• Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
    Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

Does anyone out there know if there is an easy way to have sharepoint pickup the credentials already in use by authenticated users so that they are not prompted for a username/password? I've searched Microsoft and came up empty handed. Thanks.
 
This not a SharePoint issue. It's an IE issue. By default, only sites in the Trusted Sites will be able to use Windows Integrated Authentication. I have solved the problem by adding all intranet sites to the trusted sites via group policy. I added "*.mydomain.com" to the zone. You could also add the individual server. But, that can become difficult to manage depending on how many intranet servers you have.

You also could customize the Intranet zone security settings to allow automicatic logon. But, the first solution I find is better.
 
Where exactly do you add the site to the trusted sites?

I am looking at administrative templates -> Windows Components -> Internet Explorer -> Internet Explorer Control Panel - > Security page under the User portion. I figured it would be under site-to-zone assignment list, but it doesn't show up in my zones in IE after a gpupdate.

Thanks a lot for your help.
 
Nevermind, I figured it out. I was trying to type in the zone name instead of the number that corresponds to each zone. I didn't RTFM. :D
 
In a group policy:

User Configuration > Windows Settings > Internet Explorer Maintenance > Security > Security Zones and Content Raitings

You have to chose "Import". You can customize this before applying it.
 
Cool. I also found out that you can do it through the administrative templates under user configuration. There you specify specific domains or URL's and assign them a zone by providing a number value of 1-4.
 
I am used to using the import becuase I also use Spyware Blaster and SpyBot S&D. These load a ton of sites into the restricted sites. I then use the import feature to import them into a GPO. I then assign that GPO to the entire domain. It adds another layer of protection.
