Hi, i have a question about the google chrome browser.
When i navigate to my work's Outlook Web Access site to read my emails, the chrome browser is prompting me for a username and password to the server saying "Authentication Required - the server XXXXXX.XXX:443 requires a username and password.
After i put them in i then have to enter in the normal OWA username and password to access my emails as per normal.
The funny thing is..
1] If i click CANCEL on the first dialog it takes me to the OWA screen and i can log in normal anyway. However - subqeuent page clicks will keep prompting me each time for the server credentials.
2] I am NOT prompted for server UN and PW if i use IE or fireFox.
Does anyone know how to stop chrome from asking me each time? or is it a server setting - i do know that a friend who uses the same browser (chrome) and also OWA does not have the same problem (NB: they work at a different company)
Thanks!
