SharePoint - Firefox and NTLM authentication

Note: Assumes internal SharePoint deployment using NTLM authentication where client machine is a member of the same domain where SharePoint is deployed

I discovered this browser workaround several years back and thought I’d post here for reference. Here is the original source:- http://www.cauldwell.net/patrick/blog/PermaLink,guid,c7f1e799-c4ae-4758-9de7-5c3e7a16f3da.aspx.

 When using Firefox, avoid being prompted for logon when browsing to SharePoint sites by making the following configuration changes to your Firefox browser:

  1. In the Firefox address bar, type about:config then press <return>
  2. On the subsequent about:config page, scroll down until you locate the key named network.automatic-ntlm-auth.trusted-uris.
  3. Right-click the network.automatic-ntlm-auth.trusted-uris key and click Modify. Enter the name of the SharePoint site (see below) and then click OK. For multiple sites, separate each name by a comma.

To use MS sharepoint even in FF:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1419

Please have a look at this worthy open source competitor of MS sharepoint. Free download and use up to 10 users.

I really hate the abuse of dominant position of Microsoft, and its quick releasing products engulfing computer resources and crashing frequently (see Vista).

I found stupid and incoherent to release a system such as MS sharepoint, which could benefit of web 2.0 experiences, and let such applications be browser dependent!

Thanks again to Firefox community, solving quickly every needs expressed by the community and forces users.
