Authentication prompt while opening Excel/word files from Intranet sites
While opening Excel or Word documents from intranet websites in IE8, we are seeing authentication prompt and after providing credentials the file is opening fine. Surprisingly if I cancel the authentication prompt, the file is still opening fine!! Is this problem related to IE or Office? How to fix the issue?
I tried following but nothing worked:
-Moved website from intranet zone and added to trusted sites
-Reset IE8 settings
-From Firefox the files are opening fine. FF is downloading file to local disk and opening it.
-Changed default browser to Firefox and tried to open Excel, file -> open and gave Excel file HTTP URL
Environment:
IE8 - 32-bit
Windows 7 x64

hi ,
this is not an issue,this is created by microsoft office or word to create the owner of the file.
by default it takes the logged in user account or the account used while setup of microsoft office.
u can by pass that by giving rights to office folders in program files..
