Problem
How to automatically pass domain credentials to the Enterprise Vault (EV) server if client computers are in a workgroup outside of the Active Directory Domain of the EV Server.
Solution
The EV
server is in an Active Directory Domain called
domain.local.
Client
computers (those computers that have installed the Outlook client
extensions) are in a workgroup (client computers are NOT joined to the
domain).
Clients have
an account in the Active Directory Domain (domain.local), but as
their computers are not joined to the domain they use a local account to log
into their machines.
As a result,
when clients perform any EV operation a window asking for credentials appears
and customers must to type the credentials of the domain account. (Figure

Solution:
It is possible
to store the domain credentials on client computers of the workgroup so they
automatically pass the valid domain credentials to the EV web
application.
1. Open the
User Accounts application by navigating to Start | Control
Panel and clicking on User Accounts.
2. Click the
Advanced tab and click Manage Passwords. (Figure 2)

3. Click on the
Add button and enter the name of the EV server in the Server
field, the valid account of the user in the domain
(domain.local) in the User field, and password of the
domain account in the Password field. (Figure 3)
