Reducing Authentication prompts with IE7 and SharePoint

http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.public.sharepoint.windowsservices/browse_thread/thread/1d76325277083009/9c7090ee299e25ea?lnk=st&q=sharepoint+IE7&rnum=10#9c7090ee299e25ea

Found the above answer online - my users had to login insessantly to get SP calendars in Outlook. It seems to have solved the issue. Hope it helps yours!

Basic content of site [I tried to edit to eliminate some confusion I had]:
The goal is to get IE7 to pass through the username and password of the user that you are logged on as. The best way to do this is to add the site you want to the local intranet zone in Internet Explorer. Then configure the security to automatic logon with current user name and password. For example, to configure automatic logon for Your domain open Internet Explorer -> click Tools. From the tools menu Internet Options select the Security tab select Local intranet zone. Click the sites button then click Advanced button and add YOur domain [ed: I used format *.mydomain.dom]. Click Close, click OK...

NOW - while STILL in the Local intranet zone in the Security tab, click Custom Level at the bottom. In the security settings section scroll to the bottom. Under User Authentication -> Logon, select Automatic logon with current user name and password.

You can use this method for any site that you need to logon with your current user name and password. However there is a current problem, if you are opening an office document or opening “explorer view” you will be prompted for authentication. I am working on a resolution for this issue.
