WEB DMS Office Document Access- Password Prompt

Dear All,
Business Users are Using MS Office 2007 and MS Office 2003
We have Configured WEB DMS for Development System
In SE80 when CVAW_ENTIRE is Executed and when DIR is Accessed there using Display/Change, All file formats are accesed fine without any password prompt,But While Opening Microsoft Office Documents(.doc,.docx,.xls,.xlsx,.ppt..pptx) from WEB DMS DIR it gives UserName Password Prompt (Warning: This server is requesting that your username and password be sent in an insecure manner (basic authentication without a secure connection))....
When i don't enter username and password and press cancel file opens in Read Only Mode...So, i need is by default file shoud open in read only mode without asking unnecessary Password Prompt...Above is applicable when MS Office 2007 is installed in local PC
For Office 2003 the problem is there for .xls,.xlsx,.ppt,.pptx files , however .doc files opens fine and does not ask for any password prompt and opens in read only mode directly.
The above both scenarios for Office 2007 & Office 2003 works fine with Mozilla Firefox Browser and does not prompt for any passwords.
Help is Required urgently

Akshit Patel

Dude
I'm also trying to enable WebDMS. I have already configured in SPRO.
In SE80, pointing on "CVAW_ENTIRE->Pages with Flow Logic->index.htm", when I click on "Test/Execute", a webpage opens but throws an error:
Business Server Page (BSP) error
What happened?
Calling the BSP page was terminated due to an error.

Office Documents prompting for user name and password

Hi,
We are using SharePoint 2010 and office documents are prompting for username and password when opened from SharePoint. we tried automatic logon setting in internet explorer and set the domain in trusted list
of sites but nothing solves the problem. Anyone please provide a solution.
Thanks,

Hi Sharath,
I have the user id in backend system , it is not locked nor expired.
When I checked the certificate through STRUSTSSO2 validity is showing till 2027.
How I can make sure that there is not an issie with certificates???
Do we need to check something at protal side also?
What all are the steps required for the checking the certificates at backend & portal side.
There is no RFC defined from backend system to portal system in SM59 , I suppose we are using Bapi's for the same.
Do we need to perform some check in Visual Admin also like checking the JCO connections???

An extra prompt appears for Credentials Opening Office Document in Workspac

Hi,
Anybody have any knowledge about this issue? and how to solve these issue?
*6959959* An extra prompt appears for Credentials Opening Office Document using Internet Explorer with Smartcut or from EPM Workspace.
If a security agent with a cookie-based session management mechanism is used, opening Microsoft Office documents from Microsoft Internet Explorer sometimes another prompt for credentials is displayed. This occurs because Microsoft Office issues an HTTP OPTIONS request when attempting to open documents. This OPTIONS request does not contain the same session-related cookies as requests made from the browser, so the security provider issues the prompt for credentials. Please see http://support.microsoft.com/?scid=kb;en-us;838028 for details about how Microsoft Office and Microsoft Internet Explorer open documents.
To resolve this issue, reconfigure the security provider by disabling authentication for OPTIONS requests.
Thanks in Advance.

Not sure if this is what you are describing or not, but please take a look at Document ID 1350828.1 (I have pasted the text below):

Prompting the credentials while click MS office documents in document library in SharePoint Foundation 2010

Hi,
I have site with contains many document library each contains many MS Office and Pdf files. We have provided document library level access rights. While users click the file name, "Prompting the credentials while click MS office documents in document
library in SharePoint Foundation 2010".
Its annoying the user.
How could i resolve this? Its for all users.
Note: only for MS Office file. other files are opening correctly.
Kind Regards
Poomani Sankaran

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you got the promote issue when clicked the documents in the library of the SharePoint foundation server.
The issue may be caused that the Kerberos authentication is misconfigured, you can change to NTLM to check whether it works.

WebI report based on BEx query in Live Office document

Hi
We have a BEx query in BW that has one input ready variable (period). Then we have created a WebI report based on this BEx query (the WebI report itself does not have any prompts). When we run the WebI report we get asked to enter a value in the BEx variable (remember: this is not a WebI prompt). Until this stage everything works fine. Then we have created a Live Office document and added the WebI report. When we refresh the Live Office document, the BEX variable is not shown. The data that is retrieved is from the last time the WebI report run. The refresh option is set to u201COn demand: From the databaseu201D.
Is there a way to get the BEx variables to be shown when refreshing the Live Office document? Remember, we do not use WebI prompts.
We use BW 7.3 and BO BI 4.0.
Kind regards
Erik

Hi,
Unfortunately, this feature has not been developped the BICS connectiviy. It is only available for manda
tory prompts based on universe. Others have noted the same problem, so there is an enhancement request for the feature to be available using BICS connection in the "Ideas Place".
Use the link to vote for the idea, more votes gives a better chance that this will be picked up for development.

