Prompted for Username and Password When You View a Filtered List in a SharePoint Team Services Web Site (822619)


The information in this article applies to:

  • SharePoint Team Services from Microsoft

SYMPTOMS

When you try to view My Tasks in your SharePoint Team Services 2001 Web site, you are prompted to type your username and password. After you type your username and password, nothing happens.

CAUSE

This problem may occur if the account that you are browsing with has only been granted permissions to the site through a group, not explicitly through the domain account.

WORKAROUND

To work around this problem, change the Schema.xml file in Notepad. To do this, follow these steps on your Windows SharePoint Services Web server:
  1. In Microsoft Windows Explorer, locate the following folder:

    C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\50\Templates\1033\Layouts\Tasks

  2. Right-click Schema.xml, point to Open With, and then click Notepad.
  3. On the Edit menu, click Find.
  4. In the Find what box, type userid, and then click Find Next.
  5. Click Cancel to close the Find dialog box.
  6. Locate the following code:
       <Eq>
   <FieldRef Name="AssignedTo"></FieldRef>
   <Value Type="Integer">
   <UserID></UserID>
   </Value>
   </Eq>
  7. Type Type="FALSE" in the UserID tag. The code will now look similar to the following:
       <Eq>
   <FieldRef Name="AssignedTo"></FieldRef>
   <Value Type="Integer">
   <UserID Type="FALSE"></UserID>
   </Value>
   </Eq>
  8. On the File menu, click Save to save your changes.
  9. On the File menu, click Exit.
