Hi,

I keep on getting a password request when opening infopath form, from sharepoint  I can autologin to sharepoint just fine and any other document like doc,xls, etc open fine, it  just appears to be infopath forms, what permissions would I be looking at to automate this so users dont get prompted every time they turn their machine on ?

Hi,

This issue typically happens when an external data is  in the InfoPath. The form loads data from a SharePoint list through a data connection or look up to an external data. User must have access to the list and contribute rights is required to use the form.

View users and SharePoint groups associated with a list or library:

1. Open the list or library in which you want to view users and SharePoint groups.

2. On the Settings menu, click Document Library Settings or List Settings.

3. On the Customize page, in the Permissions and Management column, click Permissions for this document library or Permissions for this list.

The Permissions: Securable object name page displays all users and SharePoint groups (and their assigned permission levels) that are applied on this securable object.

Thanks.

Cheers for the reply but the sharepoint site is already in local intranet as well as *.domain.co.uk and that option is enabled. 

Sadly still no luck :(
