I want to create a webpage which shows MS Word documents and are read-write

  • 0

I want to create a webpage which shows MS Word documents and are read-write accessible through authentication.

I have a WebDAV Server running with some MS Word documents on, when i put the following code it opens the documents in read-write mode in Internet Explorer 9

<a href="http://server/webdav/document.doc">Edit document</a>

with Internet Exploerer 8 and below I use the following Javascript code:

new ActiveXObject("SharePoint.OpenDocuments.3").EditDocument("http://server/webdav/document.doc");

This works just fine.
Now my problem is that i want to use authentication.

I would use the following syntax but Internet Explorer doesnt allow this.
see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/834489

<a href="http://username:password@server/webdav/document.doc">Edit document</a>

I already tried to change the registry to allow these kind of links like its described in the microsoft support document but with no use in Windows 7 and Internet Explorer 9.

Anyone knows how to do this?

    Your server must support one of the following authentication protocols:
    Basic, Digest, NTLM or Kerberos. Hypothetically MS Office 2007 SP1 and later versions also support Forms/cookies authentication.

    Microsoft Office (and Mini-redirector) will display the login dialog when necessary, you do not need to pass the credentials in the Url.
