I have users of a company internet portal that all access externally. Everyone gets the normal one login for accessing the site, but then everyone gets anywhere from 1 to 4 login prompts for accessing a word document. And if they tryo to open an excel document they cannot open it at all as the server kicks back a document cannot be found type of error. Any ideas with this? I had a question sort of for this.

In our case it was the home page logo. I simply loaded into the site's Shared Documents and linked it from there. Bob Ulysses,

Ulysses Joe,

They still don’t display even after logging in? Look into these four items

  • Are the images stored in a location to which the user has rights?
  • Are the images stored in a site collection that requires a different authentication context (forms based vs AD)
  • Clear your password cache – if it’s in the intranet zone often times passwords are cached ad-infinitum
  • Make sure the URL is accessible on the machine from-which you are accessing the site

On a side note, I recommend that my clients put all images in top level site collection image library that’s accessible to all “readers”.

It is especially visible if you use our external address to try and edit a site navigation from the Site Settings area. Every icon on the graphical navigation section generates a login box. Even if you enter all the logins, the images still do not display! I suspect that the external address should be our real address, and the internal should be a redirect, instead of the other way around. This is a big problem for us.
