Is the browser configured to auto-login because if it doesn't, then the
second prompt can show up.

In other words, this is usually not a server-side issue. The server will
always challenge the client for authentication when accessing a secured
resource. It is always up to the client to auto-login to prevent such login
prompts from reaching the user.

I have WebDav set up on a 2003 server and everything seems to be working
fine.  When a user opens a web folder he/she gets prompted to enter
credentials and then can browse folders and subfolders that they have access
to.
The issue is that when they try to open a file like excel or word they get
prompted for their
credentials again. If they enter them again they can access the file and
then
save with no problems. But the second prompt seems unneccessary. Is there a
rights setting that needs to be ajusted or something else that needs to be
done to stop this second request for credentials? Thanks
