How can I eliminate the constant authentication requests every time someone opens a document in SharePoint outside the internal network? How can I code SharePoint to open these documents in a new window automatically?

Hi there

its called S2o
the trial lasts for 15 hours or is reset when IIS is restarted.

Seems to work but im still testing, but if you are in the same poition as me you are likley pulling your hair out..!

Unfortunately, the S2O products does not seem to catch the authentication required when opening a Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, etc. document. It constantly wants authentication prior to opening the document in the application. Maybe we're missing a setting or some level of configuration of the S2O product?

I was able to get around the prompt by going into Tools-->Internet Options-->Security-->Custom Level for whatever IE zone SharePoint is in. Under User Authentication, select "automatic logon with current username and password".
