Hi Everyone,
Is there a way to get around users having to click on the “Sign In” option by having their network credentials automatically passed i.e. when they open their browser it automatically logs into SharePoint.
T.i.a
What version of SharePoint are you using and what type of credentials/authentication?
We are using Active Directory and MOSS 2007. We have the users set the SharePoint URL as local intranet site in the browser (our site is internal faculty/staff only), and once they are logged on to the domain, they log into SharePoint automatically (in IE at least). Is that what you are wanting to do?
Hi Vlad,
All the settings are as you have instructed, I am thinking its an issue for the network techies.
Users don’t need to “sign in” manually just click on the Sign In and that’s it but the IT Manager doesn’t want them to do that but if the IE settings are correct then its back to IT Manager & his time me thinks 😉
Thanks for your help too 🙂
Hi Jonathan.
Is the SharePoint Server in the same domain as your users?
In Internet explorer, go in Internet Options, Security, Local Intranet Zone, Custom Setting, scroll at the bottom and check if it’s in “Auto Logon”. One last thing, how did you put the site in your zones? It’s better to enter it as *.domain.com
Hi Thuan,
Yeah have tried that setting & also putting the site into Local Intranet but still the users have to click on Sign In………
I’m thinking its an IIS thing, perhaps 🙁
Thanks for your help though 🙂
Hi Jonathan,
You need to add SharePoint sites to Trusted Sites in Internet Explorer. End-users must log into their computers that is already joined to domain controller. I’ve done many times by this way. Haven’t configured in Firefox though.
