WSS - Multiple password prompts

  • 772

I'm using WSS 3.0 SP1 with IIS 6.0 on integrated authentication. However when access Sharepoint this is what happens. You are prompted for a password when you first access the site (via IE8), and then everytime you attempt to open a document you are forced to reauthenticate. This is causing a lot of people to want to kill WSS altogether because they are sick of entering passwords. Any thoughts on how we can get rid of the prompt everytime a document is accessed?

    This does seem to be a standard thing, have never seen a good solution to it.

    Yes the integrated Windows auth (AKA NTLM and/or Kerberos) should work, but it doesn't seem to help when opening documents.
