We have several external corporate websites running on Sharepoint 2010.
Internally we have begun to roll out IE10 to our user base, and this has thrown up an problem for our users when they try to access a MS Office document within any of the site libraries.
For example, we have an extranet site, access over http:\\ , word documents are uploaded to various folders
We use a custom SSO for our users, and once they have logged in they than can choose to open or save the document.
Now, within IE9, you are given the option to open, save, or save as. If the user chooses open, than a call is made to the word application, and the item opens up successfully. Likewise if the user chooses to save or save as they experience the same outcome.
Now that we have upgraded them to IE10, when they click on the same document and choose open, they are taken back to the front end login box, where they have to login again. This behaviour only exhibits itself in IE10 and IE11. Chrome, Firefox, Opera, Safari all work as expected.
I have found this article which explains the IE process, http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2019105
Other sharepoint sites, with document libraries also exhibit this behaviour under IE10.
Has anyone else come accross this?
Hi Mark,
Yes the site (and all our other corporate sites) are registered as trusted sites using GPO.

SP2 fully supports IE10. Â You’ll want to supply it for full support.
Here’s the official line on it : http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc263526(v=office.14).aspx It doesn’t mention Service Packs…
I have noticed some strange things happen when on IE 10 and SP2010. The people picker was screwing up for one.Â
Hi Vlad,
Thanks for the response, I see that SP2 has only come out recently for sharepoint 2010. I can see that in the change log that there is a mention on line 170 “Windows 8 users with Internet Explorer 10 receive an error when trying to open a document from SharePoint 2010 directly in the Office client.”
I’m just intrigued how other browsers dont exhibit this error
