How do we open the file from URL without using credentials

Question

I have the below URL.

http://docs.vinnet.vinu.intranet/webapp/url/accessId/25430142521

By default now, when clicking the document the system will ask the credentials then followed by open the document.

But, i want Whenever i am clicking the URL, it should open the document without asking the credentials.

Meanwhile all the end used does not have the credentials. (will set credentials some where)

How do we handle this case to maintain the credentials for all the user to open the document...?

Hi,

Thanks for posting on our forum!

1) If you want to provide a URL such that a web browser can open the file, then a pre-signed URL is definitely the best method. However, you may need to use a third-party media to call from, like Amazon S3 API. You can also do a reasearch by yourself to find some suitable media that you can call from and choose whatever options you would like to apply. Here is the link:

2) I am not sure if I understand your question correctly.
"maintain the credentials for all the user to open the document"
——You haven't installed credentials for all the users, how can you maintain the credentials?

Thanks for your support!

I have the below URL.

The url doesn't matter. The web site that hosts the data does. Given the .intranet part of the url, that tells me that this site in located on your organization's private network. So you might be able to use IIS integrated authentication. That would be the typical "Windows solution".

But the site needs to be hosted on IIS on a server that is a member of an Active Directory domain. AD is also required for the client and the user account. And the webapp can't be coded in a way that forces users to a "enter your credentials" web page.

You should talk to the server/web admins who support the server/site. They in turn may need to talk to the programmer who developed the webapp.
