Saving an MS Office document to SharePoint prompts login

microsoft-office-2010sharepoint-2010

When trying to save a new document directly from the Office 2010 program to a SharePoint 2010 document library the users are prompted to input credentials.

So far by adding ntlm-auth settings to Firefox and automatic logon for IE9 the users are not prompted to give their domain logon when trying to open the files.

How do I carry these settings over to apply to saving a new document as well?

If your SharePoint site is an FQDN rather than a single name, you might want to try this registry modification and see if it helps. There is no download, the functionality is included in Windows 7, you simply need to create the registry value.

  1. Click Start, type regedit in the Start Search box, and then press ENTER.
  2. Locate and then click the following registry subkey: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\WebClient\Parameters
  3. On the Edit menu, point to New, and then click Multi-String Value.
  4. Type AuthForwardServerList, and then press ENTER.
  5. On the Edit menu, click Modify.
  6. In the Value data box, type the URL of the server that hosts the Web share, and then click OK.
  7. Exit Registry Editor.
  8. Restart the WebClient service.
