While installation of project server and share point used local administrator
accounts (of the server), and PWA users are set up with project server
accounts. When ever user tries to access Risks or Issues it asks for user id,
password and domain name. Project server allows to access risks or issues
only if user enter project server local administrator id, password and domain
as local machin name.

I tried changing PWA user to windows authentication and added that Id to
Users group on the project server. Still it asks for user id and works with
only server's local admininistrator Id.

What to do so project server will not ask user for user id and password
while accessing risks or issues?

Windows SharePoint Services does not support the use of Project Server
Accounts. Use domain authentication for all users and this problem will go
away. If you don't have a domain, you need to give each user a local
machine account to all your users or you have to strip away the security
from the WSS installation. Anything but domain authentication is a
work-around and adds maintenance and risk.

We've had to add the server name as a 'trusted site' in IE and in some cases
had to do the following (the following is given credit to Nicky who asked on
Microsoft SharePoint community. When ever I browse to my sharepoint site I
get a login box asking me for my network username and password. Her
resolution was this:

It is an issue with IE 5.0 above. IE5.0 above has a stronger security policy.
So the user needs to change the security settings in their internet option.
If you do not want every user to do this action on their ie setting, you can
request your system admin write a policy to change every lan users' internet
settings.



1. Open IE

2. “Toolsâ€->â€Internet Optionsâ€

3. “Security†Tab

4. “Local intranet†icon

5. “Sites†button

6. “Advanced†button

7. Key in http://ursppsservername.xxx.com

8. “Add’ button

9. “OK†button
