Symptoms

On a computer that is running Windows Vista or Windows Server 2008, you use�incorrect saved credentials to log on to a Web Distributed Authoring and Versioning (WebDAV) web folder.�However, you are not�prompted to supply�new credentials in this situation.

For example, consider the following scenario:
  • In a domain environment, you host some documents on a Microsoft Office SharePoint�site on a server. The SharePoint site is configured to use digest authentication.
  • On a Windows Vista or Windows Server 2008-based client that is not part of the domain, you use Windows Internet Explorer to�access the SharePoint�site.
  • You supply the correct credentials, and�then you enable the Remember my password option. Then, you log on to the website successfully and save the credentials.
  • You visit the document library that stores the documents, and then you click Open with Windows Explorer.
  • You are prompted to supply your credentials again. You supply the�correct credentials again, and then you enable�Remember my password�option. Then, you open the document library in Windows Explorer.
  • You change the password for the credential that you use.
  • You�log on to the SharePoint site again. You supply the new password, and�log on to the�website successfully.
  • You visit the document library again, and then you click Open with Windows Explorer.
� In this scenario, you are not prompted to�enter the correct password. Therefore, you cannot open the document library in Windows Explorer.
