re-authenticate upon opening PowerPoint or Excel files over https

T

Terry

From a new browser session, a user is prompted to enter his credentials via a
popup Windows NT Challenge Window after trying to access a secure website.
Upon retrieving a PowerPoint file by clicking on the hyperlink, a download
window appears. If the user chooses to open the file, he will be asked to
re-authenticate after the download. This re-authentication occurs only upon
retrieving PowerPoint and Excel files and occurs once per session.

On the second prompt, if the user chooses to cancel the authentication
request he will be prompt again and after repeating this 2 more times, the
document will finally open. If the user chooses to enter a dummy user name
and password 6 times, the document will also open.

Any help / Ideas?
