I have upgraded a SharePoint site from SP2010 to SP2013 and everything is working fine apart from the fact that whenever I create a new document I am prompted for username and password. I can save the credentials but after rebooting the PC it forgets the authentication and prompts again.

I have set up new sites on the same server and they do not have this issue.

I have the site address listed in the Local Intranet zone and everything is the same as what it was when running the SP2010 site.

Help!

  • How are you creating the document. I'm guessing you're doing New->Document from the ribbon on a list page? I'd check where the document template is stored for this new-item content type (Document)?

  • Hi yes I am doing New -> Document from the ribbon on the list page. Funnily enough even when I create a new document I get the same issue. Where can I find out where the document templates are stored?

  • (1) Go to List Settings > Advanced Settings and enable management of content types, (2) Go to List Settings > (select your content type, likely 'Document') > Advanced Settings .... Check the URL of the existing document content type here. It should be using the same base stem as your site (or it should be relative)

I actually figured out what my issue was. I had a registry entry listed inside HKLM\system\currentcontrolset\services\webclient\parameters called the 'authforwardserverlist' entry. I had this spelt wrong.
