Outlook keeps asking for credentials when connecting SharePoint Li

Hi all
I can successfully connect a SharePoint list (e.g. a SharePoint calendar) to
Outlook. But each time I start Outlook, i'm prompted to type in username and
password. That's a bit annoying as the computer is a member of the domain and
my windows account has all necessary permissions on the SharePoint site, but
I could live with that if the checkbox "Remember my credentials" would work.
But even if I check this box the credentials are not remembered. Next time
when I start Outlook, I have to type in the credentials anyway.
Is there a possibility to get Outlook to save the credentials?
Regards, Marc

It depends on the configured authentication mechanisms for SharePoint, not
Outlook. It sounds to me that it has been configured to use Basic
Authentication instead of NTLM or Integrated Authentication. Contact your
SharePoint administrator for more information.

Hi Roady

I am indeed the SharePoint administrator. And I set up SharePoint to use
NTLM authentication. If I browse the site where the calendar list is located,
I don't have to login. I'm automatically authenticated with my windows logon.
Do you have another idea?

Any resolution on this? I have the same problem and can't find the fix.
Thanks,
Mike

Hi Mike

No, I didn't find a resolution yet, sorry.
But if you find one, please post it!