Outlook (Outlook Web Access) to Prompt on Logon

I have a system that automaticly logs into Windows 2008 R2. I would set Outlook Web Access to prompt at logon. That way I can logon as a different user

Hi,
This seems to be something controlled in Exchange, and may occur if the Integrated Windows Authentication has been enabled:
1). Open IIS management console.
2). Right click the "Exchange" virtual directory and select properties.
3). Select Directory Security tab; click Edit of "Authentication and access control".
4). Please check whether the "Integrated Windows Authentication" was checked.
5). If so, please uncheck it
6). Restart IIS admin service.
If the steps above doesn't help in your scenario, kindly refer to Exchange Forum to get more specific assistance:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/exchange/en-US/home?category=exchangeserver
If you simply want to OWA to prompt for credentials every time trying to login, please make sure that client machine has the IE security setting that requires to prompt for username and password. Let's take Internet Explorer 11 for example, go to
Internet Options -> Content -> AutoComplete
-> Settings -> Uncheck or check the User names and passwords on forms as you need ->
OK.

TS3991 Does one have to have the latest version of iWork in order to access and sync Microsoft Office documents like I did with MobileMe?

Does one have to have the latest version of iWork in order to access and sync Microsoft Office documents like I did with MobileMe?

Hey there RMBrizzolara,
It sounds like you have downloaded iTunes from the download site, but when you connect the phone to your computer you are prompted to update iTunes to 11.1. I would start by opening iTunes and then verifying the version that is running with this article:
iTunes: How to find which version you are using
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1208
On Windows
Open iTunes.
On the Help menu, click About iTunes. A window appears with scrolling text. The first text that appears displays the iTunes version (press the Space bar to freeze the text if it's moving too fast for you to read).
Also when you download the iTunes installer, you MUST double click the file that was downloaded to install it.
You can check in your Programs folder and try running the iTunes application from there to see if that works.
Cheers,
Sterling

SharePoint Workspace: How can I access synced files in Office Document Cache?

I have the following Scenario and I'm struggling on the Office Document Cache, I hope someone can help.
* Document Library / SharePoint Site on SharePoint Server 2010 holding PDFs, Office Documents, videos etc.
* We use SharePoint Workspace to sync the document library to Windows 8.1 Enterprise Clients and keep it up to date
* This works fine so far. All documents are synced to the Clients and are stored in the Office Document Cache.
* Now the problem: we want to build a Windows 8.1 Modern UI app that lists all documents stored in the Office Document Cache. We already built a similar app that is able to list normal folders stored in the Windows file system... but we can't find a
way to do that with documents stored in ODC.
Is that even possible and if yes, how can we do that? Are there any APIs or methods that we can use?
Many thanks for any answer!

Hello jh-work,
Maybe you can find something in the SharePoint Workspace 2010 SDK:

Can add-ons ever access passwords I enter on a web page?

Another top browser (sorry!) displays privileges used by add-ons, such as "Access your data on all websites." The accepted thinking seems to be that if the privilege is reasonable for the add-on to do it's work AND the developer seems like a trusted source, then it's okay to use the add-on. Unless I'm off base in my understanding, that sounds like passwords I enter on a website can potentially be captured by the developer. I have read the Firefox policy about editorial software review, but I am still uneasy. Can you provide additional information or assurance in this regard?

If you install add-ons from https://addons.mozilla.org/ then you will see whether they have been reviewed (most are) and warned if not. You can read the review policies at https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/developers/docs/policies/reviews The add-on reviewers take security seriously and wouldn't allow an add-on to access passwords used on a website unless it was explicitly stated as the purpose of the extension. All updates from extensions installed via addons.mozilla.org are also reviewed. Let me know if you still have more questions.

