Problem

The CRM Communications Connector Client requests login credentials for every pop-up window (see Figure 1). The problem is different for Microsoft Windows 2000 and Windows XP, although both workstations belong to the same Active Directory domain as the Microsoft CRM server.

Microsoft Windows 2000

If you use Microsoft Windows 2000, the CRM Communications Connector Client remembers your password when you check the Remember my password check box (see the arrow in Figure 1). However, you are still prompted to click OK for each pop-up window.

Microsoft Windows XP

If you use Microsoft Windows XP, the CRM Communications Connector Client does not remember the password even after you check the Remember my password check box. You are prompted to enter the password and click OK for every pop-up window.

Solution

This problem occurs due to a configuration issue with Microsoft Internet Explorer.

Complete these steps to solve the problem:

1. Open an Internet Explorer browser window.

2. Select Tools > Internet Options from the menu bar.

   The Internet Options dialog box appears (see Figure 2).

3. Click the Advanced tab.

   Figure 2 – Internet Options: Advanced Tab

   

4. Ensure that the Enable Integrated Windows Authentication (required restart) check box is not checked.

5. Click the Security tab.

6. Select Trusted sites.

7. Click Sites.

   The Trusted sites dialog box appears:

8. Select the top-level URL for the CRM server.

9. Click Add.

10. Click OK twice.
