FIX: Microsoft Office supports only forms-based authentication (FBA) through persistent cookies and does not support the acquisition of session cookies from a process in Internet Explorer 7
Currently, the 2007 Microsoft Office system supports only forms-based authentication (FBA) through persistent cookies, such as the authentication cookies that are written to disk. Office does not support the acquisition of session cookies from a process in Internet Explorer 7.
However, in Windows Server 2008 Service Pack 2 (SP2) and in Windows Vista Service Pack 2 (SP2), the 2007 Microsoft Office system supports authenticating against FBA sites. Specifically, when you receive a particular response from the Web site, the 2007 Microsoft Office system now creates a Trident window that you can use to sign in to the Web site. The 2007 Microsoft Office system obtains cookies from that session, and you can access the content in the Web site.
To resolve this issue, obtain Windows Server 2008 SP2 or Windows Vista SP2 Release Candidate (RC). To obtain these programs, visit the following Microsoft Web site:

Community Feedback System
Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high
and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances
are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back.
Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what
didn't.
Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be
correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each
other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're
not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry
edits), please consult a professional.
Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
