Opening WI Attachments Requires Username/Password

When attempting to open a work item attachment, we get prompted for credentials each time. Is this expected or something not set correctly Is there some permissions setting that will prevent this

All the users involved are in the project's contributors group in VSTF, in the contributors group of the sharepoint portal, and are browsers of the reporting services.

A few questions to determine if this a client-side or server-side issue:

Are users prompted for credentials when they connect to TFS

Are users prompted for credentials when performing any other action in TFS

Are users prompted for credentials when they try to download files from Sharepoint

Have you made any changes to the default configuration of the TFS web configuration (\Microsoft Team Foundation 2005\Web Services\web.config) Specifically, these sections:

<defaultProxy>
<proxy usesystemdefault="false" bypassonlocal="true"/>
</defaultProxy>

<authentication mode="Windows" />

<authorization>
<allow users="*" />
</authorization>

<sessionState
mode="InProc"
cookieless="false"
/>

Yes we're still having this problem. No, our clients are Windows XP/Pro and Windows 2k. Both have this issue.

Adding it as a trusted site seems to fix the issue.

Windows XP/Pro and Windows 2000. I thought that was only in Windows 2003 server

Simdoc, are you still running into the issue. Sorry for the delay here. Looks like you have the right permissions set on TFS to be open and edit attachments on work items. Is the client Win2k3 I will follow up with members in the team to see if they have any thoughts.

Have you verified your User Authentication settings in Internet Explorer (Tools -> Internet Options -> Security -> Local Intranet -> Custom Level -> User Authentication). Automatic logon should be enabled.

Have you tried adding your TFS url to your trusted sites list

None that I've encountered.

No.

No. And I checked the file to see if it matches your settings and it does.