WEB DMS

Hi SAP Gurus,
i have some basic Quires to be clarified regarding WEB DMS,
Does Accessing documents through WEB DMS Documents require SAP Logon ID and Password, as i tried opening up the WEB DMS Link in different user System of my clients, but it did not ask them to enter there USER ID and Password, why is it so? is this normal behaviour? if not what is going missing?
once the user enters in to WEB DMS does all the SAP DMS authorization apply to restrict the particular User in accessing the documents, ( based on the authorization to access Document type, Lab Office, status autorization..... of the User ?
is there any developments or enancements allowed in WEB DMS Area?
Thanks and regards
Priya S

Dear Benaka,
yes you r right it may ask User ID and password at the initial generation of the WEB Link,
but i think when the same link will be used by all the users for accesssing the documents in WEB DMS, then it is not asking for UserID and Password.
So when any X Y Z Person uses the Link to access DMS Documents through WEB DMS, we now gave the the same link to all the users to get in to WEB-DMS,
so for each user who is authorised to access Documents in WEB-DMS, ideally should we create as many links as different users, using there user ID and password, so as to apply authorization concepts applicapable to each of them as defined through authorization control?
is my understanding right, require your inputs,
basically if a user does not have access to document type in SAP DMS, he should not have access to the documents in WEB DMS,
Thanks and regards
Priya S

Office Web Apps - Office Web Apps was unable to find the specified certificate

Hello,
Let me start by saying I did not see a forum listed for Office Web Apps and figured the SharePoint forum would be the second best place to post this. With that said, here's my issue...
I installed OWA 2013 on a Windows Server 2012 (not R2) VM and installed all the prereqs as described here: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj219455(v=office.15).aspx Since this is a test environment, I'm planning on using a self-signed
cert which appears to be supported based on info found here: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/2e147f11-6f47-46bc-90bf-b2f179958d11(v=office.15)#certificate.
I created the cert using the following command:
New-SelfSignedCertificate -DnsName owa.test.local -CertStoreLocation cert:\LocalMachine\My
I then edited the cert's properties in the Cert Manager MMC snap-in and added a friendly name of "2014_OWA_Cert". I then proceeded to try and create the OWA farm by running:
New-OfficeWebAppsFarm -InternalUrl "https://owa.test.local" -CertificateName "2014_OWA_Cert" -EditingEnabled
This produces the following error:
New-OfficeWebAppsFarm : Office Web Apps was unable to find the specified certificate.
At line:1 char:1
+ New-OfficeWebAppsFarm -InternalUrl "https://owa.test.local" -CertificateNa ...
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo : ObjectNotFound: (:) [New-OfficeWebAppsFarm], ArgumentException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : CertificateNotFound,Microsoft.Office.Web.Apps.Administration.NewFarmCommand
What gives?

Hi Waqas
Thanks for your help with this. I had a look at both posts, the URL works fine from the WAC server and I am not using a System account to test docs.
Also, this is a production site that is accessible over the Internet, so we are using https therefore the WOPIZone is external-https.
Issue #3 in the above blog link does not reflect the same error I see on my servers.
I also had a look at the information in this link: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff431687.aspx#oauth
Problem: You receive a "Sorry, there was a problem and we can't open this document" error when you try to view an Office document in Office Web Apps.
If you added domains to the Allow List by using the
New-OfficeWebAppsHost cmdlet, make sure you’re accessing Office Web Apps from a host domain that’s in the Allow List. To view the host domains in the Allow List, on the Office Web Apps Server open the Windows PowerShell prompt as an administrator and run
the Get-OfficeWebAppsHost cmdlet. To add a domain to the Allow List, use the
New-OfficeWebAppsHost cmdlet.
I have not added any domains to the Allow list so this did not help either. Should I add the domain?
Any further help with this is much appreciated.
Thanks again.

How to integrate and index SAP R/3 Office documents into resp. through KM

Hi,
Is there a way to integrate an existing store of SAPOffice documents on R/3, stored by default in the SAP R/3 table SOFFCONT1 (KPro repository SOFFDB), into the KM on the portal, so that these documents can be indexed and searched through TREX from the portal ?
I know there is the SAP DMS KM Connector available right now, but apparently this connector only allows access to documents stored in DMS on R/3.
What the best approach to this problem.
Could a migration of these documents to SAP Content Server be a solution ?
Thanks in advance for your input.
Message was edited by: Theo Paesen

Vishal,
Thanks for your suggestions.
I think building a custom connector (RM) is indeed the best option.
I am not an ABAP developer, more familiar with KMC
Could you point me to some more detailed information on the BDS/KPro APIs. Are these also available as BAPIs, callable from an external Java application.
Something else, the SAP Office documents I am referring to are actually attachments to Notifications in R/3s QM module. So, the documents I want to build a RM for are these QM notifications (the parent business documents) and their related attachments (the SOFFCONT1 stored docs).
Could you point out which RFC modules I will need to get at both (bizdoc + attachments).
Thanks in advance for your input

