Hi,
Many of our users have set a site, library or folder as favorites in File Explorer which connects through webdav(?) to SharePoint. As we are using SSO, users don't get the option 'keep me signed in' anymore. This causes a permission denied when opening the folder or library in file explorer -> no cookie is saved. Is there a workaround to have the cookie or 'Keep me signed in' back?
Thanks
Bernd

Bernd Verhofstadt Just curious, are you using smart links and passing the LoginOptions parameter?
@Kelvin, that's one of the use cases I warned you about - mapped drives rely on this functionality, and the LoginOptions parameter was a nice and easy way to handle this in federated setups.

Hi Bernd,
how did "Keep me signed in" work for your users before? If you had SSO turned on they wouldn't have seen the login screen nor the "Keep me signed in" checkbox in the old experience.- Bernd VerhofstadtNov 21, 2017Iron Contributor
Hi Kelvin Xia,
I did some additional tests on the SSO experience. When I delete my cookies and open a mapped sharepoint webdav connection I cannot load it which is expected (cookie is removed). When I open the sharepoint tenant url I get logged in through SSO and most of the time the magical cookie is created. When the cookie is created I'm able to open the webdav connection. For other users (same permission etc) they get a sign in screen where they need to enter there username. then they are redirected to the homepage but they are not able to open the webdav connection.
Eddy Verbeemen please correct me if I'm wrong :-)
VasilMichev few years ago we used the smartlinks to enforce the 'keep me signed in'. At a certain moment this was not longer working and we went back to the default login where we could choose to 'keep me signed in'.
It seems that there is a different between SSO where a prompt is shown for a username and no prompt is shown...
Cheers

Bernd,
We are seeing this issue as well when we try to map a users onedrive. Have you found a fix yet?
