Hello, I am currently developing a document management apllication based on the Alfresco platform. This application provides a Webdav server to edit document online. The user authentication is form based and uses persistent cookies.
As Windows automatically shares persistent cookies between Internet Explorer and Microsoft Office, a user authenticated in our application via IE does not have to authenticate when MS Office opens a document via webdav. But the same mechanism does not seem to apply to Open Office, meaning the webdav edition is not possible with OO on our application. Is there any way to force Open Office to use an authentication cookie stored by IE when accessing the webdav server (so without prompting a username-password box) ? Thanks in advance, C. Joannes.
