecting almost all users.
Some things I've tried already include:
- Removing any saved credentials on computer
- Removing and recreating Outlook Mail Profiles
- Running "Set-AutodiscoverVirtualDirectory -Identity 'autodiscover (default Web site)' -WindowsAuthentication $true -BasicAuthentication $false" in shell to disable basic authentication for autodiscover
- Running "get-outlookanyhwere | set-outlookanywhere -ClientAuthenticationMethod NTLM -IISAuthenticationMethods NTLM" in shell to ensure that outlook anywhere and IIS are using NTLM authentication
- Ensuring that the OAB folder permissions are set to allow Authenticated Users to Read/Execute
Anyways, if anybody has additional suggestions for me I'd very much appreciate them. Many users are using the Web App for the time being (with no issues) since the credentials popup is too annoying for them.

So I made sure that all of my authentication methods match the settings you linked me and then recycled the app pool you mentioned but am still having the issue.
One thing I noticed is that if a user experiencing the problem types their password into the credentials popup it will keep popping up continuously but if they hit cancel it says "Needs Password" where it would normally say "Connected to Microsoft Exchange"
and if they simply click once where it says "Needs Password" then all of a sudden it switches to "Connected to Microsoft Exchange" again and they no longer see the popup until Outlook is restarted.
Just to verify I have the proper settings now this is what shell returns:
[PS] C:\Windows\system32>Get-WebServicesVirtualDirectory | fl *auth*
CertificateAuthentication     :
InternalAuthenticationMethods : {Ntlm, WindowsIntegrated, WSSecurity}
ExternalAuthenticationMethods : {Ntlm, WindowsIntegrated, WSSecurity}
LiveIdSpNegoAuthentication    : False
WSSecurityAuthentication      : True
LiveIdBasicAuthentication     : False
BasicAuthentication           : False
DigestAuthentication          : False
WindowsAuthentication         : True
[PS] C:\Windows\system32>Get-AutodiscoverVirtualDirectory | fl *auth*
InternalAuthenticationMethods : {Basic, Ntlm, WindowsIntegrated, WSSecurity}
ExternalAuthenticationMethods : {Basic, Ntlm, WindowsIntegrated, WSSecurity}
LiveIdSpNegoAuthentication    : False
WSSecurityAuthentication      : True
LiveIdBasicAuthentication     : False
BasicAuthentication           : True
DigestAuthentication          : False
WindowsAuthentication         : True
Do you have any additional suggestions that I can try? From what I can tell my authentication methods all match the default settings now.
Edit: As soon as I changed EWA to just Basic Authentication as it says in the linked default settings I would get an error when trying to browse to the EWA that said "Outlook failed to initialize" and re-adding the Windows Authentication, then running iisreset
fixed the issue. Therefore EWA is the only service with non-default authentication methods now.
