Word add-in - Portal 401

0

Hi Phil,

these are just wild guesses. :)

1. You did change the address in the word addin?
2. Do the users have at least Metadata access privileges on application level?

Hi Daniel,

thanks for the quick reply, unfortunately it's not the meta rights.
On a client also comes a 401 at the browser login but then it tries to call localhost:port.
On the server itself it remains with the 401.

The user is system administrator in the global webcon rights.

Hi Matthias,

I have no idea, why the client would retry with localhost upon receiving a 401.
On the server you may receive the 401 due to LoopbackCheck. There are two options for this, so that you can connect to the portal on the server.
