Placing APM in front of SharePoint 2010

Thanks for the advice.

 

 

After much effort I have managed to get the business o rebuuld heir SharePoint and configured it to use NTLM based authentication - this is now working well with SSO.

 

 

The next problem comes when they wish to use the 'feature' of allowing users to download, for example, a Microsoft Word document and edit he document. Internet Explorer offloads the downloading to Word, which when it hits the APM module fails as it doesn't seem to understand cookies and web logon forms.

 

 

I am trying to find some information on how Microsoft handles passing authentication credentials between IE and Word - does anybody have any idea?
