Session information unexpectedly lost in CRM for Outlook

View products that this article applies to.

Symptoms

Sessions established by the CRM add-in in Outlook can be lost intermittently, causing the user to have to re-enter credentials to access the required information.

The steps to reproduce the problem are:
  • Open Outlook, making sure the CRM add-in loads and no IE processes are already started. Then browse CRM information from within Outlook. Be sure to open several contacts or leads.
  • Then open IE10 and navigate to any website
  • Go back to Outlook and navigate through the CRM information. At some point you should be prompted for credentials in order to access the information you need.
