Remove windows security authentication screen when using 'edit in Microsoft Office' feature in Alfresco

Question

I am using Alfresco-5.1, MS-Office 2013 and Windows-7. I have done the Alfresco setup in my system and uploaded few documents. To edit the documents, I want to use the 'Edit in Microsoft Office' feature, but when I click on it, I am getting the windows security popup window screen as shown below and it ask for username and password again. I want to remove this popup window. How can I remove it ?

Setup a SSO that's available to both IE and Office, eg Kerberos or NTLM? — Gagravarr, Oct 05 '16 at 18:59
Does Microsoft Office 2013 support CAS? If not, you'd need to switch to something it does, eg Kerberos or NTLM — Gagravarr, Oct 06 '16 at 09:35

For Office 2013 you needed to add your server to AuthForwardServerList as explained here (WebDAV): https://docs.alfresco.com/5.1/concepts/auth-kerberos-clientconfig.html

For Office 2016 you need to disable modern authentication in Office by setting EnableADAL to 0.as explained here: https://blog.littleimpact.de/2018/09/22/alfresco-kerberos-and-office-2016-credential-pop-ups/

nice finding for EnableADAL. Thanks for your hint and your blog post! – Heiko Robert Oct 25 '19 at 09:38

For a webdav client in PHP we solved the ADAL problem serverside with header manipulation, no client side disabling needed. `SetEnvIf Authorization ^Bearer$ disable_adal=1` `Header set WWW-Authenticate Negotiate env=disable_adal` – Gerrit Oct 25 '19 at 16:05