Problem to open Office documents from Sharepoint

Hello All,
We have published SharePoint 2013 (NTLM authentication) via TMG 2010. However, we are having the following issue:
When users try to open (https connection) any Office Documents to Office 2013 they get prompted for credentials, then after they provide credentials they get "Sorry, we couldn't open <URL of the document>". The prompt for credentials is ok because
persistent cookies are not option for us. We don’t have Office Web Apps in use and we want to open documents to client application. Our company users machines are Windows 7, Office 2013 and Internet Explorer 10/11.
I made some tests and everything work fine with:
Windows 7, Office 2010 and Internet Explorer 10/11
Windows 7, Office 2013 and Internet Explorer 8
Almost fine:
Windows 7, Office 2013 and Firefox (latest). With Firefox it works if I open any Office document from summary link list but not if I try to open from inside document library. If I open from document library (right click) to new tab or to new window it works
fine.
Any ideas what’s going on? It must be something with IE 10/11 and Office 2013. I also tried with TMG persistent cookie and then I can open Office documents with IE 10/11.
I also checked with fiddler what happens and I can see that everything stops to 401 error.
Thank you,

Hello Miikkal,
You need to enable SharePoint class in IE. Please follow this
blog and follow this
article.
Once, this is done you can Enable all the IE settings to load for Intranet and Trusted zone settings
Put your site in compatibility mode and trusted zone
Also, make sure that 2 versions of Office suite is not installed on the system. Eg. Lync 2013 and Office 2010 on one single machine
What happen when you by pass your TMG server. To do this we need to make host entry for URL directed to APP server IP Address.
Thank You, Pallav S. Srivastav ----- If this helped you resolve your issue, please mark it Answered.

Not able to open office documents from SharePoint site using Forms auth on a Mac with Office 2011

I posted the same question on the Mac Office forum (http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/mac/forum/macoffice2011-macstart/not-able-to-open-office-documents-from-sharepoint/7fba517b-ebd1-4e90-a54a-c70c5f035146?tm=1418836613595) but figured it's probably more
of a SharePoint question so I'm going to try here as well.
We just discovered an issue where a user logs into a SharePoint site using Forms based authentication. When clicking on an Office file they get
'Sorry, this site hasn't been shared with you' message:
The user can download the file and can also open the file within the browser (Office Web apps). This SharePoint site is on a Web app that uses mixed authentication (forms for external partners) and Windows/Kerberos for internal employees.
When logging into this same site as an internal user I am able to open the file just fine.
I checked the 'Microsoft Document Connection' settings and selected and deselected 'Enable Basic Authentication' and neither helped.
I also tried to add the site URL under 'Microsoft Document Connection' -> Add connection -> Connect to a SharePoint site. When I put the site URL in and click 'Connect', I get an error saying that 'Only connection to SharePoint or OneDrive
servers are supported' message. If I try the same thing as an internal user using Windows/Kerberos authentication I am able to connect to the site just fine.
Any ideas??

Hi Szamir,
As you are using Form Based authentication to open the documents from SharePoint site, I recommend to check the things below:
Make sure that the user has permission to view the documents in the site.
Please select "Sign me in automatically" when you sign in the login page.

Need Office documents in SharePoint to open in WebApps

I have a client who has a tall order at least as far as I'm concerned. I am not a SharePoint person, just a server admin.
My client has SharePoint 2013 running which is accessible from the Internet by providing domain credentials for the domain on his network where the SharePoint server is located. That is working great. You can navigate throughout the SharePoint site and do
whatever needs to be done.
He also has a Remote Apps server which I set up and has Microsoft Office published on it. That works fine too.
Here's where the tall order comes in. He has staff who run around out in the field with iPads who access the SharePoint site and need to view Office documents in it but they can't as the only option they get is to download the file which doesn't help them
because even if they do, they can't open the document on the iPad.
So he wants to tie SharePoint and the Remote Apps servers together so that when these iPad users access an Office document on the SharePoint site, they can view/edit the documents on their iPads via the Remote Apps.
Is this even possible? If so, just how would it be done? Can the two be tied together or will Remote Apps and Office need to also be installed somewhere else for it to work? I see there is something called Microsoft Office Web Apps Server but also
see that a license is required to edit documents. It wouldn't surprise me if he did not want to buy the license since he already has licenses for Office and Server OS and has Office published on a Remote Apps server.
