Hi,
I am trying to use MS Office 2013 with Alfresco, which I use instead of Sharepoint but that uses the same protocol.
The issue is:
1. From a web browser (e.g. IE 11), I locate a document, then I click on action "Edit from Microsoft Office"
2. Word or Excel loads itself (depending on the format of the file I clicked), then Office asks me for the Alfresco credentials. So that it can download the file with the Sharepoint protocol. In the login prompt, I can check "Remember my credentials" (in
French: "Mémoriser ces informations"); by doing so, I expect Office will prefill the login prompt with the very same credentials I entered at the first time:
3. I close the file from the Office application. Then back to Alfresco, I click on "Edit from Microsoft Office" again.
Result: the login prompt displayed by Office is blank, even though I checked the box "Remember my credentials" earlier
Expected: the login prompt displayed by Office is prefilled, and I just have to click on the OK button
Workaround: add a new entry in the Generic Credentials of Windows' Credential Manager, but this method is not acceptable for the average user
The tested configuration was Windows 7 and 8.1, Office 2013, IE 11 / Firefox 51, Alfresco 5.2 Community.
The credentials "remembering" feature was working well with Office 2010.
What could be the cause of the problem, and how would I solve it?
Thanks.
