  3. Search for NTLM.

  4. Edit the network.automatic-ntlm-auth.trusted-uris value by entering the host name of your DES and save.

Microsoft Edge and Chrome:

  1. Open Internet Explorer

  2. From the Tools menu, select Internet Options , and then click the Security tab.

  3. Select the Local Intranet icon and then click Custom Level.

  4. In the Security Settings - Local Intranet Zone dialog box, go to User Authentication and select Automatic logon to Intranet Zone only.

  5. Add the URL of your DES to the local intranet zone.

Please note that the following restrictions apply when logging in with Windows authentication:

  • If a user belongs to the "Protected users" group, it is not possible to log in to the DOC using Windows authentication. However, logging in with a password works.

  • It is also not possible to log in to the DOC via Windows authentication if users have logged in to Windows with a smartcard. At present, this is not supported.
