Sharepoint isn't accepting new Credentials initially when switching users.
- by Tiziani
Hi all,
I have a standard website (one webapplication and one site collection) with some custom pages and webparts.
The issue I'm having is that when I try to switch users, using the "Sign In As a Different User" and entering new credentials (even for another site collection admin account), IE tries the account three times, and then it presents a 401 Access Denied screen.
After that, if I erase all the stuff of access denied page from the browser's url, I'm logged as the new account I just had entered and was not accepted.
After researching for a while on google, I found a KB ( http://support.microsoft.com/kb/970814 ) that might relate, but just tested here and it didn't work at all.
The modified method suggested by the KB is the following:
function LoginAsAnother(url, bUseSource) {
document.cookie="loginAsDifferentAttemptCount=0";
if (bUseSource=="1")
{
GoToPage(url);
}
else
{
//var ch=url.indexOf("?") =0 ? "&" : "?";
//url+=ch+"Source="+escapeProperly(window.location.href);
//STSNavigate(url);
document.execCommand("ClearAuthenticationCache");
}
}
But after making this change, it no longer asks for a new credential.
Any ideas?
