Pass authentication cookie to MS Word to open word document without MS Word authentication

Prabhat Shankar 0

Hi,

I am open webdav MS word from my web java application by below ms word URI.

I am looking to authenticate user in my application and pass authentication cookies to MS word while opening above document so that no other authentication will be required.

Thanks in advance for help.

Regards

Prabhat

Hi Prabhat Shankar,

Unfortunately, passing cookies and other stuff in word:ofe type requests doesn't work. The protocol handler for those uri's on Windows only causes the application (Word) to open and then either uses cached credentials or prompts the user.

This question is relevant to the [OfficeDev] team so I'll leave the details for them (I work with the [Office Open Specifications] library which does not specifically cover this. But I thought it worthwhile to let you know the story up front.

Best regards,

Hi Prabhat Shankar, this issue is related to your other post (MS Word calling through word URI to maintain cookies) and should be directed at the [Office Development] tag, so I removed the [Office Open Specifications] tag.
